Early Life
Scott was born Stephen Scott in Glenrothes, Fife, Scotland, the son of Elma, a nurse, and Alan Scott, an actor and salesperson. He attended Auchmuty High School. Adapting his stage name from his French grandmother's surname, Dougray, he enrolled in a foundation course in drama before going on to attend the Royal Welsh College of Music & Drama in Cardiff from 1984 to 1987; here, he earned the college's Most Promising Drama Student award. In 1988 he moved to London Bridge and was living with Eddie Dove and Alan Avis; Eddie went on to a glittering career as a jazz musician while Alan can still be found manning the cloakroom at The National Theatre..

Famous quotes related to early life:
“Many a woman shudders ... at the terrible eclipse of those intellectual powers which in early life seemed prophetic of usefulness and happiness, hence the army of martyrs among our married and unmarried women who, not having cultivated a taste for science, art or literature, form a corps of nervous patients who make fortunes for agreeable physicians ...”
—Sarah M. Grimke (1792–1873)
