Originally hailing from the culturally rich and vibrant San Francisco Bay Area, Scott's formative years were marked by a deep-seated passion for the performing arts. His academic pursuits took him to San Francisco State University's esteemed Theater Arts Department, where he earned honors for his outstanding academic achievements.
For over three decades, Scott has had the privilege of working on a wide range of projects, including feature films, television shows, commercials, and stage productions.
It was approximately thirty years ago, when Scott was still residing in San Francisco, that he landed his first truly professional role, a milestone that earned him the esteemed honor of being eligible for membership in the highly respected Screen Actors Guild.
This pivotal moment in Scott's career came when he was cast in the iconic 1988 film "The Dead Pool", where he played the role of an unfortunate adversary to the legendary Clint Eastwood's iconic character, Dirty Harry.
