Dougray Scott (born Stephen Scott on November 25, 1965) is a Scottish television and film actor.

Sometimes Scott is referred to as "Young Sean Connery", and a similarity in acting style is also noted between Scott and the late Steve McQueen. He is most known for his roles as the villain in Mission Impossible 2 as well as Ian in the US dramedy Desperate Housewives.

Career

Originally from Glenrothes, Fife, Scott enrolled on a foundation course in drama and then went on to attend the Royal Welsh College of Music & Drama in Cardiff (1984-87), whose former students include Sir Anthony Hopkins. Whilst studying there he earned the college's 1987 Most Promising Drama Student award.

After graduating from college Scott began his acting career in regional theatre and making television appearances and first found fame on the television series Soldier Soldier. His film career was launched by the Welsh-set Twin Town. After this, he played Prince Henry in Ever After and the hero in the adaptation of Robert Harris' novel Enigma.

In 1998, he signed to play the villain in the film Mission: Impossible II but was also due to play Wolverine in the big screen version of X-Men. When Mission Impossible II went over schedule by two months, Scott was replaced in the latter film, by Hugh Jackman.

He recently appeared in the NBC series Heist which aired in March 2006 and is now cancelled as it was pitted against the highly popular "American Idol" and never had a fair chance to shine before it was pulled after only three episodes. In January of 2006, he appeared in the miniseries The Ten Commandments as Moses. Currently Dougray has a recurring role, in nine episodes of the 3rd season of Desperate Housewives, as Teri Hatcher's character's new love interest with a possibility of his role continuing into the next DH's season depending on his character's reception by the audience.

Contender for Bond?

After the release of Pierce Brosnan's The World Is Not Enough (1999), Scott was a frontrunner to replace Brosnan as James Bond and was according to him in negotiations with the producers. Brosnan's contract was for three films with an optional fourth. Ultimately, Brosnan's option was picked up. After its release, Scott was once again widely believed to be a leading candidate to take on the role. Despite the numerous reports that EON Productions was leaning towards naming Scott as the new Bond in the next 007 adventure Casino Royale, the famous role eventually went to Daniel Craig.

Personal life

In April 2000, Scott married Sarah Trevis, a casting director and are parents to a set of twins. In 2005, the couple divorced. Scott is now engaged to actress Claire Forlani.
