Actors:
"Be the Driver of Your Career not the Passenger!
Conventional 'wisdom', passed down through generations, of how to move forward in the 'business' is a MYTH, OLD, and WORN OUT! It only leaves you, the actor, in the DARK!"
So, what's the big mystery about getting into film and television? Well, there is NO mystery.
I de-mystify the 'business', move you from mystery and hope to create your own path, design a clear plan, act on it and keep structures in place to stay on track.
As director for stage and television, Scott has worked with thousands of actors including Ryan Phillippe, Bruce Davison, Jean Smart, Warren Beatty, Annette Bening, Dan Ackroyd, Ed Asner, Holland Taylor and Bill Macy.
