I come from the town next to where T.E. Scott comes from and let me tell you, he is a local hero. Sure he has a stellar acting career, but people don't really realiz all the good he did back home. He was the first person to pull off a 900* spin at the East Bridgewater Skate Park, he was solely responsible for putting Star Market, an evil grocer, out of business, and finally, he saved a drownding child at the YMCA's Camp Satucket. I saw him one time and asked why he has done so much for everyone in the community and he responded, "It's just that thing I do". Good man. Good man.

I read somewhere once in an interview that he uses "Everett" for a beloved uncle. I think there was an actor in the guild already using the name Tom Scott. Seems like Everett wasn't his actual middle name.

That first poster sounds like a real jokester.
Nice that he kept his real name. Do many actors even adopt stage names anymore?

Hi. Yes, I'm sure they were kidding. You know, I think most have to change their names due to the number of people in the Screen Actor's Guild. I don't know how it works, but I know it is sticky if two performers use the same name. I know he hates to be called Thomas. In fact, I'm not so sure his name is Thomas. It may just be Tom or Tommy. I also know there is a jazz musician by the name of Tom Scott who is pretty famous.

hahaTom is one of my favorite actors and while I don't know him as a person he's always given me the impression (through interviews) that he's a nerd wrapped up in a hunky package

I'm from E.B. too. He was supposed to come to my graduation (class of 2000) and speak, but he no showed. I never heard of all that stuff that the OP said he did, maybe its true, maybe not. Start Market did suck though.
