Scotty Morrow was born in Los Angeles, California, as the product of a show business family. His older brother, Brad Morrow, was an original Disney Mousketeer with an accomplished acting resume. Scott's acting debut occurred at the age of four in a TV commercial for "One A Day" vitamins, leading to a couple of other commercials and guest appearances on television variety shows such as Red Skelton, Jack Benny, and Johnny Carson.
His very first feature role in a TV drama was The United States Steel Hour (1953) in 1955. By the time Scott's childhood acting career was over, he had been featured in over 70 television shows, ranging from comedy programs like The Donna Reed Show (1958),where he was a recurring cast member playing the role of Pee Wee, to western classics like Wagon Train (1957),Maverick (1957),Zane Grey Theatre (1956),and Gunsmoke (1955).

He had roles in beach dramas like Hawaiian Eye, Adventures in Paradise, Surfside 6 (1960),and Follow the Sun (1961).
In between his television career, Scott worked on a few big-screen projects. His first feature film for MGM was Between Heaven and Hell (1956),followed by Red Sundown (1956),which paved the way for 20th Century-Fox Pictures to cast him in the role of Joey Cross in the epic production of Peyton Place (1957). This was followed by An Affair to Remember (1957) for the same studio.
However, Peyton Place (1957) was acknowledged to be the breakthrough performance in young Scott's film career. He was then paired with George Montgomery to co-star in The Toughest Gun in Tombstone (1958). That same year, the tear-jerker family film, The Heart Is a Rebel (1958),was released featuring Scott opposite Ethel Waters. This was followed with a starring role in a sci-fi thriller, The Cosmic Man (1959).
His last major film role was playing the lead character in the family classic, The Jolly Genie (1963). After high school, Scott served in the United States Air Force as a military photographer assigned to an OSI unit and saw action in Southeast Asia during the Vietnam conflict.
After serving in the armed forces and graduating from college, Scott entered the business world. He is currently an entertainment consultant working and residing in Sherman Oaks, California.
