Scotch got his start as a writer and performance artist; his live works have appeared at the L.A. Performing Arts Center, MOCA, LACE, HIGHWAYS, Santa Monica Museum of Art, DA Gallery, the Claremont Graduate School, and the University of California. A former protégé of 1970s L.A. performance art cult figure John White, Scotch co-founded L.A.'s improv Kung Fu Theatre and Fisheye Mongrel groups in the mid-90s and he works increasingly in film and TV--he played an overgrown sex baby in the indie OUTER SUNSET, and literally folded himself into a killer's suitcase for the late-night TV commercial HACKSAW that received high marks from SHOOT magazine. Following a two-year stint as a radio announcer for 1340 KKAM in Fresno, California, Scotch moved to San Francisco's untamed Tenderloin district where he helped attract a swarm of press from CNN, NBC, FOX, NPR, Maxim, the Washington Post, and the New York Times as the junkie spokesman for cracked-out coffee company Meth Coffee.
