Bio
Born and raised in Tulsa, Oklahoma, Scott wasn't a kid actor...by trade. He did all his acting at home. Scott pursued higher education in a land far, far away...in Oklahoma City. He graduated from Oklahoma City University with a Bachelor of Music in hand and lots of gumption to take on New York City. He moved on September 12, 2001. His career has taken him to places all across the USA. Some theatres of note are The Metropolitan Opera, Lyric Theatre of Oklahoma, Stages St. Louis, Theatre by the Sea, Cape Playhouse, Philadelphia Theatre Company, Merry Go Round Playhouse, Barnstormers Theatre, Media Theatre, New Bedford Festival Theatre, Florida Repertory Theatre, 11th Hour Theatre, and Florida Studio Theatre.
After taking a few years away from NYC to obtain ANOTHER degree from OCU, this time his Master of Music degree, he returned to NYC, affianced to a beautiful actress named Lindsie. He has participated in readings, workshops, showcases, and productions Off-Broadway, and even had the opportunity to star in the NY Premiere of a Jerome Kern musical, CABARET GIRL.
He can be randomly seen in the background on certain episodes of CSI, Las Vegas, or the illustrious and short lived Nick(Lachey) and Jessica(Simpson) Variety Show. And for fans of the show Damages, yes, he is Luke Richards.
Scott continues to dabble in many facets of the business, having produced and directed LOVE, LOVE, LOVE-CELEBRATING THE BEATLES at the Laurie Beechman Theatre, directed and choreographed FOREVER PLAID at Theatre by the Sea and [title of show] at The Secret Theatre in NYC. Scott also recently directed RENT at the University of Central Oklahoma AND Oklahoma City University and A YEAR WITH FROG AND TOAD at Oklahoma State University. He also directed the 2022-2023 Lyric Interactive! tour of OKLAHOMA! for Lyric Theatre of Oklahoma, the official state theater of Oklahoma.
Scott has since moved BACK to Oklahoma with his family-wife Lindsie, their son, Jed William, a rescue dog named Tallulah, and a bunny that they have named Moira Rose. He recently earned another graduate degree, this time a Master of Fine Arts in Directing from the University of Idaho. He has taught on the faculties of University of the Arts in Philadelphia, Rider University, University of Central Oklahoma, Oklahoma City University, and the University of Oklahoma, where he is currently an Assistant Professor of Musical Theatre at the Weitzenhoffer School of Musical Theatre.
