Scott Scurlock
Scott Scurlock (March 5, 1955 – November 28, 1996) born William Scott Scurlock in Reston, Virginia was the son of a minister. He was nicknamed the Hollywood Bandit (or simply Hollywood). He got this nickname due to being primarily known for being involved in bank robberies in the Seattle area during the 1990s and the fact that he used acting disguises. Using Hollywood quality make-up he successfully robbed 17 banks plus his last attempt which succeeded, but ended in his death during the getaway attempt.
==1970s and 1980s ==
In 1974 Scurlock moved to Hawaii from Virginia and reunited with his friend Kevin Meyers, who went to the University of Hawaii. After Meyers's lack of success in college, he and Scurlock ended up on the island of Oahu living and working on a five-acre tomato farm. In 1976, while hiking, Scurlock and Meyers came across a small marijuana farm on the property of one of the neighbors. Scurlock and Meyers took a number of smaller marijuana plants which they subsequently weighed, bagged, and sold. They hadn't planned on being involved in the drug trade after that, but Scurlock, liking the easy money he made, planted his own marijuana plants hidden on the tomato farm. When their Landlord at the tomato farm found out, the two were kicked off the property. Shortly afterwards, Scurlock left Hawaii and moved to Olympia, Washington. It was here, in 1978, that he enrolled at Evergreen State College where he dreamed of becoming a doctor. He excelled in college, including chemistry classes. It was a result of this that Scurlock began sneaking into the school chemistry lab at night through the ceilings to make methamphetamines, which he subsequently sold. With the money he made dealing meth, he was able to buy twenty acres of secluded land near Olympia that had a small house on it. He used the house for meth production, and built a three-story treehouse on the property, which he bragged he and others built in only two weeks, working day and night "due to being high on meth".〔48 Hours, "End of a Dream," first aired 10/19/2008〕 The treehouse included an extra large fireplace, outdoor bathtub, and an emergency escape using rope lines to zip through the woods. Scurlock, who bore a striking resemblance to Mel Gibson, was popular with friends that he referred to as "his tribe," who would do almost anything for him. Scurlock hired Steve Meyers — Kevin's brother, a successful sculptor who was struggling after a bitter divorce — to come to Washington and do work on his treehouse. Steve Meyers transformed the treehouse and said that when he arrived, "there was nothing in the house that was conscientiously designed, that's very much what Scott was like ...". Scurlock had an open and free demeanor and is videotaped extensively in the buff. Scurlock traveled extensively, had no shortage of girlfriends, and enjoyed the finest restaurants and champagne; he was known by local waitresses to always leave a $100 tip. Scurlock dropped out of school due to the money the drug business was making for him. That ended in 1989 when Scurlock's main distributor was murdered. As a result, Scurlock decided that the drug business was too dangerous and quit immediately. When asked by a friend about his (Scurlock's) biggest priority being money, he replied, "No, no. All that does is let you live life a little easier.". However, Scurlock had to have an income, so he needed to come up with another solution.〔48 Hours, End of a Dream, first aired 10/19/2008〕〔Ann Rule, ''The End of the Dream'', The Golden Boy Who Never Grew Up'', ISBN 0-671-79357-8〕
