Darin Scott(V)

Darin Scott is an American actor, writer, and director of English, Scottish, and German decent, born in the small town of Vernal, Utah. Most of his childhood and adolescence (12 years) was spent in Vancouver, Washington. A month before Scott's seventeenth birthday, his father died of a heart attack. As the youngest and last of five children in the home, Scott became the man of the house.

The school stage is where Scott's passion for acting began but he was also very into sports. After playing college football at Brigham Young University-Idaho, Scott finished his BA at the University of Utah. His football days led to his first acting role in the Disney film "Going To The Mat," working with Khleo Thomas as the football jock, "Yardley". The following year, Scott booked another role in Disney's "Halloweentown High," where he worked with Academy Award Nominated, Debbie Reynolds, as well as Teen Choice Nominated, Lucas Grabeel. Scott read for the role of Wylie in Disney's "Buffalo Dreams" and had the director all but convinced until he was asked his age (being 25 at the time). Though Scott is typically cast in younger roles, in this case, the director took Scott's age a bit too literally. Scott took a few roles in independent films and then landed a lead role in Discovery Channel's "I Shouldn't Be Alive."

In spite of his brewing film success, with a young family, Scott relocated to California to pursue a law degree. Shortly after moving, he booked a role in "127 Hours" where he worked with Golden Globe Winner (and Academy Award Nominated), James Franco. Although the role turned out to be smaller than anticipated, as the entire wedding scene was cut from the final edit, it did steer Scott from law school. He withdrew after one semester to attend Playhouse West Acting School in North Hollywood. While studying there, he booked roles in a number of films, including the title role of the mountain man scout Ephraim Hanks in "Ephraim's Rescue," where he showed his ability to carry a film. Later, Scott was also direct-cast as a younger character version of Emmy-Nominated, John Heard, in "Counting For Thunder." Not letting his law background go to waste, Scott followed by landing a supporting role as the lead Defense Attorney in "Just Let Go," where he worked opposite Emmy-Nominated Henry Ian Cusick and Sam Sorbo (Jenkins). Scott continued his success working opposite Teen Choice Winner, Josh Lucas, in Kevin Costner's acclaimed, Emmy-Nominated and Golden Globe winning series, "Yellowstone".

Scott is also the writer and director of over 30 commercials and short films, including the third all-time highest crowdfunded short film on Kickstarter in 2017, "Reign of Judges: Title of Liberty." In late 2021, Scott made his feature directorial debut, writing, directing, and starring in "The Oath," based on his award-winning short film, "Reign of Judges: Title of Liberty," also starring Billy Zane, Karina Lombard, and Eugene Brave Rock. "The Oath" is set to release in theaters in 2023.
