It's hard to separate a well-known actor from his profession and look at him as an "average" person -- especially when most of what you usually hear about the person is related to his careeer! But there are some people you just have to know everything about...
Scott Wolf was born a Gemini on June 4th, 1968 in Boston, Massachusetts. His middle name, you ask? I have received confirmation - from his sister, no less - that it really is Richard. For some time there was debate as to whether it was Richard or Tyler. There was ample evidence to support both sides, and I thank all those who made me aware of it, but I'm happy I can finally put the topic to rest.
Scott (nicknamed "Scooter") has an older brother (Michael), a younger brother (Gary), and a sister (Jessica).
Scott's father, Steven Wolf, is a health-care executive, and his mother, Susan Enowitch, is a drug-abuse counsellor in Dover, NJ. As it happens, Steven and Susan were divorced in 1973.
After growing up and going to high school in West Orange, New Jersey, Scott thought he had figured out a simple course for his life: he went off to college at George Washington University and earned his undergraduate degree in Finance. While there, he reportedly served a term as president of the GWU chapter of Alpha Epsilon Pi fraternity (though this information is as yet unconfirmed).
However, Clint Brady, a friend of Scott's father and a former thespian who thought Scott had an actor's potential, then suggested Scott try his hand at acting. Before making his way to Hollywood for his first audition, Scott attended the HB Studio in New York, and continued developing his talents with Robert Carnegie and Jeff Goldblum at Playhouse West in California (initially moving to Santa Monica at the age of 22).

Scott, now a home-owner, drives a Toyota 4-Runner and recently moved from his rented Laurel Canyon house near Los Angeles, California, that he shared with his younger brother Gary. Gary is a musician, and his band (Stickball), recorded a song that was used in an episode of Party of Five during the show's second season.
Scott currently stands a sturdy and compact 5'8" (about 173 cm), and weighs approximately 150 lbs. (roughly 68 kg). He has brown, wavy hair, and if you can't tell from some of his pictures, some striking blue eyes. He is now 30 years old, and is currently single after an apparently amical January or February (1998) breakup with his co-star from Party of Five Paula Devicq (they dated for about a year). More recent information is not available.
He likes music by Buffalo Tom, Smashing Pumpkins, Stone Temple Pilots and Lisa Loeb & Nine Stories, and enjoys playing baseball, hockey, and watching football (rooting for the New York Giants). He has a taste for eating sushi, pizza, seafood (yes, lobster too), and Chinese food. His hobbies include playing guitar and drums, writing music, song lyrics and poetry, and playing with his Sega game system. He also visits his local pet store three times a week to play with the dogs and donates time at the daycare center in St. Louis when he visits his father there.
