Early Life

Tony Scott was born Anthony David Leighton Scott on June 21, 1944, in Tynemouth, Northumberland, North East England. He was the son of Elizabeth and Colonel Francis Percy Scott, and his father served in the Corps of Royal Engineers. Tony's grand-uncle, Dixon Scott, opened several movie theaters in Tyneside. Scott had two older brothers, Ridley and Frank. Ridley is an Academy Award-nominated director and producer known for films such as "Alien," "Thelma & Louise," "Gladiator," "Black Hawk Down," and "American Gangster," and Frank, a former member of the Merchant Navy, died of skin cancer in 1980. Tony attended Rosebank School and West Hartlepool College of Art, and he earned a fine arts degree from Sunderland Art School. When he was 16, Scott appeared in Ridley's directorial debut, the short film "Boy and Bicycle," which was filmed in 1962 and released in 1965.

In 1969, Tony made the short film "One of the Missing," which was based on the Ambrose Bierce story of the same name, and he cast Ridley in the project. Scott studied with Raymond Durgnat at the Royal College of Art, where he starred in the student film "Don't Walk." In 2012, Tony spoke to "The Hollywood Reporter" about that time in his life, stating, "I was finishing eight years at art school, and Ridley had opened Ridley Scott Associates and said, 'Come and make commercials and make some money' — because I owed money left and right and center.' My goal was to make films; but I got sidetracked into commercials and then I took off — I had 15 years [making them], and it was a blast. We were very prolific, and that was our training ground: You'd shoot 100 days in a year, then we gravitated from that to film."
