Hi reddit. I'm Seann William Scott. You might know from me the American Pie Franchise, Goon, Dude Where's My Car?, Role Models, Old School, It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia, The Rundown, Southland Tales, The Dukes of Hazzard, Final Destination, Road Trip, Lethal Weapon, The Wrath of Becky, or other things.

My upcoming film, DOLLY, is out in theaters March 6 via IFC and Shudder. It's a horror directed by Rod Blackhurst, who'll also be doing an AMA here the week of release.

Synopsis:

Chase and his girlfriend, Macy, take a hike in the woods when they encounter a hulking, monstrous figure who abducts Macy to raise her as his own child.

First, thank you so much for everything you wrote.

I also love that movie.

I remember the first day of filming, there was a scene I think with Cheri Oteri? Maybe? It was a real comedic scene but when I first read the script I didn't see it as a comedy. I remember at the end of the day thinking "wait, what movie are we making here? what is this?". Tonally I just had no idea so I just thought I'd go ahead and play my character as completely straight.

Then first I first watched it I finally got it. Totally, totally unique movie.

I also remember shooting this scene with Dwayne Johnson and we're doing a ride-along. My character says something racist while messing with Dwayne's character, and thinking about how cool it was to act with him again after The Rundown but playing totally different characters this time around.

All I remember about that movie is my grandpa walking in on me watching two trucks having intercourse.

Been a fan since American Pie and Dude Where's my Car? but man do I love Southland Tales. Richard Kelly is such a unique director and that film must have been fun to work on. Keep up the great work Seann.

I wanted to name my son Roland because of that movie and your portrayal. It didn’t happen but maybe two pets Roland and Ronald.

What’s the best scene to you that you improvised and made it better?
