Past  Born in St. Andrews, Fife, Scotland, in 1965, Dougray Scott decided to become an actor at the age of 14 when he auditioned for a part in the Arthur Miller play Death Of A Salesman.  He got his first big break at the age of 31, when he appeared in the Wales-based movie, Twin Town.  Because of the delayed
scheduling of his role in Mission: Impossible 2, he was forced to withdraw from the movie X-Men.

Present  He has currently finished shooting his first lead role in the wartime thriller Enigma.  Other movies, including Cromwell and Fairfax, are in the pipeline.  When he isn't busy filming, his schedule is kept full by being the father of twins.

Hear, Hear  "I remember the first day of filming Mission: Impossible 2.  Tom Cruise jumps in the air and he comes down and smacks me right in the jaw.  I turned around and was thinking unkind thoughts about him.  Mind you, the opening climbing sequence he did is extraordinary.  Would I do that?  No.  I'm not mad like Tom is.  He's crazy."
