Scott Wise (born October 30, 1958) is an American theatre actor and dancer. He is known for his performances in the 1989 musical Jerome Robbins' Broadway, which earned him a Tony Award, and in the 2002 film Chicago.
Although a life-trained dancer, Wise first became seriously interested in dance as a career while studying to become an accountant at the University of Idaho at Moscow.[2] He performed with the Joffrey II, then moved into musical theater in the early 1980s after auditioning for A Chorus Line "as a dare more than anything."[1]
Wise is married to dancer Elizabeth Parkinson, with whom he has a son.[9] His daughter, actress Savannah Wise, is from his first marriage, to dancer and choreographer Kiel Junius.[10]
In October 2006, Wise and Parkinson opened their studio, FineLine Theatre Arts, in New Milford, Connecticut.[11]
