Breakfast With Scot

This all-round comedy crowd pleaser explores the strength in blended families. 

Eric McNally (Golden Globe-nominee Tom Cavanagh from TV’s Ed) is an ex-hockey pro turned sportscaster hiding the true nature of his relationship with lawyer boyfriend Sam (Ben Shenkman from Law and Order). Secrets aside, life’s good — until the guys suddenly become guardians of Sam’s eccentric nephew, Scot.

Scot is not like most 11 year olds, his love of flamboyant clothes and a preference for musicals above sport is a challenge to a macho, sports-loving household. With the death of his mother, Scot finds a temporary home with his uncle Sam but his effeminate antics provoke difficulties wherever he goes.

Noah Bernett turns in a terrific performance as Scot, and his refusal to compromise will raise a cheer from anyone who has had to fight for acceptance.
