L. Scott Caldwell, or “Scotty” as she is also known, has been a working actress for 40+ years, from Chicago to New York to LA, and many other places! In fact, right after we chatted, she was off to shoot episodes of Facebook’s Sacred Lies, ABC’s A Million Little Things, and HBO’s Insecure. She stays busy! Scotty has over 100 onscreen credits, including recurring characters on Lost, The Secret Life of the American Teenager, Southland, Queens Supreme, and PBS’ Original Series Mercy Street.
Just a bit of what we cover in this episode with Scotty:
Her experience and awareness of the Civil Rights Movement in Chicago Working on the play A Raisin in the Sun several times The impact of watching very strong women on film The personal rejection she experienced being fired and the breakdown she had What she took from studying with Uta Hagen, and the one item she uses consistently
Scotty and I ended up talking mostly about her early years, leading up to her first film role, and it’s such a fascinating journey, filled with excitement, doubt, challenges, and rewards.
