Scott Egan was born in New Jersey and has been in the public eye from the very beginning. He was the first 'no-pin' Pampers baby and continued to do commercials as a child. He was discovered by a baseball scout as a sophmore in high school. Scott went on to play professional baseball for the Chicago White Sox, Houston Astros and Milwaukee Brewers. When an arm injury curtailed his sports career, Scott came back to acting. Prior to joining the cast of General Hospital Scott appeared on Just the Ten of Us and Parker Lewis Can't Lose. He read for a contract role on Port Charles but was cast on ABC's flagship daytime drama General Hospital. He has played the character of Johnny, the bodyguard with the dynamic presence, for 7 years. Scott makes the most of his moments on screen much to the delight of his many fans. Recently, Steve Burton cast Scott in the lead role of his independent short Laws of Gambling. Scott plays a young man who get's over his head while trying to pay off his bookies and ends up in a downward spiral. Guest starring roles include appearances on C-16: FBI on ABC, One Life to Live and a pilot High. His baseball abilities served him well when he was asked to play Yankee Bill Stafford in Billy Crystal's 61* on HBO. His other feature film work includes The Other Sister, Ed, Total Action, Free Thinkers and A Divorce Made In Heaven. On stage Scott had performances in Biloxi Blues, A Loss of Roses, A Hatful of Rain and the lead role of Paul in Barefoot In the Park. Scott had the opportunity to perform with his "boss" from General Hospital on stage. Maurice Benard and Scott performed a scene from David Mamet's American Buffalo as part of the Los Angeles Media & Education Center's evening of live theater. "I'd done this play before and I knew that Scott would be perfect in it," shares Benard. "Our relationship connected on stage just like it does on screen." Scott volunteers his time to many charities believing that it is important to give something back. |
