Full Scott Caan Biography
Muscular, swaggering, and tough, Scott Caan gives every indication of becoming a "man's-man" like his father, legendary actor James Caan. While it is obvious that he admires tough method actors like Marlon Brando and Sean Penn; James Caan's eldest son also has a strong egalitarian streak, evidenced by his reasoning for baring his bod in the film Varsity Blues (1999). He is quoted as saying that originally only the women in the scene were to be nude, but that he felt it "really sexist", so "he stripped too."
Raised being shuttled between his parent's homes (his mom is actress and model 'Sheila Ryan' ; the Caan's divorced when Scott was a year old,) Scott benefitted from his father's hands-on approach to child rearing (the elder Caan reportedly took a five-year hiatus to coach all of his son's little league teams.) Scott has appeared in a handful of independent films such as Last Resort, The (1997), Nowhere (1997), Nowhere to Go (1998), and Bongwater (1998) and has been improving his craft with each of his mainstream entries. Scott Caan is one of the best of the current crop of second-generation actors. |

Additional Scott Caan Biography
Caan was born in Los Angeles, California to actor James Caan and Sheila Ryan, an actress and former model. His paternal grandparents were Jewish immigrants from Germany. His parents divorced a year after his birth; he has four half-siblings from his father's other marriages.
Caan was a roadie for the rap groups Cypress Hill and House of Pain, and was a member of the hip-hop group The Whooliganz (with producer and fellow emcee, The Alchemist), before enrolling at the Playhouse West acting school in Los Angeles.
