Andrew Alfred Scott, better known as Drew Scott, was born in Vancouver, Canada. Drew is the youngest of three boys. His father, Jim Scott, worked in the film industry as an actor and assistant director until the late 70s, when he decided to focus on raising his family. Drew's mother, Joanne, worked as a paralegal in downtown Vancouver. Twin brother, Jonathan Silver Scott, is an accomplished actor, host and illusionist. Older brother J.D. Scott, who also shares a love for film and production, resides in Las Vegas where he focuses on writing.
At a young age Drew began acting in theater, improv and sketch comedy. His television appearances have included roles on Smallville (2001), Classe croisière (1997) & Madison (1993). Drew developed an interest in directing and producing. The brothers began investing in real estate as a means for funding projects. This proved to be a successful venture which later led the Scott brothers to incorporate the Dividian Production Group in 2004. Through DPG, Drew has produced several films which have toured the festival circuit. He has produced film and TV galas and events like the Leo Film & TV Awards in Hollywood North and the Producers Ball during the Toronto International Film Festival.
His latest project is co-hosting the hit HGTV show Property Brothers (2011) with his twin, Jonathan. The series focuses on helping families get into their dream homes without breaking their budget. Property Brothers (2011) is a perfect project for Drew since it blends two of his passions: real estate investment & TV production.
Another passion for Drew is his philanthropic efforts. From working with the Children's Hospitals to coordinating initiatives to help underprivileged youth, he demonstrates the importance of giving back. Most recently, he collaborated with the network of artists involved in Paul Haggis Artists for Peace and Justice, a non-profit organization that supports communities in Haiti through programs in education and health.
