    So in other words, you're convinced that he wrote it and that 'Kelly Ward' must be his alias? There's no point in making suggestions because you clearly won't take it any other way.

          I do know of some actors who write their own bios, but it seems like this "Kelly Ward" has also written bios for other people too. So either Scott likes to write bios of himself and other people, orKelly Ward is a real person.

            To be fair to the OP, his bio does sound rather self-serving.

              I don't see what's wrong with writing that he's muscular, swaggering & tough. If you've seen a lot of his movies, that pretty much sums up his characters. There's no ego to it. It sounds like you're only saying that because he's 5'5". And, judging someone based on their height is238n't really fair or cool. He doesn't have to overcompensate, and his height has nothing to do with his acting. He's not the only actor to have "overdone" it in a movie. That constantly happens in fight scenes when actors/actresses are caught up in their character. Unless you have personally met Scott Caan, I would say your opinion is based on lack on knowledge more than anything else.

                Sonny Corleone's son, so why wouldn't he have swagger? Isn't it a Hollywood thing?

                  Wow an egomaniacal 5'5" Hollywood actor? No way
                  Man what next, an ultra liberal Hollywood actor thinking their outspoken opinion is important?

                      Except that just because he plays CHARACTERS that are "swaggering and tough", does not make him so.
                      Can Harrison Ford put in his bio that he was president of the United States just because he played a president in a movie?

                        Geez, come on, poor guy HAD to write his own biographical notes for this website! Have you ever read the original bio of him, before they replaced it with the current one?
                        "Short, angry, and overcompensating, Little Scotty Cann (son of JAMES CAAN) shows every promise of being short, developing a Napoleon complex, and becoming some day as big a star as JAMES CAAN, his FATHER, the guy who was in THE GODFATHER. Short and slighted as a youth, Scotty Caan grew up to be very short. Coming up short on roles early on in his 'acting' career, Scotty Caan turned to nepotism and name-dropping, aided by his father JAMES CAAN who was not exactly tall but not really short himself. Before making it in films Scotty Caan supported himself as a midget wrestler in which endeavor his shortness was viewed as an asset rather than a liability. His first on-screen (uncredited) appearance was in the film LEPRECHAUN, where he won fans as the Third Leprechaun from the Left. He then made a name for himself in a number of movie shorts. Today, as a big (if short) star of the wretched remake of HAWAII 5-0, Scotty Caan makes it a point to thank his father JAMES CAAN for making sure he never came up short in his acting career. Off-camera, Scotty Cann enjoys assaulting taller people to show tough he is even if short, and has championed t7eche cause of obliterating every existing copy of Randy Newman's cruel song "Short People"- a tall order, but Scotty "Son of JAMES" Caan, is UP to the task!"
                        I mean, woah! What would you have done?

                                  I agree, I think he IS Kelly Ward. Did you read his personal quotes? When did anyone ever interview him long enough to listen to him expound all that crap?!
                                  'Scott benefited from his father's hands-on approach to child rearing; the elder Caan reportedly took a five-year hiatus to coach all of his son's little league teams.'
                                  uh, yeah! Like 5 years because he couldn't get hired because he was a prick5b4. Hands on child rearing? You mean hands on the Nanny when he came for his visitation?

                                    There was an interview with Scott Caan in The Metro in London a couple of years back. He himself says "I'm alpha," in response to a question. Any guy that has to say, in an interview no less, that he's an alpha male, really isn't one and he did come across as some overcompensating douche. It really wouldn't surprise me if he approved his bio.

                                      This is in fact the interview. Nothing douche-like if you ask me, just an honest answer to the question.
                                      http://metro.co.uk/2013/01/02/hawaii-five-o-star-scott-caan-i-dont-wat ch-tv-but-i-hear-claire-daness-new-show-is-great-3328597/
                                      How close are you and Alex OLoughlin [who plays Steve McGarrett on Five-0] after three years working on the show? Hes alpha and Im alpha so at first our egos kind of bumped. We were both sizing each other up, thinking: Alright, if we had to fight, how am I going to win this fight? But when youre stuck toget238her on an island, you take your time figuring out who you want to spend time with and were really good friends now. I support Alex and I have his back I have nothing but nice things to say about him. But I dont envy him hes got three kids and a dog and two assistants. Alex likes to complicate things.

                                        When you don't include context for personal attacks against a person it sounds like your just talking out of your assthe reply showing the context that he said it in confirms this.

                                          But mr Caan "also has a strong egalitarian streak, evidenced by his reasoning for baring his body in films.&q111cuot; ?!! That line, one of the best bios I've read. Hate these rich kids with pecks who actually believe they're tough.
