In 2004, Scout booked a leading role in the new Bravo Series “Hidden Howie” starring Howie Mandel. Other television guest credits include recurring roles on “Charmed,” and “Gilmore Girls,” plus appearances on “Standoff.” “Cold Case,” “Without A Trace,” “ER,” and the popular Disney series, “That's So Raven.” Scout also has had several stints on “The Tonight Show.” She was nominated in 2004 for a Young Artist Award for her work on “Gilmore Girls,” and was nominated again in 2005 for her supporting role in “Sleepover” and recurring role on CBS’ “The Guardian.” Scout's voice-over credits include a recent loop for Disney’s “Sky High” starring Kurt Russell and Kelly Preston. Other voice-over credits include two films with Academy Award winning actors including “The Core” starring Hillary Swank and “I Am Sam” starring Sean Penn, and work in the film “The Princess Diaries 2: Royal Engagement.” Scout continues her training in acting, dance, and voice with top coaches and is currently preparing for her first rock album.
