Marshall was born and raised in
Los Angeles, California, the son of Barbara ( Wells), a nurse, and
Garry Marshall; he is also the nephew of
Penny Marshall. Scott had an interest in film since his childhood as his father recalled of his son's early efforts in film, "I'd make him a little wooden airplane and he would take it immediately and burn it, and start to film it, flaming, crashing!". Also, "Later, we got a pool and he would get his friends to drink tomato juice and then he'd shoot at them and they would dive in the pool and the tomato juice would come out. It ruined the pool." == Career ==
