Scott Eugene Valentine (born June 3, 1958) is an American actor, best known for his role as Nick Moore on the series Family Ties .
Valentine was born in Saratoga Springs, New York, the son of Beverly Ann (née Hanna) and Edward Eugene Valentine. [1] [ irrelevant citation ] He began to pursue acting one year into his college education, attending the American Academy of Dramatic Arts in New York City. He completed the three-year program in one and a half years. He got as far as a screen test for the film The Lords of Discipline when he was hit, run over, and dragged by a truck on September 17, 1981 and his career was halted for three years as he recovered. He moved to Los Angeles and landed a recurring role on the TV series Family Ties as Nick Moore, the loveable but dim-witted boyfriend of Mallory Keaton from 1985 to 1989, for seasons 4 through 7.
During an interview for Montreal radio station CJAD, Valentine thought the role was not challenging enough for the money he was receiving, saying: "I'm so glad I went to the American Academy of Dramatic Arts and to all the other fine acting institutions so I could grunt on primetime television. The primal dig, the date from hell. It was a lot of fun, but literally there were times where I only had to utter two guttural utterances in a show and they paid me a bundle of cash for it. I felt bad at times." [2]
Valentine's success as Nick Moore on Family Ties led to three separate spin-offs. The first starred Valentine and actor Herschel Bernardi called Taking It Home. Filming was canceled when Bernardi died in 1986. The second spin-off placed Valentine's character in a Friends -like environment in New York City. The third was a pilot episode for a spin-off titled The Art of Being Nick ; the episode aired once and co-starred Julia Louis-Dreyfus. "It came in number two and they still didn't pick it up," recalled Valentine. [2]
He has appeared since then as a guest actor in several hit television series such as CSI: NY , NewsRadio , and JAG ; his first major motion picture, My Demon Lover ; and numerous TV and direct-to-video films. He also voiced The Phantom in Phantom 2040 . He portrayed Metallo in an episode of Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman TV series. [3]
On September 29, 1985, in Los Angeles, Valentine married actress Kym Denyse (Fisher) Stephenson. Valentine and Stephenson divorced February 14, 2012. Valentine has four sons from the marriage; Trevin John (1986), Shayler Stephenson (1988), Jesstin Jay-Owen (1992) and Caden Edward (1998).[ citation needed ]
On November 7, 2021, Valentine married Jennifer (Malchow) Wood, another Saratoga Springs native, in their hometown of Saratoga Springs.[ citation needed ]
Valentine is a partner in Excelsior Capital Partners, a boutique investment firm that focuses on the renewable and sustainable energy sector. [4]
