Andrew Scott On Playing The Grey Character Of Ripley
Andrew Scott is applauded for his role in Ripley, starring alongside Dakota Fanning. The actor, however, shared that he would not want to play such a grey role on-screen very often. After acting in the 2015 film Spectre, the Irish actor stated that playing dark roles is “not a territory that I feel like I would want to go over again. Now that I know who I am a little bit more, I feel like the work that I’m just interested in doing is more in the grey areas.”
The actor also spoke about how he looks at Ripley’s character. Scott said, “I see him absolutely as an anti-hero, but he’s the protagonist. He’s not the antagonist, so we’re seeing it through his eyes; that’s the whole part of it. It’s certainly dark. It’s a definite thing after you play somebody dark like that who has a completely different ideology to you; it’s different; you spend a lot of time in a dark place and don’t want to do it too much, but it was a great honor to play this character because he’s so multifaceted.”
Ripley is now available to stream on Netflix.
