Scott Michael Foster Was Doing Theatre at a Small Age
Although born in Winfield, Illinois, Scott Michael Foster grew up in the suburbs of Dallas after his family relocated to Highland Village, Texas. Growing up, he found inspiration through his family and two elder sisters. Following the latters’ footsteps, he also dabbled in local theatre at a very young age. While his formative years were shaped by an inherent interest in entertainment and movies, the actor also focused on his education.
Foster graduated from Edward S. Marcus High School in Texas prior to attending the local Collin County Community College. Here, he studied the Quad C Theatre Program, which eventually propelled the now 38-year-old to kickstart his dreams. As for his familial life, in 2019, Foster and his sisters had to sustain an unfortunate tragedy when they lost the matriarch of their family. Nevertheless, of course, he still remains thankful for all the time he got to spend with her and repeatedly showcases his love and affection for her on his online platforms.
Scott Michael Started With Indie Films
After accruing some experience in theory, Foster decided to actualize his dreams. To this end, he dropped out following one semester in college, took the plunge, moved to Los Angeles, and chose to refine his abilities. The then-aspiring movie star attended acting classes while simultaneously booking commercials and auditioning for roles. In the years that followed, he was able to secure several jobs in independent films and small acting gigs.
Finally, in 2007, Foster bagged the part of Cappie on the ABC comedy-drama television series, ‘Greek.’ This role proved to be the breakthrough he needed in his career. For the next five years, he gained wide renown for his work on the show. At the same time, he also devoted time to his own oeuvre. In 2011, Foster wrote and starred in Comedy Central’s ‘Neighbros.’ Following this feat, he even guest-starred in several productions like, ‘Law & Order: LA,’ ‘Melissa & Joey,’ ‘Friends with Benefits,’ and ‘Parenthood.’
Subsequently, Foster continued to hone his skills in front of the camera and appeared in the Emmy Nominated series, ‘The River.’ He also acted alongside David Duchovny in ‘Californication,’ followed by a stint opposite opposite Anthony Edwards and Carmen Ejogo for ‘Zero Hour.’ While his performances in ‘Once Upon a Time,’ ‘Blood & Oil,’ ‘Crazy Ex-Girlfriend,’ and ‘You’ have been widely acclaimed, Foster has even accrued renown for his musical talent. In fact, this television and movie personality plays guitar and is part of an indie rock band called Siren’s Eye. They released their debut EP in 2009 and have since enthralled audiences. All of this enabled him to showcase his acumen in Netflix’s ‘Choose Love’ in 2023.
