In 1990, Scott secured the lead role in “Longtime Companion”, a film which dealt with the beginnings of the HIV/AIDS epidemic in America. A steady stream of acting work followed, with Scott appearing alongside such major stars as Julia Roberts and Bridget Fonda. In 1996, he co-directed the movie “Big Night”, with Stanley Tucci, which starred Minnie Driver and Isabella Rossellini, which was a critical and financial success, and was nominated, though did not win, “Grand Jury Prize” at the Sundance Film Festival, but later won the “New York Film Critics Circle Award”. In 2005, Scott appeared in the horror movie “The Exorcism of Emily Rose”.
