[edit] Early life and career
Grimes was born in Lowell, Massachusetts, the son of Pam and Rick Grimes. He lived in neighboring Dracut, Massachusetts for much of his youth, and attended Dracut Public Schools.[1] His sister, Heather Grimes, is also an actress. He is the uncle of Camryn Grimes, who is best known for her role as "Cassie Newman" on The Young and the Restless.
Grimes started acting at an early age. In 1984, at the age of 13, he co-starred with Mickey Rooney in a made-for-TV holiday movie entitled, It Came Upon the Midnight Clear.[2] In 1985, he appeared in an episode of the Twilight Zone called Little Boy Lost.
He also began singing in childhood, and in March 1986 appeared on a Bob Hope TV special, singing "Somewhere Over The Rainbow". The special was taped in Sweden with the King and Queen in attendance. In 1987 he performed as a guest vocalist on the Time album by Richard Carpenter, where Carpenter thanked the 15-year old Grimes for his "spirited" performance, commenting in the liner notes, "I believe young Scott to have quite a future in music." His first music album, Scott Grimes, was issued by A&M Records in 1989. In 2005 he released his second album, Livin' on the Run, and in 2010 issued the third, Drive .
In 1987 he voiced Pinocchio in the dark animated film Pinocchio and the Emperor of the Night. In 1988, he appeared on Super Password with Bert Convy, Dwayne Hickman, Connie Stevens, and her daughter Tricia Leigh Fisher.[3] He had also guest starred on the NBC sitcom "Wings". He is also known for his 1987 recurring role on Who's the Boss as Alyssa Milano's character's love-interest, Chad McCann and then appeared regularly in the 1994-2000 series Party of Five as Will McCorkle. He appeared on the NBC prime time show ER playing Dr. Archie Morris, a role he started in 2003 and portrayed until the series' end in 2009. First as a recurring character on ER, he later was upgraded to a series regular in Season 12. His film credits include the dark comedy Who's Your Monkey and Ridley Scott's Robin Hood with Russell Crowe and Cate Blanchett. On October 11, 2010, Grimes announced on his Twitter website that he would voice a recurring character on the animated series Family Guy.[4] That recurring character is Joe Swanson's thought-to-be-dead son, Kevin Swanson.
