Scott Foley returns for his fourth season as Noel Crane on Imagine Television and Touchstone Television's acclaimed series "Felicity." During his most recent hiatus from the series, Foley worked in London on the upcoming feature film submarine thriller, "Below," opposite Matthew Davis. He next will be seen in the independent film "Rennie's Landing," opposite Ethan Embry, Peter Facinelli and Jennifer Garner ("Alias"). He made his feature film debut in Wes Craven's "Scream 3."
Born in Kansas City, Kansas, Foley relocated often during his childhood due to his father's career in international banking. He lived all over the world, including Sydney, Australia, and Tokyo, Japan. Foley attended high school in St. Louis, Missouri, performing in school and community theater productions. Ever determined, he never wanted to do anything else but act. After graduating high school, he bought a one-way plane ticket to Los Angeles.
Knowing very little about Los Angeles except that "The Tonight Show" taped in Burbank, he figured that was the place to live. With limited funds he rented a "sleeping room" and worked constantly, first in insurance and later managing restaurants, while taking acting classes and going to auditions.
In the summer of 1997 Foley landed a theatrical agent and his career skyrocketed. Within one month he landed a guest-starring role on "Dawson's Creek" as Cliff, the high school quarterback who successfully challenged Dawson for Jen's romantic interest. Foley parlayed his one episode stint into a five-episode arc. His other TV credits include "Zoe, Duncan, Jack and Jane" and the NBC movie-of-the-week, "Crowned and Dangerous."
Foley resides in Los Angeles, California, with wife Jennifer Garner ("Alias"), whom he met on the set of "Felicity" when she guest-starred during the series' first season.
