He was once romantically linked to actress Valerie Bertinelli, and he's worked with some of Hollywood's biggest names from Michael Keaton to Farrah Fawcett and of course Bill Murray.
The actor, 62, is best known for his role in the cult golf comedy Caddyshack alongside Murray.
He played the cocky teen caddie Tony D'Annunzio in the 1980 film.
Despite his success, Scott Colomby has kept a low profile over the years with fans rarely catching a glimpse of the former screen star.

And gone was the mop of dark hair and tight vests showing off his ripped physique.
Instead, he kept it casual in a dark T-Shirt, grey tracksuit bottoms and sneakers.
He also sported a pair of glasses hooked onto his shirt.
Fans of the era might remember him not just from Caddyshack - which also starred Chevvy Chase, Rodney Dangerfield and Ted Knight, but from the raunchy teen hit Porky's where he played smooth talking Brian Schwartz.

Beautiful Croatian hilltop village that was used as a dupe for city of Nottingham in the Robin Hood movie
ON the beautiful Istria peninsula is a tiny cobbled village that has doubled as the UK city of Nottingham. An hour away from the Croatian city of Pula is the pretty village of Završje, it sits on a hilltop, has winding streets and stone houses with terracotta rooftops. 5 Završje sits on a hilltop on the Istria peninsula Credit: Alamy 5 The village appeared in the 2018 adaptation of Robin Hood Credit: Alamy There are plenty of pretty hidden gems on the Istria peninsula, one of them being the Završje. The village is tiny, with the last population consensus in 2021 revealing that just 39 people lived there. More people might have seen it than first thought though, as in 2018 it appeared in a blockbuster movie. Završje stood in for 12th century Nottingham in the Robin Hood film starring Taron Egerton, Jamie Foxx and Eve Hewson. The town's medieval look made it the ideal backdrop for the movie's scenes and were used for the end battle between Robin Hood and the Sheriff of Nottingham. Završje has its very own leaning tower - the church tower is 22 metres tall and leans about 40cm because of the unstable ground it was built on. Once you've had a walk around the tiny village, there's plenty more to do in Istria - the heart-shaped peninsula boasts incredible beaches, cities and historical sites. Its Ancient Roman buildings have led to many comparisons with Italy, and the city of Pula's Roman amphitheatre is the sixth largest in the world. It's also one of the best-preserved in the world with its outer walls and four side towers mostly intact. Tickets for entry to the Arena can be purchased at the main entrance - adults are €10 (£8.64) and students are €5 (£4.32). The sun-soaked Croatian island that's a secret a celeb hot spot 5 Pula's Roman amphitheatre is the sixth largest in the world Credit: Alamy 5 There are plenty of beautiful beaches on the peninsula Credit: Getty The best beaches on Tripadvisor in Istria include Fazana Beach, Cuvi Beach and Mulini Beach. One of the top attractions is the Punta Kamenjak National Park where you can go swimming and snorkelling. Essential spots to see include the Old Town, Baredine Cave, Port of Rovinj and Church of St Euphemia. Istria is also home to Croatia's largest waterpark Aquapark Porec Aquacolors. It boasts several huge waterslides, including the Freefall, a 48-metre long drop and Turbolance which features a steep drop, reverses and a splash pool, all while taking "crazy photos" of riders. However, there are also calmer rides for youngsters including family rafting slides. The park has a TripAdvisor Travellers' Choice Award due to the number of positive ratings it has received. One visitor wrote: "Awesome place, so much fun and adrenaline. Would come again, definitely! Make sure you arrive early because there is so many slides you will want to try." Another person added: "The children's area was amazing! Our kids loved it!" You can fly direct from the UK to Pula Airport in just over two hours. Flights are with easyJet and Ryanair and start from £31. Discover more on Croatia including its largest island which has hilltop towns, sandy beaches and it's own airport. And the 'secret' pirate beach town on one of Europe's most popular coasts.
