Craig Sheffer as Keith Scott

Birthday - April 23



With a strong understated presence, Craig Sheffer has a quiet
intensity that transcends both the big and small screen.
Demonstrating versatility and skill in a range of unconventional
performances, Sheffer returns to television with his role in "One
Tree Hill" as Keith Scott, a kind-hearted mechanic who has helped
raise his brother's son as his own.

Born in York, Pennsylvania, Sheffer had a passion for acting even at
a young age. He won the Best High School Actor Award in a state-wide
competition. He studied Theater at East Stroudsburg University, where
he played Valere in a production of "Moliere's Tartuffe." Immediately
after graduation, Sheffer relocated to New York to pursue a career in
acting.

Early auditions landed him a role in the off-Broadway play, "Punchy."
Soon after, he found himself co-starring in the award-winning
Broadway production, "Torch Song Trilogy." In less than a year,
producers spotted his work on Broadway and cast him in his feature
film debut in "That Was Then, This Is Now," opposite Emilio Estevez.
Sheffer also starred in the Vietnam based play "G.R. Point," and won
the LA Critics Drama Desh Award for his performance.

Sheffer went on to starring roles in the John Hughes comedy "Some
Kind of Wonderful" and the father/son drama "Split Decisions," with
Gene Hackman. He followed that with the lead role in Robert Redford's
critically acclaimed film "A River Runs Through It," opposite Brad
Pitt. Other film credits have included the hard-edged drama "The
Program," "Sleep With Me" and "Wings of Courage." In addition, he
starred with Lawrence Fishburn and Alfre Woodard in the Emmy Award-
winning HBO special "Miss Evers' Boys."

He has also written screenplays and authored a novel. His production
company, Sheffer Films, is currently developing several projects,
including one in which he will make his directorial debut.

Currently living in Los Angeles, Sheffer enjoys spending time with
his family and writing poetry.
