Not to take anything away from Tom, he an excellent sax player, but if his father Nathan Scott wasn't a prolific film and television composer who had more than 850 television credits and more than 100 film credits as a composer, Tom may have not had the opportunity to enrich our lives with is playing.



I didn't know that, jeesh it never ends. May not? I would say 99.5% not. Being good, reliable, a great person is not enough. Just the other day I'm watching the credits at the end of a Law and Order episode and one of the names tickled the old brain cells, Mariska Hargitay. I looked her up and sure enough, she's Jane Mansfield's daughter. She kept her fathers name, Mickey Hargitay. He was the Arnold of his time, a champion body builder and playboy movie star (but not as big as Arnold) who married the sex bomb. This goes back to how surprised I was to read Nicholas Cage is Francis Ford Coppola's nephew. The thing is I'm sure most of these people are embarassed about their connection so on the one hand they used the connection to get ahead but kept the other name so us plebes wouldn't know until they've become such big stars nobody cares. Angelina Jolie is another one, the list is endless if we all got together over some beers about it.

Is there anybody in Hollywood who isn't connected including most of the crew? I really doubt it, if we think someone isn't connected it just means we haven't dug deeply enough.
