Aziz Ghazal's beginnings as a filmmaker was when he attended USC Film School and ran the stock room for just over ten years. It was during this period that he made short films and had free use of the school's equipment to attempt to make his own films. During this period, Ghazal wrote and produced schlock horror film Zombie High (1987) and _Natural History Of Parking Lots (1990)_. For the latter he used students at USC to his advantage to help with the making of the film and demanded that their involvement earn degree credits. In 1992, Ghazil was introduced to The Brave, a novel by Gregory McDonald by his friend Paul McCudden who liked the book. Ghazil was to direct, from a script by McCudden and author McDonald offered a one year option on his book.
In late 1993, Ghazil broke into his ex-wife Becky's house and beat her to death, as well as his daughter Khadijah, and then set the house on fire. Ghazal disappeared, and was discovered dead in January of 1994 by hikers. He had shot himself with a .380 calibre pistol. A note was found inside his abandoned car that read "You can never know the pain you caused me" as well as a copy of The Brave. Johnny Depp later wrote, directed and starred in his own version of the book _The Brave (1997)_.- A tall, amiable, good-looking, wavy-haired singer and actor during the 1930s, Scott Kolk (born Walter Scott Kolk), later known as Scott Colton, was born in Baltimore, Maryland, of privilege and attended that city's McDonough Academy. Following his father's death, the family moved to a farm in Portland, Maine where he later studied at Thornton Academy.
He began his career singing in orchestras and made his Broadway debut in the musical "Take the Air" in 1927. He met Hearst paramour Marion Davies while singing in Venice, Italy and she cast him in a featured part in both the silent and talking versions of her movie Marianne (1929).
Showing great promise, Universal signed him and he appeared opposite Laura La Plante in Hold Your Man (1929) and then scored a supporting soldier role in the classic anti-war drama All Quiet on the Western Front (1930) as well as the William Powell vehicle For the Defense (1930).
A lull in film work occurred and he relocated to the East Coast appearing on Broadway for the next several years, including the plays "Brief Moment," "Personal Appearance" and "Baby Pompadour". Universal later starred him in the serial cliffhanger Secret Agent X-9 (1937) and in The Wildcatter (1937), in which the studio changed his name to Scott Colton, which he kept.
Dropped by the studio, he was later picked up by Columbia, who cast him in very minor "B" film fare such as Murder in Greenwich Village (1937), All American Sweetheart (1937), Little Miss Roughneck (1938), Women in Prison (1938) and Extortion (1938). Following an unbilled appearance in I Am the Law (1938), Scott abandoned Hollywood.
Aside from Broadway and stock productions (including "I Must Love Someone" and "Watch on the Rhine"), Scott Colton happily spent the rest of his life in Maine. He did work as a radio announcer and at one point became a ranger.
Married three times, Scott Colton died at age 88 and was interred at Lakeview Cemetery in Wilton, Maine. - Actor
