Lookout, Hollywood… a star is born

ccording to Scott Gurney ’95, “It doesn’t matter if you come from a small town or a big city, as long as you have the drive, you can succeed.”

Some alums may recall cheering for Gurney as he and his teammates won the NCAA Division III Men’s Soccer National Championship in 1990. Today, Gurney’s playing to a much bigger crowd—the millions of fans who watch Steel Chariots each week on Fox. On the show, Gurney plays the youngest son in a family of race car drivers.

Scott began his acting career as a model for catalog retailer International Male in San Diego, and then went to Los Angeles and modeled for Calvin Klein and Polo Sport.
In L.A., he began taking acting classes and auditioning for TV shows. The offers to guest star have been coming ever since.

Gurney has appeared on the television shows Seventh Heaven, Cybil, Step By Step, and Married… with Children. He has also appeared in several NBC movies of the week.
But Gurney’s not letting his burgeoning acting career push modeling out of the picture. He recently flew to Europe for a two-month modeling assignment.
