Lost to TV from 1959-1962 as Shotgun Slade and from 1974 to 1978 as the barman in Police Story. Died from respiratory failure.

Scott Brady Facts
Scott dropped out of high school to enlist in the Navy and got his G.E.D. a couple of years later. At the enlistment station he initially got into the line for the Marines but switched to the Navy when he saw his friends in that line, a decision he thinks saved his life. Similarly, in the Navy he volunteered for gunnery school and was assigned to be a torpedo bomber tail gunner but eventually found himself as a mechanic's mate, another life-saving twist of fate in his opinion.

Scott's father Lawrence Sr. retired to California in the late 1950s and, through his sons, got some work in print advertising.
