Scott Michael Elrod[2] (born February 10, 1975) is an American actor.

Elrod was born into an American military family in Bitburg, Germany.

He relocated to Los Angeles, in April 2004, to pursue a career in acting.

Eventually, his performances in small parts in CSI: NY, Days of Our Lives, and the “Nothing In This World” music video by Paris Hilton, brought him to the attention of the casting crew of Men in Trees, in which he played the part of Anne Heche's friend, occasional roommate, and sometimes love interest "Cash".

In December 2015, Elrod announced he and fiancée, Vanessa Vazart, were expecting a child together.
