    Scott Michael Schumacher

Mini bio

  • Grew up in the Chicago suburb of Rolling Meadows. Scott studied Theater at Chicagos Columbia College. He pursued a career as a singer with the band Main Street prior to beginning his theater career. After performances in such shows as "Death Trap", "Showboat" and "Follies", Scott starred as Sweeney Todd in the show of the same name, for which he received the coveted Joseph Jefferson Award (the Chicago equivalent of the Tony). He has continued to appear star in stage productions, most recently as Karenin in the Midwest premier of the musical version of "Anna Karenina".

He has also appeared on the series "Midnight Caller" (which starred his high school buddy, Gary Cole) and in TV commercials.

Trivia

  • His appearance in "When Love Calls" is a bit of an in-joke, as he is the one takes long-time friend Cole to be executed.
  • He was nominated for a 1987 Joseph Jefferson Award for Actor in a Principal Role in a Musical for "Sweeney Todd" at the Apple Tree Theatre in Chicago, Illinois.
