Early life Scott was born on November 19, 1977. He grew up in Clifton Park, New York. He attended La Salle Institute in Troy, New York, and Syracuse University, graduating in 2000, before moving to New York City to pursue his acting/writing career.

Career Scott began his career with roles in the off-Broadway play Cargo and several television commercials, including a Diet Coke ad set in a movie theater. In 2002, he won the lead role in the Fox pilot With You in Spirit, for which he received his Screen Actors Guild card. Scott recalls, "I remember thinking that the money from the pilot was a fortune. It wasn't. After renting a car to get around L.A., paying off some debt, and maybe buying a new pair of shoes, I was broke. I had to borrow money from my father just to join SAG."Moynihan, Rob (January 18, 2016). "How I Got My SAG-AFTRA Card", TV Guide. p. 12.

Since then he has appeared in television and film, most notably My Boys, an original series on TBS.

He also voiced Turbo in the Netflix original animated series Turbo FAST. The series is based on the 2013 film Turbo.

In June 2014, it was reported that Scott had joined the Nancy Meyers film The Intern, as a "smooth-talking, cocky young businessman." However, Scott's character is not in the final cut of the film.

In 2020, Scott played the lead role of David in the NBC drama pilot Echo which was written by JJ Bailey. He played a supporting role as Ben in the 2022 drama film Wildflower.

In November 2023, it was announced that Scott would join Law & Order as Detective Vincent Riley for season 23. He replaces former star Jeffrey Donovan, who exited the series due to creative differences.
