Sean William Scott was born in Cottage Grove, Minnesota, USA. He was inspired to become an actor while working at the local movie theater and seeing all the movies he could watch for free. After his graduation, Seann moved to Los Angeles, where he was discovered in a talent search competition. Soon he appeared in Chad's World, a gay-themed TV show broadcast on the Web. Seann's first commercial success came with the 1999 movie American Pie as Steve Stifler, a role he reprised in two sequels and one that brought him to public notice. Seann has an interest in body modification and has three tattoos: an infinity symbol on his wrist, a lightning bolt on his thigh and 'Amo', Latin for 'I Love' on his tailbone. In an interview with People magazine, Seann noted that he does not normally wear undergarments, a custom known by some as going commando. Seann is currently dating model Deanna Miller.
