Born in San Francisco in 1960, Scott has always had an unusual outlook on life: He who dies with the most toys wins.

From the time he was 5 he was a collector of "stuff" and would do just about anything to get his collecting itch scratched. Over the years his multiple collections were abandoned so he could focus on his one major collection: Strange Movie Promotional Objects and Pin-back buttons. He is currently the curator of the Internet based Movie Promo Museum in Santa Monica, the largest repository of weird movie promotional giveaways & gimmicks in the world.

At age 15, Scott attended a giant Star Trek convention in San Diego with his dad, Milton Weiss. It was here he first noticed his Dad's natural schmoozing skills as well his ability to talk his way into any part of the convention. He simply looked like he belonged or told people he was there to "pick up his son". He also struck up a conversation at a restaurant with two of Scott's heroes - Jimmy Doohan (Scotty) and George Takai (Sulu) -and invited them to join him and his star-struck son for lunch, which they did. That meal and weekend changed Scott's life.

Eventually, Scott stopped paying to shop at conventions. He would sneak into the show by carrying an empty box through the kitchen loading dock at hotels, get first crack at the dealer's room, grab as much free stuff as possible and be on his way before the show’s doors had even opened. Scott had perfected the Zelig-like art of looking like he belonged.

Scott studied acting in high school & college (Cal-Arts) in part because of his love for Star Trek and his wish to become the first Jewish Star Ship Captain. Many years would go by before he would realize that William Shatner had beat him to the punch by already being Jewish.

Scott was a natural born salesman and used these skills in his various careers, Fuller Brush Salesman, Actor, Collectible dealer, Realtor, Real Estate Appraiser and Party Crasher.

In the winter of 1992 he stumbled onto a public access TV Show hosted by a local party crasher. To increase his natural skills, Scott hired this man to teach him everything he knew about Party Crashing. From Halloween to New Year's Eve that year, he crashed close to 100 different events and parties, refining his God-given talent into a well-oiled party-crashing machine. Scott’s master’s thesis was attempting to crash the Oscars in early 1993 with no help from his mentor (he was eventually able to talk his way into a balcony seat for the show). Even Scott's party crashing teacher was unable to get a seat. Now the student was teaching the teacher. Scott had become a Party Crashing master.

Though his focus shifted to his family (wife Fariba and his son Aaron) and business, Scott often used his techniques to further his Real Estate career and build his collection by attending industry trade shows, conventions and the occasional party when the whim struck.

In 2007, at the urging of his friends, writer Ron Magid and documentary filmmaker Larry Torro, Scott pulled his Tuxedo and fake ice cubes out of storage to see if he still had the right stuff. His attempts to crash the Emmys, Grammys and Oscars was documented in the film, Crasher.
