After a whirlwind year of professional accolades, actor Andrew Scott is turning his attention to portraying perhaps one of the most memorable literary figures of the 20th century: Patricia Highsmith’s Tom Ripley. In the new Netflix series “Ripley,” from screenwriter Steven Zaillian , Scott delivers a fascinating performance as the queer-coded killer and master manipulator who is the protagonist in five thrillers by the lesbian novelist.
” Scott, who’s indicated in the past that he’s less interested in popular opinion than in projects that attract him, added that: “We live in a time now where it’s, like, ‘faster is better’ and ‘get it over in 15 seconds.’ So it’s actually quite radical to me that we have a degree of variety in the pacing of the show. Some of it is as it would filmmaking of old, Fellini-esque or film noir.
