Scott Kyle is an award-winning actor, producer, author and speaker whose life story is as compelling as the roles he’s known for. Best recognised for Outlander, Kajaki: The True Story, The Angels’ Share and Billy & Tim—which earned him The Stage Award for Acting Excellence—Scott’s journey has taken him far from his earliest beginnings.

After spending time in foster care as a child, Scott’s life unfolded in unexpected ways—leading him to international screens, creative stages and global audiences.

Leaving school at 16 and working night shifts while chasing his dream of acting, Scott went on to build a career defined by resilience, craft and purpose. Today, he continues acting, writing and producing while dedicating his time to supporting others as both a foster carer and a mentor with MCR Pathways, helping young people find stability, confidence and their own sense of possibility.

His acclaimed new show, It’s Not Where You Start, blends raw storytelling with award-winning animation to explore adversity, opportunity and the power of second chances—earning multiple Best Animation and Best Voice Over awards at the West Lothian Film Festival (2024 & 2025).

Alongside his creative work, Scott is a sought-after speaker on resilience, equity, wellbeing, organisational culture and trauma-informed leadership. Through keynotes, workshops and panels, he combines powerful lived experience with practical, evidence-informed insights to help organisations build environments where people feel valued, understood and able to thrive. His approach unites storytelling, compassion and people-centred advocacy, leaving audiences both inspired and equipped for meaningful change.

Scott is also deeply committed to education and youth development. He delivers professional acting workshops worldwide and leads long-standing schools projects across the UK and Europe, creating opportunities for young people to build confidence, creativity and belonging.

Whether on screen, on stage or in the community, Scott Kyle brings authenticity, emotional intelligence and a belief that the most unlikely beginnings can lead to the most extraordinary journeys.
