A.D. Scott is an award-winning actor, director, and filmmaker. Born and raised in the Westbank of New Orleans, LA, Scott moved to the Dallas metroplex in 2002 and got his start in a touring gospel comedy stage-play, titled "Mama Nem's House". Since then, he has performed professionally in several theatre and stage-play productions. In 2014, he decided to branch out to TV and film projects. Over the next 8 years, Scott filmed a number of short films and TV pilots, including a few award-winning projects at various film festivals. He's recently starred in VH1's "My True Crime Story", and also appeared in the Emmy-nominated series "#Washed". In the midst of switching his focus to feature films, Scott would demonstrate the ability to be a key factor in some successful films, from both in front and behind the camera. Notably, films like "Older Man Younger Woman" would prove that international success could also be in capable reach. He's most known for his roles in "Knee Deep" and "A True Christmas", films that he also directed. Scott made his directorial debut in 2017 on a web-series titled "And This Is My Story", and has since been regarded as a unique visionary, with his eyes set on producing films of his own. He has now directed a total of 5 feature films, including "The Creep", which was deemed a success by garnering upwards of 20 million streams in a span of about a month. Scott is an extremely passionate filmmaker who is dedicated to the craft, and committed to continue focusing on his uncanny ability of bringing his visions to life.

Shape of the crowd
7 of their 8 titles are Divisive.
- Divisive7
- Mixed1
Percentiles are each film's standing among all films on MovieCove; the typical film is the median, so one outlier cannot drag it. Percentiles and reviewer scores count the films IMDb credits them on, for now; the Midcredits score bands, the shape of the crowd and the two cards count their MovieCove titles, shows included (a show ranked among shows), appearances as themselves left out. A descriptor is the shape of a title's IMDb rating distribution against the catalog; "most divisive" needs a spread wider than half of all titles, and a card names only a principal credit: a craft role, and on a show a crew role or a run of episodes, never a courtesy credit or a one-off guest spot.
