a short time several years ago.
He is regularly used as a punch line on Conan O'Brien's and David Letterman's
talk shows.
Where Are They Now: He just completed the Wes Craven film "Cursed" where
he plays himself. Scott says he had some reservations about playing himself. He
says, "Playing yourself is always fairly risky because you gotta watch how you
goof on yourself.' Baio says he told Craven and "Cursed' writer Kevin
Williamson, "You guys can make fun of me all you want, but keep it to where it's
not completely insulting."
It also stars Christina Ricci, Shannon Elizabeth, Lance Bass, James Brolin,
Portia de Rossi, Scott Foley, and Joshua Jackson. No release date as of yet.
His movie "Superbabies: Baby Geniuses 2" opens in theaters August 27th. It's
directed by Bob Clark and stars Jon Voight.
Scott has also been popping up in the news because of his former flame Pamela
Anderson. She has written the semi-fictionalized book "Star". It is filled with
steamy sex scenes, based on her real-life relationships with celebrities,
including Scott.
He won Best Actor for the lead in "The Bread, My Sweet" (aka "Wedding for
Bella") from the Atlantic City Film festival. There's been talk about turning it
into a series, which Baio says he'd love to do.
