    He moves his arms wildly because he can't stop himself which indicates he's very insecure. He also stacks his hair on the top of his head to try to look taller, again, another sign of insecurity. He speaks in "choppy" words which is yet another sign of insecurity. He simply isn't very good and I'm sure if it weren't for his father he wouldn't get work.

          Scott inherited a lot of his father from the hot headedness to the aggression (which the double hand mobility dictates). The only thing I think Scott doesn't have is his father's voice. Scott's a lot less raspy than good old Jimmy Caan, even when the old man was Santino in the Godfather.

            It's a mannerism that I happen to like! Along with that ass! 😉 😛

                He makes wild gestures with his hands and heaps his hair on the top of his head because he can't act and he's a squirt.

                  I was going to make a joke about you looking at his hips until I realized exactly what you were talking about. And you're so right!
                  Personally, I like the way he gestures. Some people just talk that way, so yeah, I'm cool with it.

                      He learned at a very early age that he was going to be shortest person in any crowd and so his arm-waving is an attempt to attract attention.
                      Look at me, he is screeching with his gestures, I'm down here.

                        At least he has a television show. Your claim to fame is begging for attention by dumping on random actors on the internet. Bravo.

                          Two reasons I think
                          1)His father's influence (like father, like son).
                          2)His father studied with Sanford Meisner , so I think you're seeing one aspect of the Meisner technique. I notice that all the actors that studied with him tend to do that.

                            With the only difference that the father is an actor.

                                Not only does he have to use both hands in a rhythm, he also delivers his lines to the person's chest (this can last at least 30 seconds) and looks up to make eye contact at the last few words.
                                It has got the point, I can't help noticing the hands and the line delivery. So now I tend to look away from the screen when he speaks. And the hair, don't get me started it's something middle aged men do to hide the fact they're thinning on top. It looks ridiculous. Unless you're in a Grease remake!
