Sarah Scott Davis

Born in Champaign, Illinois into an environment infused with musicality, education and art. Sarah quickly absorbed the culture of creativity. At the age of 4, Sarah began watching soap operas with her grandmother, while her mother was at work. Intrigued by the attention her grandmother paid to the daytime dramas, Sarah began imitating characters, acting out scenes, and breaking into song in attempts to entertain her family while unsuspectingly shaping her future. Before Sarah could attend the fourth grade, she and her family had already moved from Illinois to Rochester, New York then again to Massachusetts; where Sarah's fascination with creating characters came to fruition when she landed her first role in the elementary school play, "Pippin". As Sarah grew, so did her talents and in high school, Sarah was cast as the principle role in several plays, and as a result won 3 awards in the Boston Globe Theater Competition. After high school, Sarah attended Boston University in the Dreamworks film, "A Thousand Words" starring Eddie Murphy. Coming this summer 2012, Sarah has a recurring role as a hard-nosed reporter in the HBO series "The Newsroom." Sarah is an passionate athlete, a supporter of creative arts and advocate for education and health. She spends her free time training for marathons, reading and building memorable moments with her family.
