Scott Speedman is enjoying his next life phase: fatherhood
Photo: Pat Martin Two decades have passed since Scott Speedman put his stamp on teen television in 1998 as Ben Covington, one-third of the hotly debated Felicity love triangle, which saw a high-school wallflower following her crush across the country to NYU in a rare moment of spontaneity .
Photo: Pat Martin Finding space in his schedule is going to be hard if the last year, which I dub the “Speedmanassiance” , is anything to go by, with roles in You, Grey’s Anatomy, and forthcoming movies from David Cronenberg and Lena Dunham. “When I first started doing this, I had some big years with a lot of exciting things and a lot of momentum,” Speedman says. “Then normal career stuff dipped and flowed, and I’ve been sort of quiet for a number of years.
When I ask him to imagine a world in which social media had been around when Felicity was on, he laughs: “I would have been a mess; that would have not been good for me,” he says. “I spent some parts of my career shunning publicity. And at this age, you mature out of that a little bit.” Another film project he completed during this busy time is Lena Dunham’s forthcoming film Sharp Stick, in which he plays an “OnlyFans-style very popular famous porn star.” He shot this while he was making You and notes how helpful Dunham was when he was researching this part. The extroverted character is one that “five years ago I would have said no to or been too scared to do.
