Adam Scott Says His Daughter’s Acting Class Was Forced to Watch His Failed ‘Office’ Audition as an Example of What Not to Do

Adam Scott revealed that, more than 20 years after he lost the “Office” role of Jim Halpert, his failed audition still pops up in unexpected ways. Appearing on “The Tonight Show,” Scott said his teenage daughter was enrolled in an acting class in New York when the instructor used his tape as a “what not to do” example. The teacher then compared Scott’s audition with John Krasinski’s successful read—without realizing Scott’s daughter was in the class, leaving her “mortified.”
