Full Length Bio

When he was 4 years old, Scott's famous "hair streak" appeared virtually overnight.
Scott attended Kirkwood High School in St.Louis, Missouri. After high school Scott, attended a small college near St. Louis, taking business and pre-law. While at college, Scott got involved with a summer theater programme, and in 1973 he performed in his first play - Godspell. He caught the acting bug and soon changed his major to theater studies.

Scott travelled to New York in 1976 and was hired for a dinner theater tour of Shenandoah; his first professional acting job. Next came his first Broadway show, Marilyn: An American Fable (1983).
In the late 1970's and early 1980's, Scott guested on several TV shows and worked on a couple of soaps. However, landing Quantum Leap in 1985 made Scott a household name.
