Film Actor/Producer Real Name - Davit Bakhsoliani

His father, Shalva Bakhsoliani, moved to the U.S. shortly before the first world war and used what little money he had to purchase some land in California. He had planned on farming, but the land was quite poor and very little would grow. The land was dry, rocky, and almost poisonous. However, after struggling for several years it was found that the land was on top of oil and the small family made a fortune during the early oil boom of the 20's. Davit, before the success of the oil boom, had taken work as an extra in Hollywood. Davit, now Robert Scott as it would look better on a marquee, came in at an opportune time as the film industry was switching from silent film to the talkies. Robert had slowly built himself up from being a random extra in the background of restaurants, galas, and gunfights to 'speaking' roles in the silent flicks. He was handsome, he was diligent, he looked good on camera.. but most importantly.. he sounded good. Many of the silent film stars were left to the annuls of history when the industry moved forward and Robert was in-line to take a major role. He has since used his families wealth to fund his own production company that focuses on utilizing minorities as more than just roles such as villains, temptresses, and servants. The films do earn some profit, but the bulk of the proceeds go towards funding the next project. Robert could earn more of a profit by paying the actors considerably less, as the other companies did, but he pays his people an equal amount as their fellow actors. Robert is a virulent anti-communist and anti-fascist with many of his movies subtly warning viewers of the dangers they face should they join either movement. Robert came from classic Hollywood where many of the actors had to do their own stunts and often their own make-up, so while many treat him as pretty bauble he actually houses some useful skills.. or he can act like he has them.

He met the daughter through some function where movie stars shine and rich people fawn. The two hit it off and became friends as many of their interests allied
