Scott was born in Dublin in 1976, the son of Nora and Jim Scott. His mother was an art teacher, while his father worked at an employment agency.[6][7] He is the second of three children; he has an older sister, Sarah, and a younger sister, Hannah.[7] Scott was raised as a Catholic, but no longer practises.[8]
He attended Gonzaga College while taking weekend classes at Ann Kavanagh's Young People's Theatre in Rathfarnham,[9] and appeared in two ads on Irish television. At 17, Scott was chosen for a starring role in his first film Korea. He won a bursary to art school, but elected to study drama at Trinity College Dublin, leaving after six months to join Dublin's Abbey Theatre and then moving to London when he was 22.[6][10] He once stated to the London Evening Standard that he always had a "healthy obsession" with acting.[11]
Scott had a small role as Michael Bodkin in the film Nora, and another small role in a television adaptation of Henry James's The American, before making his London theatre debut in Conor McPherson's Dublin Carol at the Royal Court Theatre. He appeared briefly in the BAFTA-winning drama Longitude (2000) opposite Sir Michael Gambon, whom he called "a brilliant actor" and "the best actor in England". He also acted in Steven Spielberg's World War II miniseries Band of Brothers (2001). Scott described the working atmosphere on the set of Band of Brothers as "awful".[12]
Scott appeared as Col. William Smith in the historical miniseries John Adams. In 2009, he appeared in Sea Wall, a one-man show written especially for him by playwright Simon Stephens.[10] Later that year, he starred in a sold-out run of Cock at the Royal Court, which won an Olivier Award in 2010. His re in an episode of Foyle's War, in which he plays a prisoner determined to allow himself to hang for a crime he may not have committed, was described in Slant as a "standout performance".[17] His film appearances include a role in Chasing Cotards (a short film made for IMAX); a role in the short film, Silent Things; and the role of Paul McCartney in the BBC film Lennon Naked. He also stars in the critically acclaimed 2010 film The Duel.[18]
2010–2017
He gained prominence for his role as Sherlock Holmes' nemesis Jim Moriarty opposite Benedict Cumberbatch in the drama series Sherlock, which he played from 2010 to 2017.[6] He starred alongside Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman. For his performance he received the British Academy Television Award for Best Supporting Actor. In an interview with The Independent, Scott stated "Sherlock has changed all our careers, and I'm really pleased about that. It gives you the benefit of the doubt because executives like to see recognisable faces ... It was overwhelming to be on a TV show that is quite so popular. That took me totally by surprise. People had an instant affection for it from the first episode. The reaction was extraordinary".[19]
In November 2013, Scott took part in the Royal National Theatre's 50 Years on Stage, a theatrical event which consisted of excerpts from many plays over the National's fifty-year run and was broadcast live on television. Alongside Dominic Cooper, Scott performed a scene from Tony Kushner's epic play Angels in America about the AIDS crisis in New York City.[21] In 2014 Scott took to the stage in Birdland, written by Simon Stephens and directed by Carrie Cracknell at the Royal Court Theatre, playing the central character of Paul, a rock star on the verge of a breakdown. Scott received positive reviews for the performance, with comments such as "beautifully played"[22] and [he] "pulls off the brilliant trick of being totally dead behind the eyes and fascinating at the same time, an appalling creature who's both totem and symptom".[23]
In 2015, he appeared in the James Bond filmSpectre as Max Denbigh, a member of the British government intent on shutting down the Double-0 section.[6] Of the experience, Scott stated, "I was thrilled to be asked. I found it difficult to be in that film. I think I could've just been a bit better. I think I allowed myself to be a little intimidated by the budget and the history of the franchise, and I don't think I attempted enough to be original".[24] The following year he appeared in the romantic drama film This Beautiful Fantastic (2016), directed and written by Simon Aboud.[25]
In 2017, Scott's performance in the title role of Hamlet won critical acclaim and earned him the nomination for Laurence Olivier Award for Best Actor in a Leading Role in a Play.[26] The play was directed by Robert Icke and first produced at the Almeida Theatre.[27][28] Michael Billington of The Guardian praised Scott's performance, writing, "Scott's Hamlet is most memorable for his charm, self-mockery and ability to speak directly to the audience."[29] The production was filmed and broadcast on BBC Two at Easter 2018.[30] Scott also voiced Obake in Big Hero 6: The Series (2017).
Scott first commented publicly on his homosexuality in an interview with The Independent in November 2013. He stated, "Mercifully, these days people don't see being gay as a character flaw. But nor is it a virtue, like kindness. Or a talent, like playing the banjo. It's just a fact. Of course, it's part of my make-up, but I don't want to trade on it."[39] Scott was ranked at No. 22 on The Independent's Rainbow List 2014,[40] and No. 4 on the newspaper's Pride List for 2024. In 2023, he said that, when he first started out as an actor, people had "encouraged" him not to disclose his sexual orientation.[41]
Scott worked with the charity IdeasTap, mentoring young actors and helping them to start their careers,[6] until the charity closed in June 2015 due to a lack of funds.[42]
