Nice Boy of the Week: Scott Caan

Announcing our newest Nice Boy of the Week, Scott Caan! Scott plays Danny Williams on the new CBS series Hawaii Five-O.

Scott is not only a fine actor but he is also a writer and director. Most remembered for his role as Turk Malloy in the “Ocean’s 11” franchise, Caan’s credits also include “American Outlaws,” “Into the Blue,” “Friends with Money,” “Boiler Room,” “Ready to Rumble,” “Gone in 60 Seconds,” “Enemy of the State” and “Varsity Blues.” He’s also starred in several independent films, including “Bongwater,” “Lunchtime Special,” “Nowhere,” and the dark comedy “Novocaine,” opposite Steve Martin and Helena Bonham Carter. Caan has been receiving praise for his role on the HBO series “Entourage.”

Caan directed and starred in the film “Dallas 362,” which received the Critics’ Choice Award at CineVegas International Film Festival. He went on to write, direct and star in the film “The Dog Problem,” and was in the film “Mercy,” which he also penned and co-produced.

In 2001, Caan wrote, starred and co-directed the play “Almost Love” at LA’s Playhouse West. He has also written three feature scripts, the first of which, “Chasing the Party,” is set up at Jerry Bruckheimer Productions with Caan attached to star. He is also in the process of setting up two additional screenplays – the boxing drama “The Fight,” and the ensemble drama “Lowest Common Denominator.”

Caan has become a favorite since joining the cast of Hawaii Five-O, and he can now join his co-star, Alex O’Loughlin, on our Nice Boys Wall of Fame.
