Born and raised in a small town in Massachusetts, Scott grew up reading spy novels and watching old movies on VHS.
Getting his BFA in theatre led to broadcasting and a stint as a top 40 DJ in Danbury CT.
The sense of story and ear for dialogue that he developed as a young actor stayed with him, and soon he was writing screenplays in the DJ booth and in all of his spare time. A complete outsider in the industry, he moved to New York and started working in talent management. His plan to learn the business from the inside paid off and he began to see some early scripts get optioned - though rarely produced. He transitioned to working in film, usually as an AD or in locations. He also worked in production management during the height of reality television often at MTV and Vh-1.
Still writing passionately, he founded Badlands Theatre company which produced several of his original stage plays as well as work by other playwrights.
He has had several scripts optioned, written works for hire and excels at adaptations. His themes often revolve around outsiders looking for a way in - contemporary, suspenseful stories about a disenfranchised generation making questionable choices.
Badland's production of Scott's original play, ScreenPlay won Best Play and Best Production at Manhattan's Midtown International Theatre festival and moved to an Off-Broadway run the following year. As it happens, Scott was playing one of the leads in ScreenPlay and saw an almost forgotten dream come true - his professional NYC acting debut.
Scott had the honor of collaborating with novelist Kevin Baker on the adaptation of his best selling novel Dreamland, which was optioned by legendary film producer Irwin Winkler. Dreamland is a beautiful and epic tale of the events leading up to the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire of 1911.
Scott's most recent project, Reality Sets In - an original comedy web series about being a newly single New Yorker at 40 - has completed post production on season one.
He is an avid reader and proud father.
