Additional Comments: I've been trying to like Scott (I liked him when he was played by another years ago) but I'm not getting anywhere.  I find him boring and don't care for his mannerisms.  I think it's time he found his own place and moved out of Adam's house.

Let's not forget when he did his basically "nude" scene..I still can't get over that he was that ripped.

For a bit, he lost some of the mannerisms...and I thought, Huzzah...he's got an acting coach.  But then they came back.

I don't mind when he tries to be kind of...I don't know...kind of a really decent guy as Stuart would want him to be.  It doesn't come natural to him...so that makes me feel he's TRYING hard to be as decent a guy as Stuart was...and that's kinda' nice.

I like that he's protecting Adam.

I don't like his lusting after Annie.

I don't think he's living off the Chandlers now but when he first came to town and was all over JR for not wanting to fund his medical project because Chandler Enterprises was hurting and didn't get any bailout money (wonder why, everyone else did it seems) - he was pretty obnoxious.  Then when Adam pitted the 2 'boys' against each other and then decided to make Scott the 'winner' and invited Stuart over to witness the signing of the paperwork...well the rest is sad, sad history.

He's tolerable enough.  The resemblance, though, to Adam/Stuart is so weird since he's not a blood Chandler so I don't think it was intentional when they chose him for the part.

  • I read somewhere (now I can't think of where so I can't back it up) that they are distant cousins in real life. MM

    I'm soo SICK of Scott & his self-righteous attitude! Scott, who is several years older than JR(in real-life, & on the show) is living off the Chandlers, but has the NERVE to be all judgemental towards JR ever since he came back to town! And it doesn't help the actor is getting worse by every episode! Maybe he was hired for his resemblance to Adam, but Personally, I think he bares more of resemblance to Gomer Pyle or Laurel from Laurel Hardy. The actor is just really bad, & all he does is make funny goofy faces and reading cue cards during scenes. AMC really missed the boat in not getting Forbes March when they had the chance!

  • Forbes March would have been fabulous. This Scott, as you said, seems to be just getting worse instead of better. MM
  • I also liked Daniel Cosgrove as Scott. He's very good looking and can act. I never understood why they got rid of him and Forbes March. Either one of them would be better than the one they've got now.
