Reid Scott[1] (born November 19, 1977),[2] known professionally as Reid Scott, is an American actor. He is best known for his starring roles as Brendan "Brando" Dorff in the TBS comedy series My Boys (2006–2010), Dan Egan in the HBO comedy series Veep (2012–2019), Gordon Ford in The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel (2022–2023), and NYPD Detective Vincent Riley on Law & Order (2024–present). He also appeared in the romantic comedy film Home Again (2017), the superhero film Venom (2018), and the comedy-drama film Late Night (2019).

Early life

Scott was born on November 19, 1977, the first of two children of Neil and Kathleen Weiner.[1] He grew up in Clifton Park, New York.[1] He attended La Salle Institute in Troy, New York and Syracuse University, graduating in 2000,[3] before moving to New York City to pursue his acting/writing career.[4]

Career

Scott began his career with roles in the off-Broadway play Cargo and several television commercials.[citation needed] In 2002, he won the lead role in the Fox pilot With You in Spirit, for which he received his Screen Actors Guild card. Scott recalls, "I remember thinking that the money from the pilot was a fortune. It wasn't. After renting a car to get around L.A., paying off some debt and maybe buying a new pair of shoes, I was broke. I had to borrow money from my father just to join SAG."[5]

Since then he has appeared in television and film, most notably My Boys, an original series on TBS. He appeared in an episode of Bones, on The Secret Life of the American Teenager as Dr. Jeff Tseguay, as Mike in Motorcity and in CSI: NY as Seth Riggin. Scott joined the cast of Showtime's The Big C in 2010. He played Dr. Todd Mauer, oncologist for the main character (played by Laura Linney).[6] He appeared on the big screen in films such as Amusement and Losing Control.[7]

Scott co-starred as Dan Egan on HBO's political comedy series Veep.[8]

He also voiced Turbo in the Netflix original animated series Turbo FAST.[9] The series is based on the 2013 film Turbo.

In June 2014, it was reported that Scott had joined the Nancy Meyers film The Intern, as a "smooth-talking, cocky young businessman."[10] However, Scott's character is not in the final cut of the film.[11]

In 2020, Scott played the lead role of David in the NBC drama pilot Echo which was written by JJ Bailey.[12] He played a supporting role as Ben in the 2022 drama film Wildflower.[13]

In November 2023, it was announced that Scott would join Law & Order as Detective Vincent Riley for season 23, after replacing former star Jeffrey Donovan, who exited the show over creative differences.[14]

Personal life

On June 21, 2014, Scott married his longtime girlfriend Elspeth Keller. They have two sons, born in 2015 and 2018.[15][16]
