Tom Everett Scott

Tom Everett Scott is the kind of actor I always recognize before I can place the name. The Massachusetts native broke through as the drummer in That Thing You Do!, and that boy-next-door warmth has quietly carried him for decades. What I appreciate is his refusal to chase one lane: film, television, stage, and voice work all appear on his resume, from An American Werewolf in Paris to a small turn in La La Land. That's a working actor's career, not a celebrity's, and I respect it more for that. The Syracuse training shows in his reliability. He feels like someone directors trust to simply get it right.

Thomas Everett Scott (born September 7, 1970) is an American actor. His film work includes a starring role as drummer Guy Patterson in the film That Thing You Do!, the protagonist in An American Werewolf in Paris, and notable roles in Boiler Room, One True Thing, Dead Man on Campus, The Love Letter, Because I Said So, Danger One, La La Land, and Clouds.
