Biography
With his boyish good looks and a knack for sarcasm, actor Seann William Scott found his niche as a comedic smart-aleck in his first major film role. Plucked from virtual obscurity, Scott was perfectly cast as Steven Stifler, the jerky friend everyone loved to hate in the teen sex-comedy hit "American Pie" (1999). Along with most of his fellow castmates, the young actor quickly appeared in a slew of youth-oriented film fare, including the slacker comedy "Dude, Where's My Car?" (2000), co-starring Ashton Kutcher, and the successful "American Pie" sequels. Scott began branching out into action-adventure territory - all the while maintaining his signature wise guy persona - in such projects as "Bulletproof Monk" (2003) and "The Rundown" (2003), pairing him with co-stars like Chow Yun-Fat and Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, respectively. Movies like the big screen adaptation of "The Dukes of Hazzard" (2005) made the most of Scott's athleticism and comic chops. Scott also voiced the character Crash in the "Ice Age" animated movies, and starred in Canadian hockey comedy-drama "Goon" (2011) and its sequel, "Goon: Last of the Enforcers" (2017). He also appeared in "Super Troopers 2" (2018). In 2018, Scott joined the cast of the TV reboot of "Lethal Weapon" (Fox, 2016- ) in the starring role of Wesley Cole following the departure of previous series star Clayne Crawford.
