Career

Scott began his career with roles in the off-Broadway play Cargo and several television commercials.[

Fox pilot With You in Spirit, for which he received his Screen Actors Guild card. Scott recalls, "I remember thinking that the money from the pilot was a fortune. It wasn't. After renting a car to get around L.A., paying off some debt and maybe buying a new pair of shoes, I was broke. I had to borrow money from my father just to join SAG."[5]

Since then he has appeared in television and film, most notably

TBS. He appeared in an episode of Bones, on The Secret Life of the American Teenager as Dr. Jeff Tseguay, as Mike in Motorcity and in CSI: NY as Seth Riggin.

In June 2014, it was reported that Scott had joined the Nancy Meyers film The Intern, as a "smooth-talking, cocky young businessman."[10] However, Scott's character is not in the final cut of the film.[11]

In 2020, Scott played the lead role of David in the NBC drama pilot Echo which was written by JJ Bailey.[12] He played a supporting role as Ben in the 2022 drama film Wildflower.[13]

In November 2023, it was announced that Scott would join Law & Order as New York Detective Vincent Riley for Season 23, after replacing former star Jeffrey Donovan, who recently exited the show over creative differences.[14]
