Always Great: From Speak No Evil to Nightbitch, Scoot McNairy’s Big Moment Has Been Long Overdue

In Always Great, Awards Insider speaks with Hollywood’s greatest undersung actors in career-spanning conversations. In this installment, Scoot McNairy reflects on the road to what might be his biggest year in movies yet, from helping lead the horror hit Speak No Evil to taking on a small but pivotal role in the upcoming A Complete Unknown.

This is a big, big year.” Scoot McNairy has just returned home from his first screening of A Complete Unknown (in theaters on Christmas), the Bob Dylan biopic led by Timothée Chalamet and the fourth and—presumably—final film starring McNairy to hit theaters in 2024. McNairy plays Dylan’s mentor Woody Guthrie, who’s battling Huntington’s disease in his final years. “The movie’s so good, Timmy’s so good, Ed Norton is so good,” McNairy says over Zoom from his sunny backyard, unable to contain a boyish grin. “I was just driving home, like, I’m so glad that I’m a part of the Bob Dylan story. Twenty-five years ago, I never would’ve thought that possible in a million years.”
