'''Scott Colomby''' (born September 19, 1952) is an American film, television, and stage actor, best known for his roles in ''Caddyshack'' (1980) and ''Porky's'' (1982).
==Life and career== Colomby was born in Brooklyn, New York on September 19, 1952. His father, Harry, was a jazz agent, manager, and school teacher<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie-news/harry-colomby-dead-michael-keaton-manager-writer-producer-1235067937/|title=Harry Colomby, Manager, Writer and Producer for Michael Keaton, Dies at 92|work=The Hollywood Reporter|date=December 28, 2021|access-date=January 2, 2022}}</ref> and his mother, Lee, is a stage actress. While Scott was in grade school, his family moved from Brooklyn to Los Angeles. Colomby attended Beverly Hills High School and graduated in 1970. He attended classes for theatre arts at the Immaculate Heart school, where he enjoyed classic readings and decided to make acting his career.
At age 13, he made his acting debut on the daytime soap opera ''Days of Our Lives'' (1965). He followed this with a starring role in the Canadian biker film ''The Proud Rider'' in 1971. These performances led to a succession of guest roles on several television shows, including ''Room 222'' (1972), ''Ironside'' (1974), ''Phyllis'' (1975), ''The Streets of San Francisco'' (1975), ''Baretta'' (1976), ''Charlie's Angels'' (1977), and ''Black Sheep Squadron'' (1978) among others. Colomby had recurring roles on the sitcom ''Sons & Daughters'' in 1974 and the soap opera parody ''Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman'' in 1976. He starred on the short-lived comedy ''Szysznyk'' with Ned Beatty, and appeared in six episodes of ''One Day at a Time'' (1977–78) as Cliff Randall, Barbara Cooper's crush.
In 1980, Colomby played Tony D'Annunzio, the rival of his fellow caddie Danny Noonan, in the golf comedy film ''Caddyshack''. Two years later, he played Brian Schwartz in the sex comedy ''Porky's'' (1982). Despite negative reviews, the film was a major success, grossing more than $100 million domestically. Colomby later returned for the film's two less successful sequels, ''Porky's II: The Next Day'' (1983) and ''Porky's Revenge!'' (1985).
Colomby has continued to act, but his performances have become less frequent since the 1990s. He is the co-founder of Big Elvin & The Professors' Blues Theater, an acting company that provides a grab bag of music, comedy, street theater and performance art.
