  • Actor
IMDbProStarmeterSee rank
Timothy Scott in Vanishing Point (1971)
Tim Scott was tall and thin, who sometimes went unshaven, and because of this rough yet unthreatening appearance he was often cast in westerns. He was born in Detroit, Michigan, but as a young boy moved with his family to Albuquerque, New Mexico. He loved the theater deeply and he became the co-founder of the "New MET Theatre" in Los Angeles, California, with one of his best friends, actor James Gammon.

Tim died unexpectedly at the age of 57 from complications of lung cancer in Los Angeles, California, on 15 June 1995. He was a fabulous actor and is dearly missed by many.
