Caan  was born in Los Angeles, California, in 1976.  He is the son of James Caan, well known for his role in the "Godfather" movies. His mother, Shelia Ryan, has been an actress and a Heformer model. He has proven himself a very talented second generation actor. His parents divorced when he was only 1 and he spent his time between his two parents. He has one son and took five years off to be more involved with his son and to coach all of his son's little league teams.

Scott has admired Marlan Brando and Sean Penn, both tough actors.  But, he does enjoy showing off his body, when appropriate. But he is not sexist.  In the movie "Varsity Blues," originally only the women in the scene were supposed to be nude, but he felt it "really sexist", so "he stripped too". (Sorry no pictures of that allowed here.) But, you will find some lovely chest pictures.!

When Scott decided he wanted to be an actor, he enrolled at the Playhouse West acting school in Los Angeles and began acting in the 1990's. He appeared in numerous play as well as movies. He made is debut as a director in the film "Dallas 361" and won a prize at the 2003 Las Vegas Film Festival.

He has also been interested in photography and was trained by cinematographer Phil Parmet, whom he met wile filming "Dallas 362."  Scott states,

"Phil inspired me to learn about lenses, lights, frames, and the operation of a 250 millimeter camera. By the time the film was over, I wanted to shoot the next one." He loved it so much that in 2009 he published his first collection of photographs. It appears he is very talented. I found some of his photos on the Internet and they are wonderful.
