Scott Allen Perry (SAP) is from Lafayette, LA. He got his start as a performer at an early age. His role as Hansel in the 3rd grade production of "Hansel and Gretel" was the talk of the Our Lady of Fatima PTA and alumni for decades. His follow up turn as The Fox in Miss Nief's 4th grade production of "Pinocchio" was legendary, when the soon to be familiar phrase "scene stealer" was attributed to his wry, caustic performance.Not wanting to be type-cast as an elementary school performer, Scott branched out to... ballet? Oh yes, ballet. His role as The Nerd in The Ultimate's original production "Breakfast in America" had audiences rolling with laughter, and in one brief tone-shifting moment, teary eyed as the The Nerd, rejected by the object of his affection turned away, defeated, and whimpered a whimper that would make the iciest heart melt. It was ironic that his next role was the icy-hearted green brooder himself, the Grinch, in The Ultimate's follow up production "How the Grinch Stole Christmas." It was said that when Perry's Grinch heart grew ten times its size, family members in the audience who were not on the best of terms immediately began hugging one another.SAP found the spotlight a bit tiresome and headed to community theatre. The local production of "Annie" had never seen such a great Background Hobo in Hooverville. And just as the adrenaline rush brought on by SAP's notoriously bawdy box-step had subsided, he turned up as Police Officer in the next scene. A dual role (not his last) that left audiences satiated for months, some even say, years.High School brought speech and drama competitions. SAP wowed with his oratory skills, his ability to debate on topics he had no knowledge of (sound familiar America?) and took home several local, state, and national trophies for his turns in such great truncated versions of "K-2", "Play it Again, Sam", and "Scapino", which his fellow thespians referred to as "Scottpino" because of Perry's now signature ad-libbing skills.Most performers would have retired at this point, but not Scott Allen Perry. He moved to New York City, fresh out of high school, and entered the world of off-off-off-off-off-Broadway productions. He wrote, directed, and starred in 3 one act plays at the famous Village Gate in Manhattan. The first was "Irrehearsible", a meta comedy where SAP's God-like director turned out to be just another pawn in another God's game of people-chess. 5 8 sold out performances later, Perry decided to freshen things up with a new one-act. "Four Fingers in Search of a Thumb." That success led to his final stage opus, "How Life Reflects Off the Heads of Bald Men." Perry had conquered the stage. It was time for a break.The next logical step for SAP was to become the lead singer of a heavy funk group in Austin, TX. Biscuit was born, featuring Arun Pandian on guitar, Dwayne "D-Madness" Jackson on bass, drums, and whatever else was necessary, and SAP on the mic, keys, rhythm guitar, and, occasionally, drums. Gigs at Austin staples like The Steamboat, Liberty Lunch, and Flamingo Cantina were lively, booty shaking magic moments in time. Likened to Fishbone, Funkadelic, and Faith No More, Biscuit was always a live show that brought the funk and rocked it like a hurricane. In the wake of this funk Tsunami, SAP was once again bitten by the acting bug and headed west.Hollywood, CA. SAP's first success was playing a mindless soldier, brainwashed by his fearless leader who was aptly named Fearless Leader. It was the role of RBTV Spy in the blockbuster hit "The Adventures of Rocky and Bullwinkle." His ability to obey orders and weakly attempt to grab the gun from the hot, young FBI agent portrayed by Piper Perabo caught the attention of several audiences members, and one costar, the infamous Doug Jones. A friendship was born that spawned many collaborations. The first, Perry's acting reel, where Jones instructed SAP in the art of putting his leg behind his head. This scene of course unfolded into the classic SAP left turn moment when he successfully puts his leg behind his head only to get it stuck! Wackiness ensued. There was a moment where lubricant was applied. A truly formative moment adding tools to Perry's comedy arsenal.Numerous productions written and directed by SAP followed. Short films like "Side Effects", "Perfect Couple", "008". Perry also starred in over 15 AFI cycle projects: he was a Croatian salami lover in "Monisa Claviet", an unwitting bandit in "The Legend of Catfish Bates", and his own worst enemy in "The Dual" (a dual role, not his first) all of which earned him raves, high fives, and literal pats on the back from his peers. Perry directed the documentary "The Outdoorsmen: Blood, Sweat, and Beers" which sold at Tribeca Film Festival to Spike TV and later IFC. He was on fire.SAP's unpredictable nature is the only thing predictable about him. But you probably saw that one coming. Or didn't you? In a shift that would steer his path on a course to fraternal satisfaction, SAP focused his creative energies on the career of this brother; the hilarious, dramatic, king of smirks, Josh "The Poncean" Perry. Together they would wrack up hundreds of millions of viral views on the internet, and star in several films and television programs together. For mandatory Perry Brother's viewing, see such classics such as the stereotype killer "The Trouble With Syndromes" and the found footage spoofery of "Perry-Normal Activity."After 12 years in Los Angeles, Scott happily returned to his home-state of Louisiana and has gone on to create unforgettable characters in film and television like Three-Eyed-Dog-Girl and Maaarf the Magnificent in FuelTV's Stupidface, Scott the mammary obsessed 80s key-tar player in Free Radio, po'boy shop owner and not too seemingly phased by the news that his girlfriend is dead Anthony Antonelli on NCIS: New Orleans and the clean-shaven redneck Corley in CBS' Zoo.Keep your eyes (and 3D glasses) peeled for Scott snarking up the big screen as Carl in Found Footage 3D. And Ivan, the Russian with magnificent locks of hair that would make Vidal Sassoon kowtow in awestruck reverence in the hilarious celluloid comedy "Keeping Up With the Joneses." Hide
