Although this appealing player had few professional credits when picked to star in the '60s period piece That Thing You Do!, the film's director, Tom Hanks, saw something in Scott: himself. Comparisons between the two were inevitable: They both boasted curly hair, boyish good looks and easygoing manners. However, unlike Hanks, Scott would make his biggest impression on the small screen, essaying a diverse roster of intense characters, from a manic depressive on ER to a hotshot lawyer on the short-lived Philly to a gambling paramedic on Saved. Off screen, Scott's life is much less dramatic, with kids and a stable marriage to a college classmate.
