Early Life
After nine years in San Diego with his parents Mark and Ann, and sisters Jenny (born July 14, 1981) and Sara (born October 30, 1984), Michael Scott was uprooted due to his father's advancing career as a mechanical engineer for North American aluminum giant Alcoa (AA). He and his family moved in 1996 to Littleton, Colorado, where Michael Scott would spend the next seven years studying theatre arts and the humanities at Denver's esteemed Colorado Academy. At the Academy, while working under the likes of Stephen Scherer and Ángel Vígil, Michael Scott discovered what would become a lifelong passion for acting through his portrayal of Mr. Beaver in a stage adaptation of C.S. Lewis' classic "The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe." Michael Scott's time in Colorado ended abruptly in 2003 when he and his parents left for Rochester, New York, where his father assumed the position of Director of Operations for MKS Instruments (MKSI), an international medical supplier.
Career
Michael Scott's work in the film industry began while he was studying fiction writing and stage performance at the New School in Greenwich Village, New York. In addition to his studies under the New School's world-class faculty, particularly Emmy-winning television writer Mort Scharfman and novelist Jan Clausen, Michael Scott began his first foray into the film arena as assistant producer on Geoff Mallinson's inspiring new documentary about the Betel rehabilitation network. Michael Scott also co-produced Amy Goodman's upcoming documentary on the Chelsea-Elliot "I Have a Dream" Program. His debut novel Tic, set to be released in the summer of 2008, has been delayed due to a contract dispute with his publisher Penguin Group (USA).
