Scott Brady

Scott Brady was an American film actor.

Born Gerard Kenneth Tierney in Brooklyn, New York, he was the younger brother to a fellow actor, Lawrence Tierney, Brady began his film career after taking drama classes after World War II. The actor specialized in tough-guy roles in films like He Walked by Night and Johnny Guitar. He appeared regularly on the 1970s cop show, Police Story. He played lead to Clint Eastwood's third billing in Ambush at Cimarron Pass which Eastwood is quoted as saying was "probably the lousiest western ever made." His last film role was in the 1984 movie Gremlins. He is often confused with his brother, Tierney, whom he resembles. Brady was a lumberjack early in life before taking up acting.
