Move over Chrises, it’s time for a battle of the Hollywood Scotts

For years, movie fans have been forced to make the difficult choice of picking their favourite Hollywood Chris. The laundry list includes options from the Marvel Universe, the Marvel Universe, the Marvel Universe and Chris Pine. TBH we’re pulling for Chris Rock. But what about the Scotts?

Like Chris, there is no shortage of talented Scotts on the big and small screen and that includes two of our faves coming back to TV this fall. The men of Felicity (streaming now on Crave) are reuniting on our TV guide, with Scott Foley (Team Noel) spearheading the new series The Big Leap (Mondays at 9 p.m. ET on CTV2) and Scott Speedman reprising his role as Dr. Nick Marsh on Grey’s Anatomy (Thursdays at 9 p.m. ET on CTV) as a series regular (Team Ben). What to do in a situation as handsome and charming as this one? Try to recreate our favourite Dean and Deluca pastry and make a list of all the Scotts in Hollywood who deserve a little more of our love.

BEST KNOWN FOR: Foley’s big break came in 1999 when he was cast to play Keri Russell’s boyfriend in the J.J. Abrams series Felicity. From there, Foley has continued to earn roles as the likeable love interest, first opposite Sarah Chalke in Scrubs and later opposite Kim Raver on two seasons of Grey’s Anatomy (sweet Henry, if Cristina couldn’t save you, there was truly no hope). Foley stayed in the Shonda Rhimes family and became a series regular on Scandal, sharing several steamy scenes with show lead Kerry Washington. Most recently, Foley starred as FBI agent Will Chase in Whiskey Cavalier, which we are still hoping will be revived after its one excellent season.

WHAT TO SEE HIM IN NEXT: Foley is taking a break from his nice-guy persona to star as a producer on a dance reality series in The Big Leap, with new episodes airing every Monday at 9 p.m. ET on CTV2. Foley’s Nick will stop at nothing to ensure his show gets the drama and ratings it needs to stay on the air and to say we’re already hooked after only a few episodes is like saying Felicity was kinda in a love triangle with Ben and Noel (a.k.a. understatement of the century).

SCOTT RATING: Definitely A Top Scott

Scott Speedman

BEST KNOWN FOR: Like Foley, Canadian actor Scott Speedman also got his start on Felicity where he played the bad boy swimmer (it’s a thing) Ben, who made one comment to Felicity during their high school graduation ceremony and inspired her to ditch medical school at Stanford and move to New York. That’s the power of the Speedman stare. Following four years on Felicity, Speedman appeared in several films, including a recurring role as a vampire hybrid in the Underworld series opposite Kate Beckinsale and the films The Vow, Barney’s Version, and Run This Town. In 2016, Speedman returned to the small screen to star in three seasons of the drama Animal Kingdom.

WHAT TO SEE HIM IN NEXT: Speedman recently reprised his guest role as Dr. Nick Marsh on Grey’s Anatomy, which airs new episodes every Thursday at 9 p.m. ET on CTV. Writers have confirmed that Nick will be a series regular for Season 18 and yeah, we’re freaking out. A love interest for Meredith Grey who has chemistry with the brilliant doc? We’re giving this casting a Harper Avery award.

SCOTT RATING: We will watch Scott Speedman and Scott Moir have a charm-off as the best Canadian Scott any day of the week. Obviously, it would end in a super good-looking draw.
