HE was the fresh faced star who shared the screen with Bill Murray in one of the biggest comedy hits of the '80s – but you'd barely recognise him now.

A rarely-seen film star shocked onlookers this week after being spotted out and about in Los Angeles looking worlds away from his Hollywood heyday.

He was once romantically linked to actress Valerie Bertinelli, and he's worked with some of Hollywood's biggest names from Michael Keaton to Farrah Fawcett and of course Bill Murray.

The actor, 62, is best known for his role in the cult golf comedy Caddyshack alongside Murray.

He played the cocky teen caddie Tony D'Annunzio in the 1980 film.

Despite his success, Scott Colomby has kept a low profile over the years with fans rarely catching a glimpse of the former screen star.

And gone was the mop of dark hair and tight vests showing off his ripped physique.

Instead, he kept it casual in a dark T-Shirt, grey tracksuit bottoms and sneakers.

He also sported a pair of glasses hooked onto his shirt.

Fans of the era might remember him not just from Caddyshack – which also starred Chevvy Chase, Rodney Dangerfield and Ted Knight, but from the raunchy teen hit Porky's where he played smooth talking Brian Schwartz.

The Brooklyn born star began his career in the early 70s and appeared in all three Porky films, which were major box office hits.

The original flick in 1982, directed by Bob Clark, raked in a staggering $160 million off a modest $4-5 million budget.

Porky's also featured a young Kim Cattral and followed a gang of high school boys in the 1950s Florida on a chaotic, coming-of-age quest involving strip clubs and revenge.

Meanwhile, his former flame Valerie was seen out with her new man Mike Goodnough last year, but fans thought it was her body guard.

The One Day at a Time star walked with him after she left the set of The Drew Barrymore Show in New York City.

Another man stood, now known to be Mike, walked beside her on the sidewalk.

A fan spotted them and uploaded the photo via Instagram Threads and captioned it "Hiding in plain sight."
