Scott PresleyHe studied acting for two years at the New Actors Workshop, New York and later moved to LOs Angeles. A teacher at the Workshop had given him a list of people to contact. One of them was playwright Del Shores.

"Southern Baptist Sissies" was the play Del was working on at that time and because of Scott's background they talked over aspects of the play. The part of Benny, the young guy who turns to drag, came out of these discussions and Scott went on to play the part on stage.

As well as acting he continued with drag and developed the character The Fabulous Belle Aire - a huge hit in Los Angeles with sell out appearances.

He is married to Anthony Cherry.
