Scott Elrod

Scott Elrod is an actor who was born in Germany, moved around the Philippines, and was raised mostly in Parker, Colorado. After graduation he earned his pilot license and worked as an air traffic controller, and he also raced motorcycles. He took many jobs, including delivering pizza and laying runways at Denver International Airport. His looks brought him into modeling, and with a friend he started a marketing company; he later became a sales executive at a technology company. Unhappy in that work, he decided acting was his calling after watching Top Gun. He moved to Los Angeles and began acting classes six days a week. Small roles on CSI: NY (2004) and Days of Our Lives (1965) drew the attention of the casting team for Men in Trees (2006), on which he played Cash, the love interest of Anne Heche's character.
