We’ve seen actors play twins and clones, but Adam Scott’s gig on the Apple TV+ series “Severance” is a bit more complicated than that. (Yes, more complicated than cloning.)
Scott plays two versions of his character, Mark: Innie Mark, the affable new head of Macro Data Refinement (MDR) at Lumon Industries, and Outtie Mark, the widowed dude who drinks too much in a failed effort to forget he’s been widowed. It’s the same actual person, but since the character underwent the titular (and controversial within the context of the series) severance procedure, at-work Mark has no memories of his outside life and at-home Mark has no knowledge of his life as a Lumon employee.
