New York native Scott Colomby relocated to the Los Angeles area when he was still a child, putting him considerably closer to the bright lights of Hollywood. He began making guest appearances on TV shows like Ironside and Charlie's Angels in the mid-'70s, and soon found a few steady gigs with recurring roles on One Day at a Time and Szysznyk. The '80s and '90s would offer a similar stream of TV appearances on shows like Walker, Texas Ranger and Silk Stalkings, while the 2000s would find Colomby acting in the independent drama The Seekers.
