While he might not be a main character in the series, Scott is particularly great as Colonel John Parry, a marine and explorer, and is also known as Dr. Stanislaus Grumman or Jopari in Lyra’s world. The character is complex, and Scott navigates his story with nuance given the weighty themes that can be explored in the series.

Locke features one of the best performances of Tom Hardy’s career, as it revolves around a man named Ivan Locke, a construction manager who drives around conducting a series of phone interviews. What makes Locke special is that Tom Hardy is the only character to appear on-screen, and everyone else (including Andrew Scott) only utilizes their voice during the various phone calls. It’s an intimate film that feels more grand than it might let on, and its unique premise really lets it shine.

Scott was tasked with voicing Donal, Ivan Locke’s work trainee who needs Locke to coach him through the preparation of a pour. It’s not the most substantial role of his career, but Scott is quite great in it, and his conversation with Locke is engaging despite being a rather mundane thing to talk about. In fact, it’s aspects like their mundane conversation that make Locke so appealing.

Ripley is Netflix’s fantastic attempt to adapt Patricia Highsmith’s seminal mystery novel, making it the latest adaptation, while also being the first to be a TV series. Because of that, it works incredibly well, really using the extra time it has to flesh out the characters and explore the engaging mystery at hand to its full depth. Of course, it isn’t a one-to-one adaptation, making a number of changes to better suit the medium it is presented in. Still, it’s one of the best takes on the novel and one filled with some spectacular performances.
Both the star and a producer, Andrew Scott excels at playing the enigmatic man at the center of it all, Tom Ripley. It feels like his take on the character is the most monstrous, with him doing some truly insidious acts throughout the series. It’s Scott at his best, and perhaps the greatest interpretation from a character standpoint of Tom Ripley.

Pride is an effective historical dramedy about LGBTQ+ activists that helped raise money to help families affected by the British miners’ strike of 1984. The film is hilarious while still highlighting the similarities and solidarity between various groups of people plagued with different issues. It’s empathetic and touching, while being one of Andrew Scott’s most underrated films, as it feels so real and vulnerable and equally powerful.

Scott is particularly amazing in the movie, playing Gethin Roberts. He is the partner of Jonathan Blake, the second person diagnosed with HIV in the UK, and was alienated from his village when he came out to them over a decade ago. It’s a powerful performance that packs a dramatic punch that is tragic and beautiful. His performance graciously handles the subject material and is that much better for it.

Set against the backdrop of war-torn France during WWI, 1917 is directed by Sam Mendes and stars George MacKay and Dean-Charles Chapman as two young British soldiers tasked with delivering a dangerous message to stop an attack that could the lives of thousands of other soldiers at risk. The film uses long takes to make it appear that the entire narrative takes place over the course of two continuous shots. Mark Strong, Colin Firth, and Benedict Cumberbatch also star.

1917 is a harrowing look at two British soldiers, and their mission to carry an important message to call off a doomed attack during World War I. Utterly breathtaking throughout, what really makes 1917 shine is the way it employs a one-shot technique throughout the whole film, blending any cuts made seamlessly to make it feel like it was all filmed in one massive take. It’s incredibly impressive and mind-blowing from a technical standpoint, but it also can be bleak and heartbreaking at times, showing the horrors of the war at hand.
1917 was nominated for 10 Academy Awards and won three, including Best Cinematography, which seemed like a no-brainer.
Andrew Scott doesn’t have a massive role in the film, playing Lieutenant Leslie, a worn-down soldier who explains to the two soldiers how to cross no man’s land. While it is a small part, Scott is perfect in his role, portraying a weary, exhausted soldier who embodies the bleak situation while giving out possibly life-saving advice in the process.

Black Mirror is fantastic television, utilizing its anthology approach to tell horrific, sad, and sometimes hopeful stories revolving around near-future technology and humanity’s relationships to it. While some episodes are much better than others, each one feels unique in its own way, with fantastic performances across the board from the plethora of actors that come on board. Over the course of its first six seasons and counting, the tales it weaves are often poignant, effective, and often terrifying.

Like most actors who sign up for Black Mirror, Andrew Scott only appears in one episode called “Smithereens”, playing Christopher Michael Gillhaney, a rideshare driver that takes the intern of a social media company hostage. Scott was nominated for a Primetime Emmy for his performance as he was the true standout of the episode. It might not be the best Black Mirror episode ever, but Scott is phenomenal in it.

Created by Steven Spielberg and Tom Hanks, Band of Brothers is one of the most popular HBO shows of all time, and for good reason, since it is also one of the best. Telling the story of Easy Company from their beginnings at boot camp, through to the frontlines of Europe, and into the end of World War II. It’s a masterpiece on every level, as it is exhilarating, gut-wrenching, and incredibly hopeful all at the same time.
Band of Brothers could easily take the top spot on any list, but given that Andrew Scott is only in one episode of the show, it doesn’t have the same impact on his filmography as something like Sherlock. Still, Scott is magnificent as Private John D. Hall, supplying men of the Easy Company with TNT to thwart an attack, and is killed by a landmine in the process. Even though his role was brief, Scott made the most of it.

In this incarnation of Sherlock from creators Steven Moffat and Mark Gatiss, Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman assume the roles of Sherlock and Watson as they establish their partnership and begin solving strange mysteries throughout the U.K. and beyond. Set in a more 2010’s modern setting, Sherlock’s eccentric and complex nature is accentuated as he solves seemingly supernatural crimes with unparalleled intellect while struggling to connect with others on a human level. Meanwhile, Watson blogs the stories summarizing their cases while building a strained but caring friendship with his new partner.

At its best, Sherlock is a masterpiece, beautifully telling the story of the iconic character and the various mysteries he attempts to solve throughout the series. Benedict Cumberbatch is a revelation as Sherlock Holmes and the series is a wonderful, modern update to its source material. The chemistry between Sherlock Holmes and Martin Freeman’s Watson was undeniable and one of the biggest reasons for how good the show truly is.
There is interest in a fifth season of Sherlock, but at the moment there are no immediate plans.
There is a lot to be said about Andrew Scott and his portrayal of Moriarty, the criminal mastermind and foil to Sherlock Holmes. He doesn’t have a significant role until season 2, but he shines in every scene that he is in, portraying the character as dangerous and unpredictable, the perfect antagonist for Sherlock Holmes to face off against. He is one of the show’s best characters, and Scott is a significant reason for that.
