Accent

Why does he have such an awful "English accent" in Desperate Housewives? He sounds like he is part of the British Raj or something. Terrible stuff. 89.213.55.149 23:07, 3 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

My thoughts exactly. I thought he might have been American, but Scottish? I would have expected a better effort from a Scotsman. 82.69.37.32 21:21, 25 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

i thought he was irish from mi2...but he's such a good actor not to mention so good looking this flaw is minute in comparison. the title of desperate turns me off just like sex in... i've not seen either. i do want 2 c more of douray however... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.178.55.167 (talk) 09:36, 8 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Auchmuchty school reference

Surely we can find a better reference than "Porn probe teacher resigns"? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2.101.51.128 (talk) 20:59, 11 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Film Debut?

The article states that his film debut was Twin Town, then starts the list of screen credits with Princess Caraboo, a film apparently made a good three years earlier… Was Twin Town made first, but released only after sitting on the shelf for a few years, or is the initial statement incorrect?

Born November 26? Only The Sun gives this date among our cites.

Two of the other sources cited in the article give his birthday as November 25, as does IMDB. Only the source (1) and one other say November 26. (mom.me/horoscopes) Any criteria for establishing a definitive date? https://www.bing.com/search?q=dougray+scott+birthday&pc=MOZI&form=MOZSBR (25th) https://www.famousbirthdays.com/people/dougray-scott.html (25th) http://www.filmreference.com/film/80/Dougray-Scott.html (25th) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2600:8807:480A:1900:9C6C:CEE8:4F76:945 (talk) 23:32, 2 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Those are not reliable sources. I'm not finding anything that would help, and The Sun isn't much better. --Ronz (talk) 04:13, 3 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Allegations of abusive behavior

Why is this section in Scott's biography when the allegations were totally unfounded? The title is so incriminating and people nowadays find celebrities guilty until proven innocent and the mud still sticks. The lesbian woman who made the allegations was removed by the studio for her own unacceptable behaviour, which seems to indicate that the accusations were probably malicious. This is an encyclopedia not a tabloid magazine. Andrew ranfurly (talk) 22:51, 14 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
