Although Adam Scott's most recent contribution to pop culture is his excellent turn as grieving widower Mark Scout and his cheery workplace counterpart Mark S. in sci-fi thriller Severance, he's best known for his comedy work.
His resume includes playing former child mayor Ben in sitcom Parks and Recreations and movies like Step Brothers or Hot Tub Time Machine 2, but now he turns his sights to horror in creepy new flick Hokum. He plays an author who travels to Ireland to spread his parents' ashes, but realizes the place he's staying in might be haunted. This isn't Scott's first foray into the supernatural, either, and it got us wondering – what is it that makes comic actors and filmmakers cross the line into horror? Scott isn't the only one, and plenty of A-listers who cut their teeth on laughs have turned to screams as their careers progressed.
