BIO

George C. Scott was a rare breed of film star: a rugged-looking, essentially character actor who proved equally adept at playing the tough-guy lead in crime and action films as he was at delving deep into vulnerable characters in dramatic roles. He made a fantastic breakthrough over the course of a few years, first with a wonderful turn in Otto Preminger's Anatomy of a Murder, followed by starring opposite Paul Newman in The Hustler, and another top-notch character performance in Stanley Kubrick's masterpiece Dr. Strangelove. In 1971, Scott earned his one and only Oscar for his portrayal as General George S. Patton in the epic war film Patton (1970). His career dwindled somewhat from the mid-1980s, but he was rewarded with a Golden Globe for his performance as Juror #3 in the 1997 TV remake of 12 Angry Men, appearing opposite, among others, Jack Lemmon. His son is actor Campbell Scott.
