Scott MacDonald is a veteran character actor with an extensive and eclectic list of credits in film, television, commercials, voice overs and on the legit stages of regional theaters across the U.S. and on Broadway.
MacDonald graduated from high school in the remote town of Libby in northwestern Montana. He attended Washington State University where, in the pursuit of a B.A. broadcasting degree, he performed in several plays and “caught the acting bug” and ended up with a second B.A. in theatre. Mac then earned a MFA in acting from California Institute of the Arts.
MacDonald enjoyed several years of quality work on the stages of the Seattle Repertory Theatre, Intiman Theatre, The Empty Space and regionally in Atlanta, Santa Fe, Washington D. C. . It was his leading role in the critically acclaimed Pulitzer Prize winning Tony nominated production of “The Kentucky Cycle” that brought MacDonald to LA and NYC served as his entry into movies and TV.
MacDonald has voiced or appeared in hundreds of national commercials and CD ROM games. He is one of a rare cadre of actors who have guest starred on all four of the modern Star Trek series as no less than 6 different creatures…including one human. He has performed Hamlet and Bullwinkle Moose on the boards, and even had a 7 year run as the lovely “Hilda” while wearing a dress in the long running Bud Light Ladies campaign which included thousands of personal appearances.
MacDonald is a devoted fly fisherman and returns to Big Sky country whenever he can. He is also a dyed in the wool WSU Cougar fan… Go Cougs.
