Scoot McNairy
☼ Born on 11 December 1977, in Dallas, Texas, USA
BiographyDuring the early 2000s, actor Scoot McNairy quickly came to specialize in portrayals of colorful and individualistic young men with a slightly rebellious edge. McNairy began during the early to mid-2000s, with bit parts in films including Wonderland (2003), Herbie: Fully Loaded (2005), and Art School Confidential (2006). He took his first bow as a producer with 2007's In Search of a Midnight Kiss, in which he also starred. That indie romantic comedy concerns a young man (McNairy) all washed up on New Year's Eve -- until an impulsive ad on Craigslist leads him to the great love of his life (Sara Simmonds) and an extraordinary night on the town.

Killing Them Softly (02/12/2012)

Sure, the film focuses on a hitman named Jackie (Brad Pitt), who is called in to kill those responsible in a robbery. However, the film moves at quite a slow pace, which features much more talking than […]

However, while they are both films that feature Neeson in a genre he is not usually known for, they are two different types of film. While the term is probably overused, the best description of Unknown would be […]
