Andrew Scott discusses how he tackled Tom Ripley's sexuality in the new Netflix series, “Ripley.”
“My feeling is that he's a queer character in the sense that he's very other.”
The drama is an adaptation of Patricia Highsmith’s bestselling Tom Ripley novels.
Tom Ripley, a grifter scraping by in early 1960s New York, is hired by a wealthy man to travel to Italy to try to convince his vagabond son to return home. Tom's acceptance of the job is the first step into a complex life of deceit, fraud and murder.
