Early Life
Scott, the youngest of seven children, was born in Cottage Grove, Minnesota, the son of Patricia Anne (née Simons), a homemaker, and William Frank Scott, a factory worker. His eldest brother, Daniel, while at the University of Wisconsin–Madison, helped found The Onion, and was among the earliest writers for it. He was inspired to become an actor while working at the local movie theater and seeing all the movies he could watch free.

Famous quotes containing the words early and/or life:
“I believe that if we are to survive as a planet, we must teach this next generation to handle their own conflicts assertively and nonviolently. If in their early years our children learn to listen to all sides of the story, use their heads and then their mouths, and come up with a plan and share, then, when they become our leaders, and some of them will, they will have the tools to handle global problems and conflict.”
—Barbara Coloroso (20th century)
“If you are lucky enough to have lived in Paris as a young man, then wherever you go for the rest of your life it stays with you, for Paris is a moveable feast.”
—Ernest Hemingway (1899–1961)
