.or was it his publicist? No way you can take it seriously when it starts, "Muscular, swaggering and tough."

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.

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.

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.

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.
Good job.

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.

I'm sure most of the people who read his biography hate the fact he's a "staunch republican" as well. I'm a registered Independent voter, I guess I'm "in the middle of the road". I can say I don't like this current administration b/c he's done nothing but hide "what's really happening from the public", and its not in a "good way"; Of course the media will always "softball question" Obama, and never really try to get to the real truths of all the horrible things that have happened. I think in this time we need a President who will fight for our country RATHER than constantly apologizing for the USA's actions. There is so much going on right now w/Israel (who I happen to love) it seems that Obama doesn't share the love for Israel though. I'm glad that Scott isn't a "typical Hollywood liberal/radical", believe it or not there are a lot of "closet case conservatives" in Hollywood, but will not come out b/c of the fact they will never get roles again. I mean look what happen to Ron Silver (may he RIP) before he died, he was very open to why he changed his political views, and in interviews has said he lost many friends b/c of his change, he also couldn't get an acting job, which was sad b/c he was an amazing talented actor even when he was a liberal. It just goes to show you that if you don't think the way Hollyb68wood liberals do than you can forget about getting movie and/or television roles. Its so hypocritical b/c I thought Democrats were suppose to be "open and tolerable" towards EVERYTHING. I guess not so much. Its the "Hollywood cliques" that get all the movie roles - same old bunch of actor/actresses.. sorry so long. As for Scott, they left out that he just had a baby, I don't know if its a boy or girl- just that James Caan was thrilled for his son Scott -he said in a interview.
