The Official Scott Egan Website

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 sophomore in high school. Scott went on to play professional baseball for the Chicago White Sox and Milwaukee Brewers organizations.

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, since 1997. Scott makes the most of his moments on screen much to the delight of his many fans.

In addition to his role on GH Scott guest starred 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 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.

Personal Goal: To surround myself with people who always try to generate positive energy. When I was playing baseball, I had a dream that if I ever caught the winning pitch in the World Series, I would take that ball and give it to a kid in a wheelchair. I know now that it is not possible in baseball but by the Grace of God maybe someday I will be able to achieve this goal with acting.
Quote: I guess my quote would be, actually I have two I try to live by, "The less we think of ourselves the more of a person we'll become" and "The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams."
