At John Jay High School, Scott appeared in various plays and theatrical productions. He graduated from Lawrence University, Wisconsin in 1983, with a degree in Theatre and Performing Arts. He then went on to study acting further with coaches such as Stella Adler and Geraldine Page. His first screen role came in 1987, playing a policeman in “Five Corners”, a crime drama starring Tim Robbins and Jodie Foster, the base of his net worth.
In 1990, Scott secured the lead role in “Longtime Companion”, a film which dealt with the beginnings of the HIV/AIDS epidemic in America. A steady stream of acting work followed, with Scott appearing alongside such major stars as Julia Roberts and Bridget Fonda. In 1996, he co-directed the movie “Big Night”, with Stanley Tucci, which starred Minnie Driver and Isabella Rossellini, which was a critical and financial success, and was nominated, though did not win, “Grand Jury Prize” at the Sundance Film Festival, but later won the “New York Film Critics Circle Award”. In 2005, Scott appeared in the horror movie “The Exorcism of Emily Rose”. His more recent film work includes roles in films such as “The Amazing Spiderman” as Richard Parker, and in the sequel to that movie, all contributing to his net worth.
Scott has lent his voice to audiobook productions too, including Stephen King’s novels “Cell” and “The Shining”. His voiceover work has also featured in television advertisements, including for the ice cream company Haagden Dazs, and in documentaries including “No End in Sight”, which discussed the effects of the American occupation of Iraq. Scott has various Broadway, and off-Broadway credits, stretching back to 1982’s “The Queen and the Rebels”, in which he appeared as a soldier. For 2009’s “The Atheist”, he was nominated for the “Drama Desk Award Outstanding Solo Performance”. In 2016, he did three months starring in the comedy “Noises Off”. All these off-stage roles must have contributed significantly to his wealth.
