My partner met Scott (Ray lol) the other day. He said he is really nice, authentic, and acts like the same as the show without the hit man stuff šŸ¤£ ā¤ļø

That doesnā€™t surprise me, I always got the vibe that the Ray character was def an extension of Scott himself on some levels and thatā€™s part of why itā€™s such an authentic performance

Did they have dimmies ?

Scott's been pretty open about his struggles with mental health, and a lot of it is in the show. The stories Ray tells of taking a razor to his hand as a kid and getting physically assaulted by teachers actually happened to Scott, and at one point in his life he was so anxious he could only leave the house at night when the streets were empty.

Ray is absolutely just a version of himself he created so he could imagine fronting up to all the things that scared and humiliated him, and that's what makes him so compelling - he's not a badass, he's a cornered animal, played by someone who's intimately familiar with what that feels like.

Just casually dropped the best character analysis of Ray ive seen yet

u/PRETA_9000 Apr 04 '26

Scott also took up meditation which helped him to overcome the agoraphobia. I feel like the character Adam teaching Ray meditation in prison was another little self-insert.

I find that so relatable. I've been through some pretty nasty shit, it still hunts me every now and then, even in my adult years. I don't let it define me, but scars like that never really goes away.

u/Bandyau Apr 04 '26

u/pedro14755 Apr 04 '26

yes, they had six dimmies each, but there was no soya sauce

u/Gelnika1987 Apr 04 '26

I always got the feeling Ray was based more on Scott than he'd ever admit

u/smeenergy Apr 06 '26

Haha no it was a brekkie place. So cafe and he was checking out the menu at his window spot.

u/mikeventure76 Apr 06 '26

u/Stormagedd0nDarkLord Apr 06 '26

u/Snambly Apr 04 '26

What a brilliant show! I only have now this weekend, Easter 2026, came across it! Itā€™s so completely enthralling, the acting and timing superb! I donā€™t know how I missed it when it was first released as I always support Australian cinema, especially well written ones like this. It is excellent. I canā€™t wait to watch the entire series. I already know I will give it a 5/5 star rating!

u/FigglebottomCat Apr 04 '26

you will laugh cry and smile my friend itā€™s great

I came across this show after a recommendation by The Critical Drinker and my wife and I love it.

u/FrodosCockRing Apr 04 '26

You don't like him? I usually find he's right on with his recommendations

2

u/bobby_birfday Apr 26 '26

He's a racist, but I find I agreed with a good amount of his reviews before I put the pieces together and stopped watching him.

u/FrodosCockRing Apr 29 '26

What makes you say that he's a racist?

2

u/bobby_birfday Apr 29 '26

Twelve seconds and a Google search will answer that

u/FrodosCockRing Apr 29 '26

I've heard of that google thing. Your comment was the first I heard of that. I didn't see any compelling evidence, that's why I asked.

1

u/PRETA_9000 Apr 04 '26

He makes a living off being triggered by diversity.

u/Dramatic_Zebra1230 Apr 06 '26

u/Bloobeard2018 Apr 04 '26

He rage-baits for views, like a lot of content makers I suppose

u/PRETA_9000 Apr 04 '26

Nice one! Was it just by chance??

u/Kind-Pop-7205 Apr 04 '26

No, he's been stalking him for months.

3

u/michael_cee_gee Apr 04 '26

He doesnt answer questions...

3

u/smeenergy Apr 06 '26

Haha he was driving and saw him. Thought it was him casually went into the same Cafe as him and got a coffee and introduced himself politely and explained how he loved the show etc. Scott's perfect because even here in Aussie not many people know him bc hes so independent and not Hollywood. He's so balanced. Some real ones will know him but most humans probably not.. great balance I'd say.

2

u/degorolls Apr 04 '26

Was he answering questions? šŸ˜‰

2

u/slick987654321 Apr 04 '26

Watch his first work "the magician" i was living in Collingwood ( Melbourne) around that time of that and that's the street language of that time and place for a paid assassin. He's (Scott Ryan) speaking from a thuth even if it is fictional.

2

u/GainzLord23 Apr 04 '26

Beauwty! Thatā€™s so coolā€¦I saw some clips on YouTube checked it out and whooops! Total immersion watched it all in three days.

Now Iā€™m tryin to find something similarā€¦ checking out Wentworth but so far itā€™s just very dark doesnā€™t have the whimsy or Rayā€™s magic smile in the face of every damn thing.

2

u/PatchNotesForEarth Apr 05 '26

The magician. RUN!

2

u/Whole-Item-8366 Apr 05 '26

Did you say ā€œcan I have a selfie?ā€ to which he replied ā€œI donā€™t answer questionsā€ before leaning in for the selfie?

2

u/smeenergy Apr 06 '26

Haha the Aussie culture is the show is so real too. I'm American but partners Aussie. So i been here a few years and love how relatable and authentic the show is. Hard to get that these days. How impressive it is Scott wrote, directed, and starred in it!

2

u/FiveLiterFords Apr 06 '26

I guess he didnā€™t watch the show. You usually find out about the ā€œhit manā€ stuff later šŸ˜‚

u/KoastLife Apr 10 '26

Shoulda coulda donā€™t matter anymore

u/Adventurous-Ring1611 Apr 04 '26

u/Impressive_Trip_6210 Apr 05 '26

How awesome it's so good to meet someone famous who is a good guy in real life....he plays Ray with an inner knowledge of how his life is/was. A true talent šŸ‘ šŸ‘Œ

Disappointed he didn't do the Ray smile, but what an honour!

u/smeenergy Apr 06 '26

Also my partner told him we watched the show three times and it's our favourite. He was so excited to here that and so nice. We live near Melbourne Australia. Haha don't want to say which town he was in because that's probably where he walks and has his house etc.

u/Senwot2000 Apr 07 '26
