In film, he's most known as Roman Bridger in Scream 3. He has also guest starred on Grey's Anatomy, Dawson's Creek, and House.

Early life

Foley was born on July 15, 1972, in Kansas City, Kansas, the first of three boys for Constance and Hugh Foley.[1] His father was an international banker, and the family lived in Japan and Australia during Foley's childhood.[2] The family settled in St. Louis, Missouri, when Scott was 15 years old. That same year, his mother died from ovarian cancer. Foley attended Ladue High School, before graduating from Clayton High School. [3] His ancestry is Northern European: English, German, Irish and Scottish.[4]

Career

Foley's breakthrough role was playing Noel Crane on Felicity. He had recurring guest appearances on Scrubs as Elliot Reid's boyfriend, Sean Kelly, and on Dawson's Creek as Cliff.

In 2000, Foley appeared as Roman Bridger in Scream 3 (2000), a role that saw him nominated for a Teen Choice Award. In January 2025, it was announced Foley would appear in the upcoming Scream 7; it is unknown if he'll reprise his role or play a new role.

Aside from acting, Foley directed one episode of Felicity (called "The Graduate") and three episodes of Scandal. In addition, he had a starring role as Sergeant First Class Bob Brown in the CBS military drama The Unit, during its four-season run, and directed one episode. He guest-starred as a drug-addicted baseball pitcher on House. He also produced the sitcom A.U.S.A., on which he appeared.

Foley appeared in three episodes of ABC's comedy Cougar Town. He signed on to play a businessman being shown houses by the show's resident real estate agent, Jules, played by Courteney Cox, reuniting with her nine years after Scream 3. Foley and Cox's characters began dating, but it ended quickly.[5]

After appearing on Grey's Anatomy, Foley appeared as a guest star on the second season of the hit show Scandal as Captain Jake Ballard.[6] Later that year he was added as a regular to the cast.

Foley portrayed the lead character in ABC's drama Whiskey Cavalier, which ran for one season starting on February 27, 2019, and guest starred in the ABC police drama The Rookie in 2020.

Directing

Foley made his feature film writing and directing debut in 2013 with Let's Kill Ward's Wife. Foley's wife, Marika Domińczyk, his sister-in-law Dagmara Domińczyk, and brother-in-law Patrick Wilson star in the film, along with Donald Faison, Amy Acker and Nicollette Sheridan.[7]

Personal life

On October 19, 2000, Foley married actress Jennifer Garner, whom he met when she guest-starred on Felicity. Foley and Garner separated in March 2003 and Garner filed for divorce in May 2003.[8]

Foley became engaged to Polish-born actress Marika Dominczyk in 2006, and in June 2007, the two wed in a private ceremony in Hawaii.[9] They have three children: daughter Malina (b. November 2009) and sons Keller (b. April 2012) and Konrad (b. November 13, 2014).[10] Foley's sister-in-law is actress Dagmara Domińczyk, who is married to the actor Patrick Wilson.

In the seventh season's second episode of the genealogy reality program Who Do You Think You Are?, it was revealed that Foley had an ancestor, Samuel Wardwell, who was a defendant in the Salem witch trials. Another ancestor, Simon Wardwell, was a member of then General George Washington's "Life Guard" during the Revolutionary War.[11]
