    Character Evaluation

    Scott is like a ball full of energy, ready to inflate and explode at any time. Those dark brown eyes are dark and evil on the screen, but warm and enthusiastic in reality. His career development is rich and varied. In addition to gay and heterosexual roles, he also includes those with ambiguous sexual orientations. What is particularly valuable is that he does not avoid homosexual roles for fear of being stereotyped. ( Magazine Review)
    Scott's performance is very changeable: moody, fascinating, and full of vitality. ( )
