Seann William Scott, best known for his breakout role in the "American Pie" franchise, has entered a treatment facility for undisclosed issues.
The actor's reps told People magazine in a statement: "Seann William Scott has voluntarily admitted himself for proactive treatment to address health and personal issues. He appreciates the support of his many fans at this time."
It is unknown where he is being treated or what prompted the decision.
Scott was most recently seen in the 2010 Kevin Smith buddy comedy "Cop Out," starring Bruce Willis and Tracy Morgan. He also recently wrapped production on "Goon," a hockey comedy written by Judd Apatow regulars Jay Baruchel and Evan Goldberg. Scott stars as Doug, a small-town bouncer who, after physically defending his best friend (Baruchel) at a hockey game, is recruited to play the enforcer for a minor-league team.
While Scott has worked steadily since his breakout "Pie" role in the late '90s, movie audiences will always associate him with the lovably inappropriate Steve Stifler. MTV News caught up with the actor last year while he was promoting "Cop Out" to talk about a potential fourth "American Pie" movie. While he was optimistic about the possibility and said the proposed story line "could be great," he admitted some reluctance about rejoining the "American Pie" franchise.
"I did three of them," he said. "I had so much fun and loved the character, [but] I don't want to be known as that character forever. Now I'm realizing that I probably will be known as that character forever."
