David Morgan, one-time fellow Oregonian, one-time fellow New Yorker, one-time fellow actor, and extraordinary photographer, called this shot, which he took longer ago than either of us cares to remember, “Orson Welles at home”

My name is Kevin Newland Scott, (at least as far as Screen Actors Guild in concerned — other older SAG members having gotten first dibs on other variants of my name, I was forced to make myself eligible for citizenship in Gilbert Gottfried’s Land of the Three-Named People) and I am, among other things, an actor who has worked professionally in a variety of styles and media, and a theatre director. I have also served on the editorial staff of Simplicity Today/Simplicity Pattern Co., and worked as a paralegal for Wendell Wilkie’s old law firm. I have my Acting Résumé posted here in .PDF format, as well as some complimentary comments on my performance in Dishin’ With Divine. I had an article published in the Summer 1999 issue of the EdTA quarterly Teaching Theatre , (Volume 10, Number 4) under the title “Who owns the rights?: Copyright, the law and licensing the show” — it is available online in two versions the article as published is archived in PDF form on the EdTA Website at http://www.edta.org/pdf_archive/copyright2252001155629.pdf, while a periodically revised and updated Web version is posting in a subdirectory on this site. Article about my daughter Ellie (seen on the right in 2006 when she was a violinist in South Salem High's orchestra), who was an eighth-grader in 2002, “decr[ying the] marking out of Epic Of Gilgamesh”

NEW as of July 5, 2008: I appeared in the final FINAL performance of the End of the Pavement Micro New Works Festival produced by playwright Steve Patterson at the Back Door Theatre, Portland, OR — UBU LIVES!, an anthology of new pieces inspired by proto-dadaist Alfred Jarry and his monstrous creation. I had roles in two readings directed by Sharon Sassone: a moribund hedonist (in Annette Lee's "The Bathhouse") and a regicidal worker bee (in Tom Sime's "Queen Bee Syndrome")

NEW as of April 19, 2008: KNOCK KNOCK — a short low budget SAG Indie agreement project shot during the summer of 2007 in the Hollywood district of Portland, Oregon, in which I play the role of “Bill” (described in the film synopsis posted on the Salem Film Festival Website as a “henpecked husband”) — was shown on this date at 4:30 PM in the Grand Theater, as one of seven short films in the NW Emerging Artist Competition.

NEW as of December 15, 2007: This date was the invitational premiere screening of KNOCK KNOCK at the Living Room Theaters in Portland. The plan is to enter the now completed film in festivals. It is a fine strange little script written and directed by Cime Bruce, with a strong ensemble cast, and produced by FINAO Productions, LLC —

NEW as of March 20, 2007: I organized, directed and participated as a reader in Salem, Oregon's entry in a world wide reading of What I Heard About Iraq, adapted for the stage, from Eliot Weinberger's world-renowned article/prose poem, by Simon Levy, artistic director of the Fountain Theatre in LA. Thanks to First Congregational Church, United Church of Christ (Rev. Gail McDougle, interim associate pastor Rev. Jeff Barton, and office manager Annemieke Laport) for providing space and support, and to Ellie Poujade, Diane Simmons, Marijo Poujade and Ben Reid for also participating as readers. .

NEW as of June, 2006: For one night only, on Monday June 5, I had the great pleasure of appearing as Chrysale in the fifth annual (and possibly quite unique) Anonymous Theatre production of Moliere’s The Learned Ladies at the Northwest Neighborhood Cultural Center in Portland, OR — a dozen other actors and I met one another for the first time in front of a live paying audience as we kept the action going and the delightful verse translation by Richard Wilbur flowing around the delighted shock and surprise as each new player was revealed. We got a writeup by Inara Verzemnieks in that Friday’s Oregonian: “ Secret casting adds sense of mystery.”

NEW as of January, 2006: I appeared as Lady Bracknell in Patrick Spike’s production of The Importance of Being Earnest at the New Blue Parrot Theatre in Washougal, WA. .
