I have appeared with the Mayhem Poets on the TODAY SHOW, EYEWITNESS NEWS, PLUM TV and most recently the “Alternate Routes” campaign for FIAT. I’ve been featured solo in commercials for AXE HAIR, SNICKERS, TIME WARNER CABLE, PINNACLE MEDICAL BILLING, and CW-X sports wear, an infomercial for the GREAT VALUE VACATIONS and a handful of shorts and features. Some of my favorite roles onstage have been BENEDICK in Much Ado About Nothing, SIR TOBY BELCH in Twelfth Night, GEORGE HAY in Moon Over Buffalo, SWIFT in Words, Words, Words, HENRY HARRY in Brilliant Traces, POP in Snap, Crackle Pop, 3 VERSIONs of SCOTT in Masque, IRA STONE in Laughter on the 23rd Floor, ROY in Buried and MAX in Bent. I am always looking to collaborate with other actors/directors/dancers/poets/stilt walkers/magicians and more. scottravent@gmail.com

NEW STREET POETS at the International Fringe Festival 2007
“New Street Poets is the rarest of rare shows. A spoken word play written and performed by six different poets who can also act, it addresses a familiar issue with amazingly new voices. The language was so alive that I clung to its every word, and a great deal of it stayed with me after the show was over. This is a play that any theatre or poetry lover should rush to see…”
“Scott Tarazevits’s Spot is slick and adorable at the same time…”

LAUGHTER on the 23rd FLOOR at the Cabaret Theater
“The individual performances also boasted some striking talent. Most notable of the bunch was Scott Tarazevits’ hyperactive hypochondriac Ira Stone, whose dynamic physicality almost stole the show. The highlight of Act One was definitely his childish but hysterical funny-name showdown of Jewish versus Irish humor with Doyle.”
