GEOFFREY SCOTT IN MEMORIAM
It is with sadness that ShadowGram reports the passing of actor Geoffrey Scott, who portrayed
Sky Rumson, husband of Angelique, on Dark Shadows in 1970 during the Leviathan storyline.
Scott was born on February 22, 1942 in Los Angeles and began his acting career with DS,
followed by another daytime drama, Where The Heart Is in 1972. During his days in New
York, he also appeared on stage with DS co-star Lara Parker in the musical Lulu.
Returning to Los Angeles, Scott became most famous with a two-year run on the primetime
serial Dynasty in the 1980s. He also co-starred in the series Cliffhangers and made guest
appearances on numerous programs such as Murder She Wrote, Murphy Brown, Adam-12,
Barnaby Jones, Night Court, Cannon, Fantasy Island, She's The Sheriff and Battle of the
Network Stars. Scott was also a regular on the HBO comedy First & Ten.
Additionally, Scott was seen in dozens of television commercials, most notably as the
Marlboro Man in advertisements for the cigarette brand.
His television film and motion picture credits include The Morning After, River of No Return,
Concrete Cowboys, The Dark Side of Innocence and The Hulk.
Scott passed away on February 23 in Colorado where he had spent his retirement years
enjoying skiing. He is survived by his wife and twin sons.
Although his schedule never allowed him to attend a Dark Shadows Festival, Scott did
participate in a video interview which can be seen as a bonus feature on the Dark Shadows
Collection 19 DVD release from MPI Home Video.
