Scott Wolf says that the global success of “Party of Five” could be very overwhelming at times.
“It was intense,” Wolf, who played Bailey Salinger in the hit ’90s teen drama, tells Page Six.
He recalls being “rundown” by fans on a trip to London during the height of the show, which ran from 1994 to 2000.
“I was visiting for the first time,” he explains, adding that ” screaming people” chased him down the street, “That was a lot.”
Despite this, Wolf says that he was “really ready for [the show] artistically, creatively” and calls it a “gift” because “the material was just so good.”
And that included his character sometimes being not so kind, especially when it came to his on-again, off-again relationship with Sarah Reeves, played by Jennifer Love Hewitt.
“He could definitely be douchey,” Wolf, 56, admits with a laugh, before noting that “he was guiding himself … he was trying to figure out how to be a person by himself.”
Over the years the cast of the hit show, which included Matthew Fox, Neve Campbell and Lacey Chabert, has stayed in touch, according to Wolf.
“I still love all of them very much … that cast, there was something really special about it,” Wolf tells us.
Four years after the show ended, Wolf married Kelley Limp, an alumna of MTV’s “The Real World: New Orleans.”
Between raising the couple’s three kids, Jackson, 15, Miller, 12, and Lucy, 10, Wolf is starring in the new Fox drama “Doc.”
It’s the fourth time that Wolf has played a doctor on screen and jokes that “somehow I’ve come to believe that I sort of have some sort of [medical] ability to sort of put symptoms that I’m seeing together.”
“I’m not a real doctor,” he concedes, “but I play one on TV. I can probably be a little helpful if you’re dealing with something.”
