Scott Gardiner - Radical Optimism Entertainment

Meet Scott

I'm kind of a big deal. - Ron Burgundy

Like a lot of kids who grew up in Los Angeles, I caught the acting bug early. I was a failed childhood actor with a few very impressive "almosts." There was no big Hollywood ending, however.

My biggest opportunity ended up on the cutting room floor — back when that was a real, physical place.

Welcome to adulthood. It's disappointing. - Red Forman

I kept acting through high school at one of the best drama programs in LA… until my very pragmatic father sat me down and flexed his parental muscle and college checkbook. You see where this is going...

Call me sometime when you have no class. - Thornton Melon

So, I majored in practicality and skipped off into Corporate America.

Excuse me. I believe you have my stapler. - Milton Waddams

Then one day, Corporate America kicked me squarely in the chestnuts. Suddenly unemployed. Overqualified. Extremely available.

The first draft of anything is shit.. - Ernest Hemmingway

So, with nothing but time, anxiety, and a creative itch that never really went away, I thought: why the hell not? Instead of writing the Great American Novel, I decided to write scripted television. Which feels pretty on-brand for an LA kid who never really left the stage

We tried nothing...and we are all out of ideas. - Nedward Flanders

And honestly… it beats filling out online job applications all day.
