Seann William Scott (born October 3, 1976) is an American actor, comedian and producer. He played Steve Stifler in the American Pie series. He has also starred in other films, including Final Destination (2000), Road Trip (2000), Dude, Where's My Car? (2000), Evolution (2001), The Rundown (2003), The Dukes of Hazzard (2005), Role Models (2008), Cop Out (2010), Goon (2011) and the voice of Crash in the Ice Age series.
Seann was born in Cottage Grove, Minnesota. He is the son of Patricia Anne (née Simons), a homemaker, and William Frank Scott, a factory worker. Seann is the youngest of seven children.
Seann's first commercial success came with the 1999 film American Pie, as Steve Stifler, a role he reprised in three sequels, American Pie 2 (2001), American Wedding (2003), and American Reunion (2012). For his supporting role in the first film, Seann was paid only $8,000. Seann was granted the lead role in American Wedding, though he only received second billing, and the character propelled him into the public consciousness. Seann's fear of typecasting led him to play different types of characters post-American Pie, such as a hapless nerd in the horror film Final Destination and a friendly stoner in Dude, Where's My Car?.
