Scott expressed his interest to shift from comedic roles into more serious roles and portrayed Ted Morgan in the comedy-drama film, "Just Before I Go" (2015). "It was rewarding to play pretty much the antithesis of what I've done in the past. To get a chance to play a totally different character—because he's just a good, average, relatable guy going through obviously an awful moment in his life—was great," Scott told "Variety". He reprised his roles as Crash in ' (2016) and as Doug 'The Thug' Glatt in ' (2017). Scott made a cameo appearance as a Vermont State Trooper in the 2018 film sequel, "Super Troopers 2."
