Early life

[edit]

Scott was born on July 19, 1961, in New York City,[1] the son of actor George C. Scott and actress Colleen Dewhurst.[2] He graduated from John Jay High School with friend Stanley Tucci[3] before graduating from Lawrence University in 1983.[4] His brother is Alexander Scott.[2][5] One of his paternal half-sisters is actress Devon Scott.[6]

Career

[edit]
Scott at the 2009 Tribeca Film Festival

Scott's first film appearance was in the 1987 movie Five Corners,[7] as a policeman. In 1990, Scott played a lead role in the ground-breaking film Longtime Companion, which chronicles the early years of the AIDS/HIV epidemic and its impact upon a group of American friends.[8] In the following year he appeared briefly in Kenneth Branagh-directed, Dead Again, and co-starred in the movie Dying Young (in which his mother also appeared) alongside Julia Roberts.[9] He also appeared in the 1992 Cameron Crowe movie Singles alongside Bridget Fonda and Kyra Sedgwick,[10] and in 1996, he teamed up with Stanley Tucci to direct the film Big Night. The film met with critical acclaim and was nominated for the Grand Jury Prize at the Sundance Film Festival. For their work, Scott and Tucci won both the New York Film Critics Circle Award[11] and the Boston Society of Film Critics Award for Best New Director.[11]

In 2002, he was awarded the Best Actor prize from the National Board of Review for his performance in Roger Dodger.[12] Scott starred in Six Degrees on ABC in 2006.[13]

In 2004, he starred alongside Adam Butcher, in Saint Ralph.[14]

In 2005–2006, Scott served as the reader for the audiobook versions of Stephen King's bestsellers The Shining[15] and Cell, and for Ernest Hemingway's For Whom the Bell Tolls.[16]

In 2007, Scott lent his voice for the narration of a Chevron Corporation television ad,[17] as well as the Iraq War documentary film, No End in Sight. He also appeared in the romantic comedy Music and Lyrics, starring Hugh Grant and Drew Barrymore. Next up for Scott was the 2009 drama Handsome Harry. Scott also had a recurring role on the USA drama Royal Pains, as Boris Kuester von Jurgens-Ratenicz.

From 2009 to 2010, Scott had a recurring role in the third season of Damages, playing Joe Tobin, the son of indicted Bernie Madoff-like Louis Tobin (Len Cariou).[18]

In 2010, Scott provided the voice-over for a new Häagen-Dazs TV commercial called "Ode to Flavor".[19] The ad was created by Goodby, Silverstein & Partners, directed by Noah Marshall with art direction by Croix Cagnon.[20] He played the role of Richard Parker, the father of Peter Parker, in the 2012 film The Amazing Spider-Man. Scott reprised his role in the 2014 film The Amazing Spider-Man 2. From 2015 to 2016, Scott appeared as Lloyd Dallas in the Broadway revival of Noises Off. In 2017, he collaborated with Dutch DJ and producer Ferry Corsten on Blueprint, an album combining Trance music and science fiction, in which he can be heard as the story's narrator.[21] In 2019 Scott portrayed the lead role of Ebenezer Scrooge in a Broadway adaptation of Charles Dickens's A Christmas Carol written by Jack Thorne and directed by Matthew Warchus.[22]

Scott plays Dr. Lewis Dodgson (replacing Cameron Thor) in Jurassic World Dominion (2022), the sixth film in the Jurassic Park franchise.

Personal life

[edit]

Scott has been married twice.

Scott met his current wife Kathleen McElfresh, in 2007 when the two were working on separate plays at the Huntington Theater, in Boston. Scott was working on The Atheist, while McElfresh was working on Brenden.[23]

Scott has three sons. He lives with his family in northwest Connecticut.[5][better source needed]
