Scott Caan’s Height, Net Worth and Facts About James Caan’s Son

How tall is Scott Caan? Scott Caan’s height is 5 feet 5 inches (165.1 cm) in 2024. Scott Caan’s net worth is estimated at $16 million and he is the son of James Caan, the late American actor, known for his role in The Godfather.

Scott followed in his father’s footsteps at a young age and is one of the very few child actors who have had a long and successful career. He is best known for playing Detective-Sergeant Danny “Danno” Williams in the CBS crime drama series Hawaii Five-0. Scott is also a scriptwriter and producer.

How Tall is Scott Caan?

Scott Caan’s height is 5 feet 5 inches (165.1 cm) in 2024. The height of the average American man is about 5 feet 9 inches, while that of the average Hollywood actor is about 5 feet 9 inches. All this means that whichever way you look at it, Scott doesn’t quite measure up to the average height for men in either his home country or the movie industry to which he belongs.

When you consider the fact that children are subtly expected to be taller than their parents, it might be a bit surprising to know that that is not Scott’s reality. His father, James Caan, is reportedly about 5 feet 9 inches tall, making him (Scott) a whole 4 inches shorter than his dad. Fortunately for Scott, his well-built body and rugged good looks make it impossible to focus too much on how short he is plus he is too good an actor for us to even care.

Scott Caan’s Net Worth is $16 Million

Scott Caan is worth an impressive $16 million as of 2024. In the nearly 20 years that Scott has been on our TV screens, he has appeared in over 46 movies, some of which are American Outlaws, Meet Dave, Ready to Rumble, Novocaine, In Enemy Hands, Into the Blue, and Friends With Money.

For his role in Hawaii Five-0, it was reported that Caan was paid the sum of $200,000 per episode during the eighth season of the show. Since season 8 consisted of 25 episodes, the calculations show that he made about $5 million for his work on that season alone.

It is no doubt that Hawaii Five-0 marked his major career breakthrough. Other sources of income for the star include book royalties and endorsement deals. All of which have handsomely contributed to his riches. Whichever way you wish to look at it, it is obvious that Caan is a hard worker who never stops hustling and his efforts seem to be paying off quite handsomely.

Scott Caan Has Been Seriously Injured A Few Times on Set

Those fearless stunts that some of our favorite actors have been known to do on the set usually come with a great price. A determined actor like Scott would always insist on doing his own stunts. In fact, his most projected on-screen personae are that of a bad, tough guy who is ever ready to kick someone’s ass. These bad-ass roles are usually accompanied by back-breaking, dangerous stunts that we don’t usually get to see, and many an actor, including Scott, have been injured during the filming of these stunts.

While filming for the series, Hawaii Five-0, Scott had to leave the set to go for surgery in Los Angeles due to a torn Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL). The injury was so severe that it had to be written into the show, albeit lightheartedly. In another season, he suffered a broken arm and had to film while wearing a sling on his arm. In spite of these minor setbacks, Scott is ever ready to move onto the next step of his career and a broken bone or two cannot slow him down.

Scott Caan’s Movies and TV Shows

Scott Caan Is Also A Talented Writer

Scott Caan is definitely a multi-talented man. Apart from his acting, which he is most popularly known for, you might not have known that he is one of those actors who
have a writing career. Scott’s first published work was a humorous compilation of tips for aspiring photographers along with photographs taken by him. It is titled “Scoot Caan’s Photographs” and was published in the year 2007.

Other books written by the Ocean Eleven actor include “No Way Around but Through (2012), “The Performance of Heartbreak and Other Plays” (2013), “Two Wrongs” (2013), “Vanity”, “Photographs by Scott Caan” (2014), “This Isn’t 40” and “The Trouble With Where We Came From”. He has also written various movie scripts, including Dallas 362 and Mercy. Scott has always had a creative mind, and even as a young actor who was just finding his feet, he knew that the desire to write was like an itch he couldn’t resist scratching.

It isn’t a secret that many actors get into writing so they can control the characters they play, however, for Scott, it was that and one other reason. When he was in Playhouse West, in drama class, they kept encountering difficulties in getting rights to the plays they’d rehearsed. Scott saw this as a problem and decided to take up playwriting to solve that problem. He hasn’t written one to rival Shakespeare yet, but we have no doubt he’ll get close soon enough.

He Teaches Surf Lessons and is a Brown Belt Holder in Jiu-Jitsu

The actor is also very physically active even when he’s not on a movie set. He happens to be a Jiu-Jitsu practitioner and has already reached the rank of a brown-belt holder.

It is a testament to Scott Caan’s embodiment of these values that he was able to rise to the rank of brown belt.

According to the International Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Federation (IBJJF), a student must have practiced the art for at least five years before even being considered for a brown belt rank. The brown belt is also a step below the highly esteemed black belt, which means that for Scott Caan, Jiu-Jitsu is not just a fad, but a way of life.

Thanks to his Californian roots, Scott is also a wonderful surfer. He also has a heart of gold and has volunteered with a charity organization called ‘Surfers Healing’ to teach children who are on the autistic spectrum how to surf as a way of coping.

since 2011. The pair met in Hawaii while they were both working; Scott was an actor in the

ever since. There has been no talk of marriage for these two yet, but that hasn’t stopped

Scott Caan was Once a Rapper and Part of a Group Called Whooliganz

Because we’ve already established by now that Scott can do almost anything, it shouldn’t surprise you too much to learn that Scott Caan at one point in time considered himself a rapper. He belonged to a now-defunct hip-hop group known as ‘The Whooliganz,’ which consisted of himself, then known as Mad Skillz, and his fellow MC, The Alchemist.

In the early nineties, they signed a record deal with Tommy Boy Records and recorded an album titled Make Way for the W, but record executives didn’t seem too impressed after listening to their first single titled, Put Your Handz Up. As a result, they were promptly dropped from the label. They split up soon after that and that signified the end of Scott Caan’s professional music career. He and his former bandmate met up years later in 2014 and performed a song together called Byron G.
