My first impression of Scott Caan wasn't the best: he was playing the snot-nosed agent, Scott Lavin on HBO's hit show "Entourage". His character was meant to rub viewers the wrong way as he snuck around behind the back of always-loveable E, the agent of star Vinnie Chase. When I saw that Caan would be one of two stars of the show from the 1960s, "Hawaii Five-Oh", I cringed a little. Why? Caan is good-looking, smooth-talking and suave, but I just couldn't bring myself to like any characters he played. This all changed when I caught his appearance on Jay Leno a few nights ago. He was charismatic and funny, yet tough: three qualities I adore in a man.
So I started doing a little research on my new crush; creeping, if you will. He is all over the place! I'm not kidding, this guy does it all; he's an actor, direct & writer, and a photographer. Yep, a photographer. His most recent screenplay is Mercy, a drama about an author struggling to find what's missing in his life as he falls in love with his biggest critic. Caan stars in the film alongside his father and wonderful filmstar, James Caan. As I previewed the trailer for the film, I was entranced...it is heartfelt love story with a strong script that involves friendship, family and most of all, love. Okay, so Caan gets an A in acting and writing.
I moved on to his photography next...WOW. His pictures are raw and emotional, not something you'd expect from the son of an acclaimed actor that grew up in Hollywood. He captures the moments of normal people and the struggles of the the not-so normal ones. Caan released a book of his photos called "Scott Caan Photographs: Vol. I" that is available on his website.
