Steve Scott

Background

Steve Scott is an eccentric film director who frequents the parties of Vice City's criminal elite while hunting for anyone willing to fund his films. He works out of InterGlobal Films on Prawn Island, an adult film studio that becomes one of Tommy Vercetti's businesses.

Steve sees himself as a serious artist forced to work with small budgets. He talks about cinema with grand ambition, yet his studio's output is aimed squarely at the adult market. The arrival of Tommy Vercetti as owner gives him the money and muscle to promote his new film properly.

Events of GTA Vice City

• Once Tommy buys InterGlobal Films, Steve starts directing a new adult feature and turns to Tommy whenever production hits a problem.
• In Recruitment Drive, Steve needs actresses. Tommy brings in Candy Suxxx and Mercedes Cortez.
• In Dildo Dodo, the studio is not allowed to hand out promotional leaflets, so Tommy flies a Skimmer seaplane over the city dropping them from the air.
• In Martha's Mug Shot, Congressman Alex Shrub is campaigning against the adult film industry. Tommy follows Candy to a Vice Point penthouse and photographs Shrub in a compromising situation for blackmail.
• In G-Spotlight, Steve reminisces about old Hollywood premieres. Tommy rides a PCJ-600 through a Downtown office building and across rooftops to reach a giant searchlight, which he aims at a neighboring tower to advertise the film.
• Each of his four missions pays more than the last, from $1,000 for Recruitment Drive to $8,000 for G-Spotlight, after which the studio becomes a steady earner for Tommy.

Personality

Steve is pretentious, dramatic and full of artistic talk, even about the low-budget films he actually makes. He is easily flustered and depends on Tommy to solve every practical problem.

He is easily distracted by his own ideas and quick to panic when something goes wrong, from missing actresses to legal threats. He relies on Tommy to fix every practical problem, from recruiting the cast to dealing with a congressman.

His reminiscences about old Hollywood premieres in G-Spotlight inspire Tommy's idea of using a giant searchlight to promote the film.

Trivia
