Biografie
Well-known to fans as a member of the famed Canadian sketch comedy troupe "The Kids in the Hall," Thompson is a versatile actor, writer, personality and stand-up comedian. After being discovered by Lorne Michaels in 1987 while scouting for "Saturday Night Live," "The Kids in the Hall" went on to have an HBO/CBC television series that ran from 1989 to 1995 in both Canada and the United States. After their television series finished in 1995, Thompson and the boys went on to write and star in their own feature film "Brain Candy," which has become a cult favorite.
In 1995, Thompson and fellow writer Paul Bellini penned "Buddy Babylon," a fictional memoir of one of Thompson's most beloved characters, the acid-tongued raconteur Buddy Cole. From 1996 to 1999, Thompson appeared as a regular on the revolutionary comedy series "The Larry Sanders Show" as Brian, Hank Kingsley's gay assistant. In addition, he played a recurring role as Elliot on NBC's "Providence," and in 2001 produced and co-wrote the award-winning Showtime documentary "Uncle Saddam."
He has appeared in such motion pictures as "Hijacking Hollywood," "The Pacifier," "Mickey Blue Eyes," "Prom Queen," and "Run Ronnie Run." A much-sought-after talk show guest, Scott has made numerous appearances on such shows as "Politically Incorrect," "Conan O'Brien," "Jimmy Kimmel," "David Letterman" and "Jimmy Fallon." In 2004, he went undercover as former war correspondent Danny Husk on the improvised comedy series "The Husk Report" on Fashion TV. Then in 2005, he hosted the landmark reality series "My Fabulous Gay Wedding" for Global Canada and Logo in the U.S. He took on the host's role once more the following year with the CBC series "Pop Up Royals" as Queen Elizabeth II.
In 2008, the "Kids" went on the road again with a brand-new comedy show consisting of entirely new material. The venture was so rewarding that the quintet decided to create a new television show, which became an eight-part miniseries entitled "Death Comes to Town." It aired early 2013 on CBC in Canada and premiered on August 20th, 2013 on IFC. The series marked the return of the audacious comedy troupe to U.S. television for the first time in 15 years. Scott Thompson starred as Jimmy Price, a master of forensics and technology within the Behavioral Science Unit in "Hannibal."
