Eva Stratt is the GOAT, scape even…

I felt in my pocket for the scrap of paper. It belonged to Jean de Gué, yet it was also mine. Mine too the image of the drugged woman on her pillow. Jean de Gué’s mother had smiled when I took away her pain, but I had not carried it far; I had left it with his child instead.

"Must be hard having to ask everybody to... you know."

Actually, it isn't.

"Parliament was the King's partner, but subordinate to him, as a wife is to her husband...In return for his kindness, Parliament, like a good wife, should serve him as an obedient helpmeet, not waste time quibbling about its rights and privileges...Most importantly, it was to keep the King supplied with money. Like a husband calling for his dinner, 'the King is to open himself in his wants', and like a good wife hurrying to set her man's favourite dish on the table, 'the people' (represented by Parliament) were to supply those wants. It is worth recalling at this point that Queen Anne had chosen to live apart from her husband."

Film: Andrew Scott in The Scapegoat (2012)

Genuinely can watch this one again and again. It does have some peril that will make your tummy hurt as you’re fully rooting for these people; however, no spoilers but it does work itself out in the end. As Esther Perel, whom Andrew calls a modern day philosopher and his hero, said about Heated Rivalry, once you’ve watched it through and you know how it works out, rewatching it is like stroking a teddy bear. A comforting experience.

From Sphere-Abacus, “Set in 1952, as England prepares for the Coronation, The Scapegoat tells the provocative story of two very different men who have one thing in common - a face.”

Andrew plays Paul, the bullied and belittled, but extremely capable, brother of the main character. I love his plot arc as he is gradually loved on while the movie progresses.

Here are some stills. Andrew, gorgeous as per usual.

And a short scene from the movie. Since I can only upload one video, I chose the scene where Paul eats some sort of porridge, since we all know Andrew hates foods like that. I just know he was suffering lol

Enjoy this movie free on Tubi or on Amazon Prime (as of March 29, 2026).

Other works Andrew did in 2011 were: Filmed early in the year for BBC’s show The Hour (also set in the ‘50s) alongside Ben Wishaw, then starred in the play Emperor and Galilean at the National Theatre in London from June 9, 2011, to August 10, 2011, and finally, filmed The Scapegoat starting in November 2011.
