...much they love Stifler. The night before our meeting, a bouncer at a nightclub told him, "Anything you need, Stifler. Anything." This conflation of actor and role is partly because of Scott's limited onscreen profile. His other film credits include Dude, Where's My Car? and Bulletproof Monk. But it's also a tribute to how seriously Scott took what was originally a throwaway role. "He was really just an a______," Scott says of the way the character was written.

Despite the dismal performance of April's Bulletproof Monk, Scott believes he's best suited to be an action hero (he does have really large biceps), though he realizes that he might forever be known as Stifler.

...denim shorts and sandals and still lives in Singapore's notorious Geylang red-light district. "You see prostitutes all the time," he says before adding that he continues living there in memory of his parents, from whom he inherited the house. His daily routine is as austere as a monk's: he sleeps until 1 p.m., and when he wakes, he meditates before climbing 1,000 steps to warm up his calf muscles for his strenuous calligraphy sessions. He works through the night and goes...

...evening when its medieval streets are filled with the sound of jazz. After a day devoted to touring, swimming or an extremely long lunch, there's nothing like settling into Perugia's Arena Santa Giuliana to hear the endlessly inventive saxophonist Sonny Rollins deconstruct the melody of, say, Thelonious Monk's Crepuscule with Nellie - in just the kind of magical twilight that might have inspired it. Monk's angular ballad could tumble out of Rollins' horn on July 17, when the star headlines the Umbria Jazz Festival. If it does, it'll be just one of the perfect, spontaneous moments...
