Long on the stage, Scott first appeared on stage in the U.S. at Paterson, New Jersey[1] and later appeared in the companies of Mrs. Fiske, Lotta Crabtree and Richard Mansfield. In 1900 he appeared in The Casino Girl and was in musicals with De Wolf Hopper.[2] He entered silent films in 1913, appearing in Augustus Thomas's film adaptation of his play Arizona.[3] He appeared in only a handful of movies before his last in 1932. He was a member of both the Lambs and Players Clubs.[4]
