Rodney Scott
Will Krudski in Young Americans
Rodney Scott makes his television starring debut
as a series regular on "Young Americans."
Born in Washington, D.C., Rodney cherished his
childhood in the beach resort town of Ocean City,
MD. An athletic teenager, he enjoyed playing
basketball, football and especially golf. A cousin
got him hooked on the latter, and he honed his
skills and competed in the state finals during his
sophomore year in high school. However, his
attention was diverted by drama in his senior year,
when he took a class on a lark and wound up
starring in three school plays, including "Romeo
and Juliet."
Upon graduation, he enrolled in a community
college, but after one semester, he set his sights
on a show business career. At 19, to his mother's
dismay, he decided to take the scenic
cross-country trip to Hollywood with three friends.
Soon after his arrival, Rodney found
representation and began auditioning for roles,
while working as an usher at the Mann's Chinese
Theater. When funds ran low, he went home to
Maryland for the summer and worked as a waiter.
With untarnished optimism and money in his
pocket, he returned to Los Angeles in the fall of
1998, and immediately was cast as a runaway
teen on the series "Promised Land." Several
months later, he landed "Young Americans."
In his leisure time, Rodney enjoys playing golf
and attending baseball and football games. An
avid traveler, he has visited most major U.S. cities
and hopes to venture to Egypt one day to see the
pyramids.
