Seann William Scott was born in the small town of Cottage Grove, Minnesota on October 3rd, 1976.

Seann attended Park High School, where he was voted most friendly by his classmates. Also, he was homecoming king. He played sports and was a running back for the football team. He graduated and decided to head out to California to pursue his love of films. He hadn't even acted in a play, but he loved movies.

He tried out for Baywatch, among other things, but wasn't cast. Scott had an accent when he moved from his home to Cally. Sometimes that prevented him from getting jobs, but he worked on improving the way he spoke.

In time, he landed a role in the television series Sweet Valley High. He also played a football player in the "Hole in My Soul" video by the rock group Aerosmith, a surfer in the comedy series Unhappily Ever After, and he also appeared in Something So Right. He was also featured in the tv movie Born into Exile. Then he auditioned for American Pie. The Weitz brothers, who directed and produced the movie, saw a talent. They let Seann even give ideas on how the character should be. Scott has been quoted as saying,"I didn't want to be the guy you loved to hate. That was too easy. I wanted him to be the guy you hated to love."

He wasn't even sure that the acting thing would pan out, but then he landed the role in Final Destination, which changed his opinion of his future in the movie business. He has been in the movies Road Trip, Dude Where's My Car?, Evolution, American Pie 2, Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back, and other movies. Next up for this talented actor are roles in the anticipated Richard Kelly movie Southland Tales and voice over work in the computerized animated picture sequel Ice Age 2.

His last movies include Southland Tales (2006) and Mr. Woodcock (2007).
