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.
The Brooklyn born star began his career in the early 70s and appeared in all three Porky films, which were major box office hits.
The original flick in 1982, directed by Bob Clark, raked in a staggering $160 million off a modest $4-5 million budget.

Porky's also featured a young Kim Cattral and followed a gang of high school boys in the 1950s Florida on a chaotic, coming-of-age quest involving strip clubs and revenge.
Meanwhile, his former flame Valerie was seen out with her new man Mike Goodnough last year, but fans thought it was her body guard.
The One Day at a Time star walked with him after she left the set of The Drew Barrymore Show in New York City.
Another man stood, now known to be Mike, walked beside her on the sidewalk.
A fan spotted them and uploaded the photo via Instagram Threads and captioned it "Hiding in plain sight."

Margaret Qualley reveals she is trying to set mom Andie MacDowell with this 90s A-list star
Margaret Qualley revealed the A-list actor she is trying to set up with her mother Andie MacDowell. While making an appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon on Thursday, the 30-year-old actress revealed she has been playing matchmaker since her mother is single. On the late night talk show, she made a confession to Fallon while they were playing a game of true or false. 'I once tried to set up Bill Murray with my mom,' she said on the show, to which Fallon guessed was false as he noted that they previously played love interests in a movie together. MacDowell, 67, and Murray, 74, once starred opposite each other in the 1993 fantasy romantic comedy Groundhog Day. Then, the Honey Don't star revealed she was telling the truth and that she had just tried to set up her mom with Murray 'just now' in her backstage dressing room. While chatting backstage, she said that she learned that Murray has been living in Charleston — the South Carolina city that her mother recently moved to after becoming an empty nester. 'He's wearing a Piggly Wiggly shirt. And I grew up in North Carolina, and Piggly Wiggly is a southern thing. I think, right? And, I mean, there was one where I grew up, so I was like, "Oh yeah, Piggly Wiggly." 'Then, cut to I find out he's living in Charleston. My mom's living in Charleston,' she continued. During their conversation, she recalled Murray explaining that he and MacDowell had a hard time working together on set. 'He was like, "You know, your mom and I, we didn't get along so good while we were making that movie." And he was like, "You know, she took a long time to get her hair done, and she didn't know her lines this one time." Qualley then shared her quick-witted comeback: 'And I was like, "Yeah, well, I heard a different story, sir."' She then explained how she got the idea to help them reconnect and potentially set them up. 'And then, you know, come to find out, I'm putting two and two together, they've got this kind of rage towards each other, but maybe he's trying to make amends,' she said. 'And I'm like, she's single, he's single. They're both crazy. Let's get it together.' The nepo baby said she was now waiting for him to reach out. 'So now I said to come circle back and get my number if he wants to connect with my mom. If he's got any sense at all, he'd be the luckiest guy in the world.' MacDowell and Murray did not 'get along so good' on the set of their 1993 romantic comedy Groundhog Day, in which Murray portrayed a weatherman who experiences the day on a loop. In the movie, MacDowell played his producer, and the pair end up falling in love as the movie and the day on a loop went on. MacDowell was previously married to her second husband Rhett Hartzog from 2001 to 2004. She was married to her first husband, the father of her three children, Paul Qualley from 1986 to 1999. She and the former model and rancher share son Justin Qualley, 39, and daughter Rainey Qualley, 36, in addition to their youngest child Margaret Qualley. 'And I'm like, she's single, he's single. They're both crazy. Let's get it together.' The nepo baby said she was now waiting for him to reach out to help the co-stars reconnect; pictured in 1993 Groundhog Day movie still Meanwhile, Bill was married to Margaret Kelly from 1981 to 1996 and then to his second wife, the late costume designer Jennifer Butler, from 1997 to 2008. The two-time Golden Globe winner is a father of six sons, two from his first marriage and four from his second marriage. He welcomed his two oldest sons, Homer, 43, and Luke, 40, with Margaret Kelly. He welcomed sons Caleb, 32, Jackson, 29, Cooper, 28, and Lincoln, 20, with Jennifer Butler.

Amazon Prime Fans thrilled as 'best comedy of last 30 years' finally streaming
Groundhog Day, starring Bill Murray and Andie MacDowell, is now available to stream on Amazon Prime Video and Apple TV It's been celebrated as one of the finest comedies ever crafted - and now Groundhog Day (1993) has at last landed on streaming platforms. This timeless masterpiece, featuring Bill Murray and Andie MacDowell, follows the tale of Phil Connors, an egotistical weather presenter dispatched to Punxsutawney to report on the yearly Groundhog Day celebrations. When a snowstorm strikes, trapping him and his team overnight, he awakens to discover it's Groundhog Day once more. Phil finds himself trapped in a temporal prison, experiencing February 2nd on endless repeat. At first, he exploits this situation for personal gain, controlling circumstances and satisfying his own whims. Phil's perspective shifts as he realises the pointlessness of his narcissistic conduct. He begins utilising the endless cycle to master fresh abilities, assist those around him, and cultivate authentic empathy for his fellow humans. Under Harold Ramis's direction, this picture has transcended its origins as a breezy romantic comedy - across three decades, it has transformed into a cultural phenomenon, frequently referenced as among the finest comedies of contemporary cinema, reports the Express. Upon its debut, nobody anticipated Groundhog Day would achieve its current legendary status. As one Rotten Tomatoes critique observes: "Nothing suggested that this would gather steam over time and emerge as one of the most respected comedies of the past 30 years." Yet that's precisely what occurred. The movie's misleadingly straightforward premise - awakening to the identical day, repeatedly - evolved into an unexpectedly profound examination of self-improvement, ethics, and what genuinely constitutes a worthwhile existence. One admirer hailed it as "a fun story with a thought-provoking theme about time and the ways in which we spend it. Bill Murray and Andie MacDowell do a superb job of leading the cast. Top-notch." Three decades later, viewers continue to be enchanted by it. Another wrote: "It's a shame there are only 5 stars available! ... Groundhog Day is a one of a kind work of art. Enough has been written about it. It hasn't stopped being out of fashion. Just go and see it!". For countless people, it represents Bill Murray's career-defining performance. As one review said: "Once you get past the ridiculous premise, you realize you have a very special film here. The lead role is tailor-made for Bill Murray and Andie MacDowell has her role of a lifetime. Direction is excellent as well!". The picture subsequently received adaptations for stage, gaming platforms and international language editions. Groundhog Day is currently accessible for streaming on Amazon Prime Video and Apple TV.

