Biography
Scott Wolf is perhaps most recognizable as a member of the unusually talented young ensemble cast of Fox's television series
Party of Five. Like castmates
Neve Campbell,
Jeremy London,
Jennifer Love Hewitt, and Michael Goorjian, Wolf has a promising film career.
Born in Boston, MA, but raised in West Orange, NJ, Wolf attended George Washington University and earned a degree in finance. Wolf's entry into dramatics was facilitated by family friend and former actor Clint Brady, who thought the youth had a natural gift for acting. Wolf took his advice and studied acting at New York's HB Studio and then studied under Robert Carnegie at Playhouse West in California. He started out on television, appearing in several commercials and then graduated to bit parts and guest-starring roles on series ranging from
Saved By the Bell to
The Commish. Wolf was cast as Bailey Salinger, the second-oldest of five orphaned children on
Party of Five in 1994. Wolf made his feature film debut with a supporting role in
Double Dragon (1994). ~ Sandra Brennan, All Movie Guide
