A graduate of the Carnegie Mellon School of Drama, Cott took on the role of Kelly in 2012, not long after graduating. Three years later he took on the role of Gaston Lachaille in Gigi, and in 2017 he appeared as a World War II veteran Donny Novitski in the Tony Award-winning musical Bandstand. In addition to his stage work, Cott has also appeared in television and film. ~ James Christopher Monger, Rovi
