Biography

  • Scott Alan Ward studied Philosophy at the University of Kansas, worked in psychological operations, practiced as a Deputy Public Defender, and spent two decades as a corporate executive working across four continents before retiring early to train as an actor under Michelle Meyrink at Actorium.

    He is a character actor. He plays men with weight, grief, violence, long-held secrets, decisions fully committed to. He also plays men who are lonely, comic, or quietly gleeful about things they probably shouldn't be. The range is the point.

    When the camera rolls, the world outside the scene disappears. The characters don't leave when the shoot ends. He considers that a fair trade.

    He is based in the Pacific Northwest but will travel both domestically and internationally.

Trivia

  • Once had an accidental encounter with philosopher A.J. Ayer that left a lasting impression.
  • Is also a writer and producer with equity stakes in independent film projects he believes in enough to build, not just appear in.
  • Filmed scenes for Irish Ashes in and around Birmingham, UK - including a gentleman's club that served as a location for Tom Hardy's Bronson.
  • Graduated high school with a 1.7 GPA, 30 unexcused absences his senior year, and one credit short of the minimum requirements. The school made an exception. They just wanted him gone. Years later scored a 46 on the Wonderlic cognitive test, where the average is 20 and the ceiling is 50.
