Scott appeared in the small part of Michael Bodkin in the film "Nora", with Ewan McGregor, and in a television adaptation of Henry James's "The American", alongside Diana Rigg and Matthew Modine, before making his London theatre debut in Conor McPherson's "Dublin Carol" with Brian Cox at the Royal Court Theatre.
