NEW YORK, July 21 (UPI) -- An American Werewolf in Paris, 13 Reasons Why and The Summer I Turned Pretty actor Tom Everett Scott says his character Wyatt Woods has a close relationship with his titular daughter in Elle -- even if he doesn't always understand her.
The Legally Blonde prequel is now streaming on Prime Video. It follows bubbly Bel-Air native Elle Woods (Lexi Minetree) to her new high school in grungy 1990s Seattle.
"He is a fun, kind of out-of-touch dad. He's a plastic surgeon. He is a sweetheart," Scott, 55, told UPI in a recent Zoom interview.
"He's a little superficial in the beginning," Scott added. "We'll get into it more as the series goes on. But it was just really fun to play and they wrote a lot of great stuff. There's a lot of great comedy. There's a lot of great moments between the two parents and playing with Lexi and the fun that we got to have, on and off set, has just been such a joy."
