Jerome Elston Scott is an American screenwriter, director, actor and film and television producer. Scott grew up in New York City and Orlando, Florida in what has been described as an "..extremely open progressive environment. My parents definitely allowed for personal growth and individuality…Our differences were celebrated, encouraged even. Suppression was not something that was practiced in my adolescent experience and it has given me the confidence I need to survive, especially in Hollywood."
