In Honor of His First Screen Actors Guild Nomination, Here Are 21 Photos of Andrew Scott, a.k.a. Hot Priest from

This is Andrew Scott. He's an Irish actor who's having a bit of a moment because of a <a href="https://people.com/tv/10-best-tv-shows-2019/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" data-ylk="slk:not-so-little show called Fleabag;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas" class="link ">not-so-little show called <em>Fleabag</em></a>.

He plays a "cool, swear-y priest" on the show (which notoriously does not name most of its characters), and has affectionately become known as the "Hot Priest."

Fleabag, played by Phoebe Waller-Bridge, ends up with a bit of a dilemma on her hands: She's wildly attracted to the Hot Priest. Aren't we all?

When the Hot Priest Invites Fleabag for Tea

Loves them!

And sure, smoking kills, but who knew a man of the cloth could look <em>this </em>good smoking a cigarette?

Or wearing a blue shirt while gesturing like this?

And Then Plays with Fleabag's Guinea Pig, Hilary, in the Cutest Way

When He Finally Accepts What We All Knew Was Inevitable

Their Final Moment at the Bus Stop

Waller-Bridge, who also created the show, has said definitively that there <a href="https://people.com/tv/phoebe-waller-bridge-teases-fleabag-season-3/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" data-ylk="slk:will not be another season;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas" class="link ">will not be another season</a>. So now we are left staring at photos of Andrew Scott in plain clothes ...

Looking charming as ever.

Here, quick! Pretend he's laughing at something witty you just said!

Or really concentrating on a <em>fascinating </em>story you're telling him.

Scott is so much more than just the Hot Priest. He has appeared in series like <em>Sherlock</em>, had a small role in the Golden Globe-nominated <em>1917 </em>and is currently filming <em>Ripley</em>, a series on Showtime.

He also stars in classics* such as 'Wow, You Look Great in That Tux!'

And 'Oh, Look! Another Tux That You Look Great In!'

And 'Wow, You Could Wear a Tux 24/7 and We Wouldn't Mind!' *All of which are very made-up shows that we think someone needs to write and cast Scott in.

On a more serious note, Scott's nuanced performance in <em>Fleabag</em> is touching and authentic, and after not being nominated for an individual Emmy Award (the <a href="https://people.com/tv/2019-emmy-awards-outstanding-comedy-series-fleabag/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" data-ylk="slk:show itself walked away with three;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas" class="link ">show itself walked away with three</a>!) <em>or </em>a Golden Globe, it's time he gets a bit of recognition.

And so we're praying that the Hot Priest walks away with the SAG Award for outstanding performance by a male actor in a comedy series.

Say it with me: Amen.

If loving the Hot Priest is wrong, we don't want to be right
