"I know my place," says Reid Scott, describing his character in the upcoming Anne Hathaway romantic comedy, "The Idea of You." "I play a prick."
From "Veep" to "The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel," the affable actor has built a healthy niche body of work playing that arrogant, entitled, difficult guy bent on making everybody else's life a living hell. Yet the reason he's so good at being so awful may surprise you. "I was bullied as a kid," he explained on "Salon Talks," "and I've always had this chip on my shoulder about that. It's actually translated into me being attracted to playing those types of characters."