‘I am elated each time I watch': why Rushmore is my feelgood movie
'Let's hope it's got a happy ending,' Herman Blume, played by Bill Murray in one of his best roles, says near the end of Wes Anderson's 1998 film Rushmore. He makes the remark about an over-the-top, literally pyrotechnic school play that his teenage friend Max Fischer (Jason Schwartzman) has just debuted to an audience of dazed teachers and parents. But his comment stands in for the whole movie, an audacious and risky comedy that should not work, but does. I am elated each time I watch this poignant, wise and wildly funny film – and, yes, there is a happy ending. Rushmore is about children trying to act like adults and adults acting like children. Fischer is a precocious scholarship student at Rushmore, a prestigious private boys' school. He is the sort of bright but naive young person who tries to impress an adult by telling them, with a straight face, that he plans to apply to Oxford and the Sorbonne for university, with Harvard as a 'safety.' In fact, Fischer spends more time planning lavish plays and starting school clubs than studying. He is one of the school's 'worst students,' his headmaster (Brian Cox) sighs. One day Fischer meets Blume, a local industrialist whose sons are students at Rushmore. Blume is a self-hating rich man – his loathing of his boorish, silver-spoon-fed sons is one of the film's many funny running jokes – and he takes a shine to the scrappy Fischer. Despite their difference in age, the two develop a sincere and surprisingly equal friendship. A wrench is thrown into their bromance when Fischer meets Rosemary Cross (Olivia Williams), a new teacher at Rushmore and a recent widow, and develops a powerful crush. In addition to the obvious hurdles – he is a child, and she is not interested – his friend Blume becomes smitten, as well. (Talking to Fischer by cellphone, Blume tries to talk him out of his crush on Rosemary. 'I mean, she's not that beautiful. She's not that intriguing,' he argues, as the camera pans to reveal that he is spying on her through a classroom window.) The two friends spiral into an infantile battle for Rosemary's attention – without, in classic male fashion, having given much thought to her feelings. A love triangle (sort of) between two adults and a teenager is an odd, even uncomfortable, premise for a movie. Rushmore's protagonist, Fischer, is also frankly a bad person: a shameless operator who manipulates people, subjects the exasperated Rosemary to grand and misguided romantic gestures, and acts ruthlessly to realize his overambitious projects. (Perhaps Anderson is trying to tell us something about auteur filmmakers?) There's a version of Rushmore that reads like Fatal Attraction; it is a testament to the film's intelligence that it instead bubbles over with charm, warmth, and emotional observation. I first watched Rushmore in high school, when I was old enough to appreciate the movie but not really to fully understand it. It was recommended by a friend who had a touch of Fischer to him, and perhaps saw a touch in me, too. Watching the movie, I had a strange shock of recognition: not just 'Where has this been all my life?' but 'How is it that some people I've never met made something perfectly tailored to my sensibilities?' Of course, a good film offers more, not less, each time you watch it. I've come back to Rushmore again and again, and each time I catch things – jokes, call-backs, themes, smart symmetries and flourishes – that I hadn't noticed before. The film is the best of Anderson's quirky vision, without an overindulgence in the aspects of his style that can be grating or 'twee,' to cite a common criticism. One reason may be the contribution of the actor Owen Wilson, who co-wrote Anderson's first three films (including another fan favorite, The Royal Tenenbaums). I suspect he balanced Anderson's whimsy with a certain groundedness and emotionality. Rushmore is stamped with the famous Anderson aesthetic, but its characters and story also have a realness that his more recent work sometimes lacks. As entertainment, the film gives me sheer pleasure. Yet it is also a profoundly shrewd study of relationships, ego, and growing up, whose emotional maturity is all the more impressive given that Anderson and Wilson started writing it when they were still in their twenties. And the film's iconic soundtrack of British Invasion pop-rock is perfectly chosen, none more so than in the final scene. As characters dance sweetly to Faces' Ooh La La, the lyrics offer a summation: 'I wish that I knew what I know now … When I was younger.' Rushmore is available on Hoopla in the US or to rent digitally in the UK and Australia
