People had an instant affection for it from the first episode. The reaction was extraordinary".[19]

Scott received positive reviews for the performance, with comments such as "beautifully played"[22] and [he] "pulls off the brilliant trick of being totally dead behind the eyes and fascinating at the same time, an appalling creature who's both totem and symptom".[23]

In 2015, he appeared in the James Bond film Spectre as Max Denbigh, a member of the British government intent on shutting down the Double-0 section.[6] Of the experience, Scott stated, "I was thrilled to be asked.

I think I allowed myself to be a little intimidated by the budget and the history of the franchise, and I don't think I attempted enough to be original".[24] The following year he appeared in the romantic drama film This Beautiful Fantastic (2016), directed and written by Simon Aboud.[25]
