The masters of independent cinema, the Coen brothers, are known to everyone. Sacha Baron Cohen became famous as one of the most daring comedians of today. Not so famous is their namesake, an American producer and actor named Scott. However, the audience still remembered him from the cult fantasy "The Tenth Kingdom" and dozens of TV roles.
Scott E. Cohen is a native of the Bronx, New York borough. His parents raised five children.
Searching for a vocation
The biography of the future artist began in 1961. The child was born on December 19 in the family of a musician and a teacher. From an early age, his father taught his son to play the piano, hoping that Scott would become a famous jazzman.
The young man chose education at New York State University. However, a passion for clowning and acting prevailed. The study was forgotten: together with the theater company, the student went on tour. After graduation, the guy returned home, starting his training in dramatic art. He could not get a job at the theater, he did not take auditions, so he was content with temporary earnings. I had to visit both a peddler of newspapers and a waiter in a small cafe.
The drama "The Letnitsa of Jacob" began her film career. Tim Robbins played the main role in Adrian Lyne's film. Scott only appeared in one episode. Two years later, in 1992, the aspiring artist already played along with Armand Assante and Antonio Banderas in the musical film Mambo Kings. However, the young actor was not well received by the big screen. In the credits, his name was always indicated, but the audience for some reason did not remember the role.
Things were much better with television activities. Scott began with soap operas. He played in the TV series One Life to Live. Then there were "Practice" and "NYPD". With Angelina Jolie, Scott participated in the biographical drama Gia in 1998. The young actress did not agree to the role of a photo model who became a drug addict and ended her life sadly because of superstition. However, it was this role that brought Jolie the Golden Globe. The film was also highly appreciated.
Film career
Scott's finest hour came at 1000 with the mini-series "The Tenth Kingdom". The joint TV project of cinematographers from Germany, America and Great Britain has gained the highest ratings, remaining in demand even now by kids and adults. The main character of the telenovela was an ordinary girl from New York named Virginia. She was played by actress Kimberly Williams-Paisley.
A resident of a modern metropolis happened to get into a fairy-tale world. There, the girl, together with her father, experienced many adventures and found happiness in love. A similar scenario was and remains the dream of many girls. The main character, the Wolf, was played by Scott Cohen. In his film portfolio, this image remained the most prominent. Both good and bad qualities have come together in the character. He participated in both funny and romantic scenes.
At the very beginning of the story, Cohen's hero is a puppet in the hands of the evil Queen. However, then a real feeling came. The wolf truly fell in love with Virginia. Fans of the series regret that the creators of the beautiful story never agreed to continue. At first, the intention was, but the audience did not have a chance to find out what happened to the characters they liked, Ginny and the Wolf.
New work was the role in the main cast of the dramedy "Gilmore Girls". Lorelai Gilmore's chosen one, Max Medina, became Cohen's character. The scenario in a small town is the life of a young single mother Loreloai and her sixteen-year-old daughter Rory. Both are mistaken for sisters. They get along well and are best friends. Their tastes for food, movies, music converge.
Rory and Lorelai's lives are intense and unpredictable. The girl inherited a very strong character from her parent. She did not shy away, deciding to leave home at the age of 16 and embarking on an adult life without the care of the influential parents of the father of her child. At the same time, the girl managed to maintain an amazing sense of humor, optimism, and adolescent ease.
