Biography
Scott began working in the film biz in college (UBC) a long time ago and appeared in Larry Kent’s The Street,”Vancouver’s first independent film. Forty years later he worked with Kent again in Vancouver in the much debated Hamster Cage (VIFF 2004). His feature debut was in Daddy’s Gone a’ Hunting, a film directed by Mark Robson, who also cast him in Earthquake. In the miniseries “Centennial,” he played a horse thief, Mike Lasater, which earned him a fan letter from James Michener himself.
After 10 unsold TV pilots, Hylands bailed to Toronto and finally found himself standing under the right tree at the right time, starring as Cop O’Brien in the police procedural “Night Heat.” It lasted four years and produced 96 one-hour episodes. He turned down further series work in Toronto in order to fulfill his other priorities - building his own house, getting married, having kids, and fooling around in the theater. He lives on beautiful Saltspring Island, a ferry ride from where he was raised.
