Campbell Scott (born July 19 1961) is an American actor, director, producer, and voice artist.

Scott was born in New York City, New York, the son of George C. Scott, an actor, director, and producer, and Colleen Dewhurst, a Canadian-born actress. He graduated from Lawrence University in 1983. His brother is Alexander Scott.

As an actor, Scott co-starred in the movie "Dying Young" (in which his mother also appeared) alongside Julia Roberts. He also appeared in the movie "Singles". In 1996, he teamed up with Stanley Tucci to direct the film "Big Night". The film met with much critical acclaim and was nominated for the "Grand Jury Prize" at the Sundance Film Festival. For their work, Scott and Tucci won both the New York Film Critics Circle Award and the Boston Society of Film Critics Award for Best New Director.

In 2002, he was awarded the Best Actor prize from the National Board of Review for his notable performance in "Roger Dodger". Scott starred in "Six Degrees", an ABC program that premiered September 21, 2006, but went on hiatus due to low ratings and is not expected to film any more episodes.

In 2007, Campbell Scott lent his voice for the narration of an eco-friendly Chevron Corporation television ad, as well as the critically-acclaimed Iraq War documentary film, "No End in Sight".
