Scott Scarboro grew up wanting to be Wonder Woman. There was little shock around the dinner table when he told his family he was gay. Scott decided to take career path #2 instead, and become an actor. Growing up just outside of Raleigh, North Carolina, in a town called Rolesville, Scott enjoyed high school with his many friends. But the town had only one stoplight and little artistic flair, so Scott headed west and hasn't looked back. Scott sends his love and thanks to all involved in Cooking with Kay. Scott can't wait for the folks back home to see this one.
