His name is pronounced Doo-gray. Dougray has stated in interviews
that there was already a Stephen Scott registered in Equity (the British
equivalent of the Screen Actors Guild) so he adopted his French
Grandmother's surname of Dougray. (See

6. How
can I meet Mr. Scott in person?
The simplest way to meet Mr. Scott would be to attend a
premiere of one of his films in which he is expected to attend or to
attend one of his plays. Note that at a film premiere, the only way
you can "meet" Mr. Scott is to stand in the designated fan or
spectator area and wait for him to approach his fans. At a theater,
it may be possible to meet him after a play. In either of these
cases, I strongly encourage you to read the Fan
Etiquette page for more details on how to properly meet Mr. Scott
should the opportunity arise.

7. Does
Dougray have a computer and email address?
Dougray did mention once that he had a computer but it was stolen while he
was in Australia filming M:I-2. I have no idea if he has purchased a
new one, nor if he has an email address. I think it would be safe to
say, that if he does have an email address, he would keep that private for
obvious reasons.

10. What
are Mr. Scott's future projects? (10/22/06)
For the most up-to-date projects,
please go to the CV (roles) page.
Mr. Scott revealed in an interview
with the Sunday Times (08/12/01) that he has agreed to play Dylan Thomas
in a biopic, Map of Love which is scheduled to be filmed
in Swansea, Wales once funding has been completed. Click here
for the complete interview.
The
Scotsman (07/14/01) alluded to a new movie that Dougray was filming
which later turned out to be identified as "The Football
Factory". Little is known about this film at present.
However we do have several photographs
of Dougray taken with 2 extras, thanks to Vernon who was one of the two.
Various UK press outlets
reported that Mr. Scott was tipped to play the role of "Preacher".
This turned out to be strictly rumor. (Thank heaven!)
The Sunday Mail (Apr. 15,
2001) reported that Mr. Scott will play the lead in "Close
Quarters", a film about the true-life WWI soldier, Patrick
Fowler, who avoided capture by the Germans by hiding out in a cupboard for
almost four years. Filming was scheduled to begin in September 2001
in France and UK.
[Ed. Note: This seems to be a
rumor as no other information has been released since April 2001.]
It has also been reported that
Mr. Scott will play Scottish poet and writer, Robert Burns in "The Red
Rose". Although the producers are
very interested in Dougray for this role, nothing has yet been finalized.
It was rumored that Mr.
Scott would appear in a project about Keith Moon, the WHO rock star.
This is only a rumor and Mr. Scott confirmed that he has not even been
approached about it.

Dougray Scott withdrew from Mick Jagger's film project, "The
Map of Love". He had these comments on the matter, "I was going to do
it, but they took so long to geth their act together, I sort of fell out
with the director and his ideas. I lost my trust in it. I had
done a lot of work on it but they did not really get it together in the
time I had." source:
ic Wales interview

he never proceeded with the project. source: Entertainment
Asylum
In a 1997 interview with Dougray, it was reported that his next film would
be "The

assumption or inserted it
himself. source: Daily

Dougray has a very brief (blink and you'll miss it) appearance in
"Black Beauty" as a street
vendor.
A lot of Dougray's scenes in "Deep Impact" as Eric Vennekor (the
cameraman) ended up on
the cutting room floor. The script intended
his character to be the love interest for Téa
Leoni's character, Jenny
Lerner. Unfortunately, for whatever reason, the scenes were cut.
