Biography |
Jason-Shane Scott moved to Reno, Nevada, at the age of 2,
with his mother and older sister while making frequent trips
to L.A. to visit his father. Jason attended Wooster High
School and excelled at sports; playing baseball, basketball
and football. His football talent earned him particular
recognition; his team won the state championship and Jason
himself was offered numerous football scholarships. Upon
graduation, Jason chose to pursue an acting career and moved
back to Los Angeles. Enrolled in acting classes, he began
studying intensely. Jason also took up modeling and spent
several months in Europe.
Upon his return to the U.S. he appeared in such films as
Shrieker, Until Death, A Turn in the Tree, Caught and
Billy's Hollywood Screen Kiss, as well as the Aerosmith
videos for "Love Is Hard on your Knees" and "Pole in My
Hole". In 1998 he tested for and won the role of troubled
teenager "Will Rappaport" on the daytime serial One Life to
Live (OLTL) and moved to New York City. For this portrayal,
he received two Soap Opera Digest Award nominations: 1999,
Outstanding Male Newcomer; 2000, Outstanding Younger Leading
Actor. Jason's three years on OLTL allowed him to polish his
acting further as he was given a chain of challenging
storylines. In 2001, he left OLTL and New York City and
returned to Los Angeles. Since then, his time back has been
spent pursuing his passion for acting. He has appeared in
such films as Wolves of Wall Street (2003), Latter Days
(2004) and Starship Troopers 2 (2004); guest starred on such
shows as the Lifetime drama For the People (2002), NBC's
Scrubs and CBS's CSI: Crime Scene Investigation. Jason has
also made a few brief returns to One Life to Live since his
departure in 2001 most recently September 2007. He has
appeared on CBS's The Young & The Restless and has
co-starred with Brittany Powell (ex-Summer, GH) in Soapnet's
