Scott's an actor:

http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0741662/

I remembered him when I saw him in "High voltage" again.

He's very good, I'm suprised he had to self fund, the bitcoin production is a pro production, it doesn't look self funded.

 
I'm a little confused when watching him win $37k in the gameshow "majority rules":

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GYIqoQDHrcI

at 6:59 when asked by the host about his occupation he says


chicago checks out on his bio, but "computing and consultancy firm"?

the show only ran between 1996-1997,

in 1996 he appeared in "Prom Pudendum"
in 1997 he appeared in "High Voltage"

I would have thought he would have mentioned that to the show host, "I'm an actor and have recently been involved with..." or was he in character as an actor during the show? Or was he really also the owner of a computing and consultancy firm and appearing in feature films at the same time?

I suppose it's cheaper for shows to produce content using actors rather than general public, prize money can then be more impressive than actors fee, more viewership less outlay.

Well either way I'm sure this bitcoin video will get many views.
