For his poignant role as Adam in the heart-breaking All of Us Strangers, Scott was nominated for a Golden Globe Award for Best Actor, alongside the overwhelming praise for the film and cast after its premiere at international film festivals in 2023. With a modest budget ($2.7 million), this film had a colossal impact on both audiences and critics being named as one of the top ten independent films of 2023 by the National Board of Review.

Though Scott appeared in television programmes prior to his time as James Moriarty in Sherlock in 2010, it was this role that raised the actor into prominent leading roles. For his portrayal of Arthur Conan Doyle’s well-written nemesis to Sherlock Holmes, Scott won a BAFTA for Best ing Actor. Soon after, the actor returned in another fan-favourite role as the priest in the second season of the Emmy award-winning series, Fleabag.

Meanwhile, Scott ed the cast of well-received films such as Spectre, as Max Denbigh. The penultimate film in Daniel Craig’s reign as Bond went onto dominate the box office, grossing $880 million worldwide on a $300 million budget becoming the sixth-highest grossing film of that year.

In between his long-running roles, the acclaimed actor has popped up throughout popular TV series for one-off episodes such as starring in Netflix’s Modern Love. Off-screen, Scott has been a regular on the West End winning two Laurence Olivier Awards for his role in the 2005 play A Girl in a Car with a Man and his portrayal of Garry Essendine in Present Laughter in 2019.

Scott brings out the best in every role he’s given, which makes it difficult to hold one performance in higher esteem than another. However, in his most recent role in Haig’s supernatural romance All of Us Strangers, Scott spends the entire film offering a captivating performance with such intricate nuance to each line and emotion that it’s nothing short of bewitching and heart-breaking to watch.
