In December 2010 the actor revealed that he has been directing some episodes of ''Neighbours'' with the help of an existing ''Neighbours'' television director, although it is currently unclear if he has been credited for the episodes. Major has admitted that he finds the directing part of his job "very tough to fit it in with the acting" because he is "running from location to location and getting the scene shot and then putting a different hat on and directing a scene."〔 Of his decision to take on the new role, Major has said "I want to do it all. I also do a lot of writing. I write my own plays and put them on, direct and produce them. Australia is a very small industry acting-wise. I've been doing it professionally for 21 years and you just have to have more strings to your bow than acting."〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Scott Major」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
