All the Best Andrew Scott Movies and TV Shows to Watch If You're Still Not Over 'Fleabag'

Beloved by the Internet for his role in Fleabag—Phoebe Waller-Bridge's witty, irreverent comedy-drama series—Andrew Scott has emerged as one of the most buzzy actors in recent years. Revered for his emotion-packed, resonating performances and his chemistry with his co-stars—both on and off the screen—the actor has amassed a unique fan base, drawing from all corners of the internet, ranging from ride-or-die Sherlock fans to history enthusiasts who can't seem to stop rewatching his short but impactful performance in 1917.

Although he has become a sensation for many of his roles, one of his most enduring characters is the priest from Fleabag, who is most famous for his devastating but thoughtful line following Fleabag's ardent declaration, with the two-word response, "It'll pass." Fleabag, for all of its drama, comedy, and resonating qualities, has stuck with fans, even years after its release, and has developed somewhat of a cult following. In a recent red carpet interview, Andrew Scott addressed the fervor fans have for Fleabag in a witty response that has since gone viral. 

Whether you feel targeted by Scott's most recent viral interview or you're just looking to expand your cinematic horizons, join L'OFFICIEL in exploring all of Scott's best performances outside of his role as the Hot Priest in Fleabag. 

In Netflix's 2024 reimagining of the classic novel The Talented Mr. Ripley, Andrew Scott stars as Tom Ripley, a mysterious con artist in '60s New York who is hired by a wealthy man to track down his son, Dickie Greenleaf, played by Johnny Flynn. Ripley quickly finds Greenleaf in Italy, where he has taken up writing and painting alongside his girlfriend, Marge Sherwood, who is portrayed by Dakota Fanning. Ripley quickly becomes intertwined in the lives of the pair and becomes wrapped up in a complex web of deceit, murder, and confusion after his schemes begin to unravel. 

Two of the Internet's favorite Irishmen—Paul Mescal and Andrew Scott, of course—joined forces for All of Us Strangers, a gripping, romantic adaptation of the 1987 Japanese novel Strangers by Taichi Yamada. Andrew Scott stars as Adam, a lonely writer haunted by the deaths of his parents, who succumbed to injuries from a car crash during his childhood. Adam frequently visits his childhood home, which has been unoccupied since his parents passed, and finds that he is able to communicate with his parents, providing him with a sense of closure and comfort. While walking home one night, Adam encounters his neighbor Harry, played by Paul Mescal, after a long night out. Eventually, the two become romantically involved, and Adam struggles to balance his romance with Harry with the captivating visions of his dead parents. 

All of Us Strangers was highly regarded by critics, who overwhelmingly praised the film and the performances of Scott and Mescal for the sheer power of love, loss, and grief that resonated deeply with viewers. 

In Catherine Called Birdy, directed by Lena Dunham, Andrew Scott plays Lord Rollo, the father of the titular character, Catherine. The film follows Catherine, played by Bella Ramsey, in her struggles to overcome the marital expectations of a high-society girl in 13th-century England. In the fresh, witty coming-of-age story, Scott's character at first appears as the antagonist—a tough, uncompromising father willing to marry his young daughter off for his own benefit—but as the story progresses, Rollo and Catherine reconcile, and his character is redeemed.

Although it marks a departure in archetype from many of his most famous characters, Scott delivers an amusing, quick-witted, and convincing performance as Rollo, and through his character's growth, it becomes one of the most enjoyable showings in the film. 

Although Andrew Scott's role in the highly lauded 1917 is short in length—with only around three minutes of screentime—his character's impact on the film is unforgettable. Scott plays Lieutenant Leslie, the sharp-witted, cynical military leader who assists two young soldiers on their mission. Through just a few lines, Scott offers a portrayal of a character who sees all the horror and violence of the war and presents it to the audience in a jarring, emotion-laden manner. 

In Handsome Devil, Andrew Scott plays Mr. Sherry, a new English teacher who happens to be closeted at an Irish all-boys boarding school, an environment rife with toxic masculinity and homophobia. Stern but caring, Sherry acts as an advisor to Nicholas Galitzine's character Conor, a star rugby player grappling with his sexuality, and helps him cultivate an interest in music and writing. 

Whether you're a fan of the psychological thriller genre or you simply spent too much time on the Internet as a teenager, chances are Sherlock is where you became acquainted with Andrew Scott, who played the unhinged heartthrob Moriarty in Benedict Cumberbatch's Sherlock. While Scott has been acting since the late '90s, his role in Sherlock helped to put him on the map and served as his first hot priest-esque role. 

In Pride, Andrew Scott trades his beloved Irish accent for a Welsh one, taking on the role of Gethin Robberts, the soft-spoken owner of a bookstore in London. The film, set in the mid-'80s, follows a group of LGBTQ+ activists working to support a miners' strike, and although the case of the characters contains a series of boisterous, standout personalities, Scott's quiet, emotion-driven performance is just as striking.
