Scott Cohen

'Scott Cohen' (qv) was born in the Bronx, New York, the son of a jazz musician, Jack Cohen. Scott's original aspirations were toward music - and to this day he remains an accomplished and talented pianist. Scott attended the State University of New York at New Paltz where a course in clowning led to the start of his acting career. After developing his skills in upstate New York, Scott returned to the city where he found work as a substitute teacher, a waiter, a messenger, and even at one time a toy demonstrator. Finally in 1990 (just after his marriage to playwright Anastasia Traina in 1989) Scott was offered his breakthrough role in 'Adrian Lyne' (qv)'s _Jacob's Ladder (1990)_ (qv). After completing his first feature film, Scott continued to rise as a star and has received critical acclaim for many roles, both on and off the screen.::[email protected]
