W. Keith Scott hails from Boston, Massachusetts by way of his
birthplace of Kinston, North Carolina. During his childhood he was
always drawn to the performing arts starting out with the recorder and
chorus, later moving to the Base Guitar and Clarinet and then to the
theater department. While living much of his adolescent life in Boston,
he attended Madison Park High School where he excelled in the
performing arts. Although his formal training stems from Fayetteville
Tech, his other trainings come from local and self taught instruction.
Alongside legendary music greats, New Edition, he formed his own
musical group Nadiege, although the group had little success. After the
disbanding of Nadiege, he and a relative decided to join the United
States Army together under the "buddy system." During his 24 years of
active duty service he has earned numerous awards accounting for his
successfully achievements during his military career. The display of a
Parachutist Badge and an Expert Marksmanship Badge indicates he will go
the extra distance to get the job done. While moving up the ranks in
the military his love of the arts continued to mature while
participating with local theater groups and venues. Upon retirement
from the U.S. Army, Sergeant Major (SGM) has achieved the highest
enlisted rank as a Soldier. SGM (Ret.) Scott's dedication and drive to
his projects aka mission can be seen through his military service, his
loving marriage, his children and his devotions to his faith in God.
Anticipating his retirement from the military and returning to his
dream of acting, SGM (Ret.) Scott was able to obtain a role in 2006 in
the locally acclaimed full length film Tricks. Such an opportunity
sparked a rejuvenation of his passion for the performing arts as he
began to pursue more versatile roles to include several on the
nationally syndicated cable channel Investigative Discovery. Now, as a
veteran, SGM (Ret.) Scott brings the experiences of leadership,
determination, sacrifice and service to the roles he undertakes as an
actor and the unique perspective he offers as a Military Technical
Advisor to filmmakers, fellow actors, screenwriters, and producers.
This talented actor has yet to have the opportunity to show us the
wealth of knowledge he brings to the industry; he continues to pursue
his dreams by approaching each project with the same fervor and
enthusiasm he nurtured all his life.
