Scott Walker was born in Regina, Saskatchewan, Canada, into a family with a diverse musical and entertainment background, tracing back to his great-grandfather Harry Walker, who played with John Philip Sousa, and was the first Bandmaster of the North West Mounted Police. Scott's involvement with the entertainment industry began at the age of seven, when he appeared in a series of live commercials for Ford of Canada on the Ed Sullivan Show. His career was interrupted by his parents' desire that he enjoy a normal childhood. It resumed upon his graduation from the University of Toronto in 1971 (where he majored in Economics), and has involved him in many areas of the entertainment world. His career really began in radio. He served his apprenticeship at a small station in Ontario. He then worked at CKRC, a Top-Forty station in Winnipeg, Manitoba. He was Music Director and Afternoon Drive host at Toronto Classic Pop station CJCL. Most recently, Scott was a familiar voice on CBC radio. He hosted THE RADIO ONE BUSINESS NETWORK, and anchored the National Radio News. For twelve years, he shared his interest in the history of popular music with SCOTT WALKER'S MUSICAL ALMANAC. In addition, he adapted and starred in the musical COLETTE - THE COLOURS OF LOVE for CBC's MUSIC AROUND US, and was featured in I CONCENTRATE ON YOU, a CBC Radio special commemorating the 100th anniversary of the birth of Cole Porter. He was a co-founder of Reprise Concerts, a Toronto company that introduced the concept of great musicals in a concert setting to Canada. Scott appeared in two Reprise productions: COMPANY and ANYTHING GOES. He has also performed across Canada in productions such as URINETOWN, THE KING AND I, THE MUSIC MAN, GUYS AND DOLLS, MY FAIR LADY, THE LEGEND OF THE DUMBELLS, OF MICE AND MEN, COMPANY, MAN OF LA MANCHA, LOVE LETTERS, CLOSER THAN EVER and PASSION. He has appeared in television and film, most recently in the Hallmark television movie FRESHMAN FATHER; as reporter Steve Tate in the series FOREVER KNIGHT; and in the Disney/Touchstone film THE REF. Scott also portrays Johnny Mercer in TOO MARVELOUS FOR WORDS, a show he has created about the career of the legendary songwriter and founder of Capitol Records. Scott is the narrator of SPIDERS ON DRUGS, one of the biggest hits on YouTube.
