Scott Wadsworth MacArthur (born August 6, 1979) is an American actor and writer. He is best known for playing Jimmy Shepherd, a main character on the FOX comedy series The Mick.[1][2] MacArthur was initially hired as a writer for the series.[3] The Jimmy character was played by Nat Faxon in the original pilot for The Mick, with the knowledge that Faxon would not be able to continue in the role if the pilot got picked up to series, given his other commitments. After offering the role to MacArthur, FOX re-shot the pilot prior to the series debut.[1]

MacArthur has also appeared in films, such as The Diabolical (2015) and Answers to Nothing (2011), as well as numerous guest roles on television.[4]
