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.

Born Gerard Tierney, his family was not related to actress Gene Tierney.

According to Scott's son Tim, Scott had a falling out with brother Lawrence Tierney in the late 1960s that lasted nearly two decades.
