Scott Valentine – 1958

Scott Valentine is a well-known American actor, and most people recognize him as Nick Moore from the 1980s NBC sitcom “Family Ties.” His popularity on “Family Ties” spawned not one but three spinoff series, ensuring his continued employment well beyond the ’80s. Since then, he has appeared in numerous television shows as a guest star, including “JAG” and “CSI: NY.” He last appeared on screen in the 2007 science fiction film “Harpies,” and since then, he hasn’t done much else in either film or television. The facts that he remarried in his hometown in 2021 and is a partner at a small investment firm suggest that he is doing fine.
