I went to a performing arts college at 16 and very quickly got an agent who started sending me for auditions. The first time I ever went to London was for the dream team audition when I was 17!

2) Who would you love to meet and have a chat with .. Dead or Alive and why?
I'd love to meet and have a chat with a few people. Including Sean Penn and kiefer sutherland. Just to go for a beer and listen to some of the stories they must have!

3) What football team do you support?
I am a Man United fan.

4) What do you like to do in your spare time?
I like to spend time with my 7 month old son in my spare time, he is pretty amazing and it's top watching him learn new things every day.

5) What type of music do you like, and what was the last album you bought?
My music taste is massively varied! I have on my ipod everything from Biggy to The Drifters to Adele to Johnny Cash to Jay Z and all the way back again.

6) Who have been the biggest influences in your life and career?
The biggest influences on my life have been my family and friends if I'm honest. I've worked with a lot of genuinely talented performers and I have learned a lot from them and my career is influenced by every one of them. I like to take a lesson off every person I work with.

7) What was your best moment filming Dream Team?
I absolutely loved when we went to Ireland and filmed a live football game. 12000 people turned up, I had my own body guard and I had to score the winning penalty in the shoot out!! Afterwards the crowd invaded the pitch and it took me 30 minutes to get back to the dressing room!! Absolutely brilliant!!

8) Who were your best friends on Dream Team?
I got on with everyone on the show, I still see Ali King every now and then and I am friends with a lot of the supporting actors who played the footballers on the show.

9) What have you been in since Dream Team ended?
I've done allsorts since I left including 4 years on The Royal for ITV and a comedy sketch show for BBC3 called Scallywagga. I also just finished 6 months on Emmerdale for ITV and I will be filming a part in a new sitcom in November called Starlings for Sky 1!! I also do some stand up comedy which you can find on YouTube if you type in scott taylor comedy songs!!

10) Do you have any new filming projects coming up you can tell us about?
