Douglas Emerson

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Douglas Emerson played Scott Scanlon on Beverly Hills 90210 in the show's first and second seasons. Scott was a nerdy freshman and best friends with David Silver, played by Brian Austin Green. As David became increasingly close with the show's core popular group, however, the Scott-David friendship suffered.

In the second season, Emerson was no longer a full-time character but only a special guest star. His character famously killed himself at his birthday party, when he twirled a gun around and accidentally shot himself, bleeding all over his mom's Persian rug as David looked on in horror.

He gave up acting to join the military. In 2002 he was a staff sergeant in the U. S. Air Force and was assigned to Holloman AFB in New Mexico. He has two children with his wife, Emily.

Emerson now works for a company called "Home Alliance", where he manages properties that are rent to own. He lives with his wife, Emily, and children in Minnesota.^{[citation needed]}
