'Whiskey Cavalier': Scott Foley's new comedic role may prove to be the most challenging one yet

46-year-old Scott Foley, who plays Will Chase on ABC's 'Whiskey Cavalier', has come a long way from his high school sweetheart days in 'Sweet Valley High' and 'Dawson's Creek'

Scott Foley was born in Kansas City on July 15, 1972. He grew up in Japan (he's fluent in Japanese) and Australia but later settled in St. Louis, Missouri after the passing of his mother due to ovarian cancer when Scott was 15. Being the oldest of two brothers, Scott had to provide for his family, and he did this by working at Mrs. Fields Cookies. Scott was so broke at one time that he pretty much lived on leftover cookies.

This, however, was not his calling. He knew from a very young age that he wanted to be an actor saying, "I was lucky enough to know exactly what I wanted to do when I was growing up. I think one of the hardest things to figure out in life is what your calling is, and what truly makes you happy. Not what you want to work at, but what you want to do".
