Scott Valentine

Valentine's success as Nick Moore on Family Ties led to three separate spin-offs. The first starred Valentine and actor Herschel Bernardi called Taking It Home. Filming was canceled when Bernardi died in 1986. The second spin-off placed Valentine's character in a daycare center. The third was a pilot episode for a spin-off titled The Art of Being Nick; the episode was aired once and co-starred Julia Louis-Dreyfus. "It came in number two and they still didn't pick it up," recalled Valentine.

On September 29, 1985 in Los Angeles, California, Valentine married actress Kym Denyse (Fisher) Stephenson; they have one son. Valentine is now a partner in Excelsior Capital Partners, a boutique investment firm that focuses on the renewable and sustainable energy sector. He is also a movie and television producer.

Valentine was born in Saratoga Springs, New York, the son of Beverly Ann (née Hanna) and Edward Eugene Valentine and Lucien Koenig. He began to pursue acting one year into his college education, attending the American Academy of Dramatic Arts in New York City. He completed the three-year program in one and a half years. He got as far as a screen test for the film The Lords of Discipline when he was hit by a truck in 1981, and his career was halted for three years as he recovered. He moved to Los Angeles and landed a recurring role on the TV series Family Ties. Valentine starred as Nick Moore, the boyfriend of Mallory Keaton from 1985-1989, for seasons 4 through 7.
