4.  Is this Dougray Scott's official website?

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.

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

In a 1997 interview with Dougray, it was reported that his next film would be "The Acid House"

  assumption or inserted it himself.  source: Daily Record

  committed to "Soldier, Soldier". He quit after one series."  source: Edinburgh News
