Adam Scott Replaced Bradley Cooper in This Absurd Netflix Comedy Series
To work around Bradley Cooper’s busy schedule, Adam Scott was recast as Ben in Netflix’s Wet Hot American Summer: Ten Years Later.
David Wain’s 2001 film Wet Hot American Summer is a cult classic that is especially cherished because of the relationship between McKinley (Michael Ian Black) and Ben (Bradley Cooper). Although their relationship is a small part of the ensemble film, it was important to many viewers because of the genuine intimacy between the characters, a quality that is still rare in comedy films today. By the time Wain and screenwriter Michael Showalter created the follow-up shows Wet Hot American Summer: First Day of Camp and Wet Hot American Summer: Ten Years Later for Netflix, they faced a dilemma: Ben was an important character for the franchise's most passionate fans. But, Cooper had recently received an Academy Award nomination for Silver Linings Playbook, in addition to joining the MCU as Rocket Raccoon. He was a certified A-lister with a very busy schedule.
