The Guardian -When Adam Scott was working on the hit TV show Parks and Recreation in the early 2010s, the Los Angeles studio where the show was filmed was packed – “every stage was filled and working”.
These days, he told his former co-star Rob Lowe in a much-discussed recent podcast conversation, “it’s quiet over there” – in part because “it’s just too expensive to shoot here”.
“Nothing shoots in Los Angeles,” Scott said.
“Nothing!” Lowe replied.

And this year, both actors are scheduled to shoot projects in Ireland – Scott for a horror film with an Irish director, but Lowe as the host of an American game show with American contestants.

“It’s cheaper to bring 100 American people to Ireland than to walk across the lot at Fox, past the sound stages, and do it there,” Lowe sai
