The middle son of Ann Collins (Gilmour), Skoti Collins was born in Baillieston, Scotland. Skoti relocated to Los Angeles in 1985 at the age of 17 but wasn't immediately drawn into show business. Instead he enjoyed a successful career in sales. It was lifelong friend and fellow Scot Tommy Flanagan who persuaded Skoti to give the movie industry a try and Skoti was instantly hooked. Since 2008 he has carved out a respectable career in multiple roles within the industry. Only one year into his new career, Skoti wrote the successful Deadliest Warrior: IRA vs Taliban (2009). Additionally Skoti has written, produced and directed a number of music videos for global artists. Skoti also presents a radio show 'The Hollywood Report' with good friend and fellow Scot Kevin Cameron. Skoti currently owns and operates Skoti Collins Productions.
