After the death of his father, his mother settled in Cape Town, completed his schooling at St George's Grammar School becoming Head Boy in 1955. His earlier adult career was in banking including a two-year stint in Rhodesia. Having enough of banking he left for the United Kingdom for three months but ended up staying twelve years. He studied acting at the Webber Douglas Academy of Dramatic Art before taking up acting at various repertory theatres in England. In 1965, Scott performed in The Mousetrap in London. Returning to South Africa in 1970, Scott appeared in one of the first South African television dramas in 1976, The Villagers as Ted Dixon, a series of 76 episodes over three years, and this popular series made him a household name. He has also starred in a number of South African television advertisements. He was also a public speaker and had an interest in esoteric matters.
