The Real Reason You Stopped Hearing About Seann William Scott

Sure, the actor who gained prominence as Stifler in the American Pie series and Wheeler in Role Models series still pops up in movies and on TV shows, but not with the regularity or high profile he once did. Here's what happened to Seann William Scott.

In March 2011, Seann William Scott had to abandon any career momentum he'd picked up and drop out of the Hollywood entertainment machine for a while. It came as a surprise to Scott's fans, but as it turned out, it was absolutely necessary, because he had to get his personal life in order. According to TMZ, the actor voluntarily checked himself into a treatment facility to address unspecified health and personal issues. He stayed for 30 days, then went off to film the fourth American Pie movie, American Reunion.

In the decade since his stint in rehab, Scott has never publicly addressed what issues led to his decision to seek professional help, nor has he appeared in any tabloid or media reports getting into trouble. He insisted to People in 2003,

"I don't really party. If I did, it would probably just be trying a new bottle of wine."

If he's trying to avoid vices or other triggers for the demons that led him to step away from his daily life to get his head clear ten years ago, then it's probably best he avoids or limits his time as a Hollywood player, which could mean a decreased chance of landing big roles.
