Ben Stiller designed Adam Scott’s significant hairstyle in "Severance."

In the second season of the show "Severance," Adam Scott's character, Mark S, has a notable hairstyle that many fans love. This look is linked to Ben Stiller, who directed the series. Stiller had a clear vision for how he wanted Mark's hair to appear throughout the show. Scott recently shared his thoughts about his character's appearance during an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel's talk show. He mentioned the flashback scenes in episode 7, where Mark appears younger and in love. Scott noted that although these scenes show Mark in the past, he is actually the same age as he is in the present. Kimmel humorously pointed out that Scott might even be older in those flashbacks. Scott explained that the change in his look is all about the haircut. He emphasized that it was not just any haircut, but one that reflected Stiller's specific ideas. Overall, the hairdo has become iconic, showing how a simple change can reshape a character's image and how important creative direction is in the entertainment industry.
