The Party Of Five alum, who currently stars as Dr. Richard Miller on the Fox medical drama Doc , confirmed the split Wednesday, telling The Times in a statement, 'After 21 years of marriage, I have made the most difficult decision of my life, and filed for divorce from my wife Kelley.' Kelley Wolf posted the news of the split on Tuesday on social media. 'This has been a long, quiet journey for me — rooted in hope, patience, and care for our children,' she wrote. 'While I will not speak publicly about the details, I feel peace knowing that I've done everything I can to walk this path with integrity and compassion.' She called Scott Wolf 'one of the best fathers I've ever known and one of the best partners a woman could have the privilege of sharing life with. He is kind, thoughtful, funny, and beautiful in spirit.' Both of them noted that they were focused on their kids, with Scott, 57, saying they were 'the loves of our lives' and Kelley, 48, calling them 'the most extraordinary children.' They share sons Jackson, 16, and Miller, 12, and daughter Lucy, 11. The actor met the star of MTV's The Real World: New Orleans through mutual friends in 2002 on a blind date that almost didn't happen. 'We were meeting at a restaurant and she wound up turning up almost a full hour late,' the actor said in 2021 on Access Hollywood . 'I was asking other people at the bar. I was like, 'How long do you wait for a blind date?' And they were like, 'Kind of an hour tops.' So she made it under the wire.' Turns out she was stuck in 'horrible' New York traffic, he said. They married in 2004 in her hometown of Fayetteville, Arkansas, and honeymooned in Africa. – Los Angeles Times/Tribune News Service

Whale caught in cray line near Moeraki freed
A young humpback whale entangled in ropes and in "immediate danger" off the coast of a small fishing village north of Dunedin has been freed. A co-ordinated effort between the Department of Conservation's expert whale disentanglement team, a local fishing crew and mana whenua freed the juvenile to sub-adult whale yesterday about 10.45am, off the coast near Moeraki. Doc coastal Otago operations manager Gabe Davies said the whale, believed to up to 9m long, was in immediate danger as it was caught in a 12mm braided cray-pot line with a single float. Doc made the decision to work with a local fishing crew already on-site. "We're incredibly grateful to the local crew for their calm response and skilled handling of a difficult situation," Mr Davies said. "This outcome shows what's possible when people on the water act calmly and responsibly." Mr Davies said the response highlighted the value of strong local relationships. "Working closely with Te Rūnaka o Moeraki and experienced fishers made all the difference. Everyone had a shared goal — to help this animal get free safely.' Doc disentanglement team leader Dr Cat Peters said no-one could be blamed for the incident. "They [humpbacks] tend to be a bit like the puppies of the sea; they'll play with things or swim close to things as they're making their way up our coast. "Once they get one bit of entanglement on them, they tend to panic and that just worsens the entanglement." Entanglements were more frequent at this time of year when whales migrated north to breeding grounds in warmer waters and in September when they returned. She said it was important to save the entangled whales: "Every whale counts." The team was involved in up to 20 entanglements a year. The hardest part of the job was finding the whales after they were entangled, she said. Doc was aware of another sighting from Friday. There might still be a second entangled whale off the coast of the Chrystalls Beach-Bull Creek area, east of Milton. It was also possible the whale freed at Moeraki had remnants of cray line still attached. Doc's expert disentanglement team remained on stand-by. What to do If you spot a whale that appears entangled or in distress — — Call 0800 DOC HOT (0800 362 468) immediately. — Note the location, time and description. — Stay well clear. Do not approach or attempt to intervene. — More information on whale entanglement and how to help can be found at:

Harris Yulin, actor who perpetually played the bad guy, dies at 87
'I'm not always the bad guy,' he told The New York Times in 2000. 'It just seems to be what I'm known for.' Advertisement He wasn't just any bad guy. One reviewer characterized him as 'an eloquent growler.' Another wrote that 'his whiskeyed voice sounds just like that of John Huston.' Get Starting Point A guide through the most important stories of the morning, delivered Monday through Friday. Enter Email Sign Up Honors followed. Mr. Yulin was nominated in 1996 for a prime time Emmy Award for playing a crime boss in the TV comedy series 'Frasier.' For his work in theater, he won the Lucille Lortel Award from the League of Off Broadway Theaters for his direction of Horton Foote's 'The Trip to Bountiful' in 2006. In the late 1990s he won Drama Desk nominations for acting on Broadway in 'The Diary of Anne Frank' and Arthur Miller's 'The Price.' Early in his career, in 1963, he was cast in 'Next Time I'll Sing for You,' starring James Earl Jones and Estelle Parsons at the off-Broadway Phoenix Theater. The play bombed, he recalled to the Times in 2000. Advertisement vYulin made his Broadway debut in 1980 starring in a revival of Lillian Hellman's 'Watch on the Rhine.' He also appeared in Broadway productions of Friedrich Dürrenmatt's 'The Visit' (1992) and Henrik Ibsen's 'Hedda Gabler' (2001). And his performance in 2010 as Willy Loman in Arthur Miller's 'Death of a Salesman,' at Dublin's Gate Theater, got rave reviews. Mr. Yulin's first major film was in the offbeat comedy 'End of the Road' (1970), as a fellow college teacher opposite Stacy Keach. He played Wyatt Earp in 'Doc' (1971); a corrupt Miami police detective in 'Scarface' (1983), alongside Al Pacino; an irate judge in 'Ghostbusters II' (1989); and a White House national security adviser in 'Clear and Present Danger' (1994), with Harrison Ford. Reviewing 'Doc' in 1971, Roger Ebert wrote that Mr. Yulin and Keach 'have such a quiet way of projecting the willingness to do violence that you realize, after a while, that most Western actors are overactors.' On television, beginning in the 1960s, Mr. Yulin appeared in shows like 'Ironside,' 'Kojak' and 'Little House on the Prairie.' In the following decades he took on roles in the 1985 miniseries 'Robert Kennedy and His Times' (playing McCarthy), 'Murphy Brown' and 'Buffy the Vampire Slayer.' More recently he was in 'The Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt' and 'Ozark.' 'Mr. Yulin's characters are quintessentially weary of this world, worn out by its ugliness and many disappointments,' Tara Ariano and Adam Sternbergh wrote in the book 'Hey! It's That Guy!' (2005), a who's who of character actors. 'No one knows better than those characters all the ways in which humanity and its various institutions can be corrupted and destroyed -- primarily because Yulin's characters have been tasked with destroying them.' Advertisement Mr. Yulin was born Harris Bart Goldberg on Nov. 5, 1937, in Los Angeles. Abandoned as an infant on the steps of an orphanage, he was adopted when he was 4 months old by Dr. Isaac Goldberg, a dentist, and his wife, Sylvia. (Yulin was a surname in Goldberg's family in Russia; Mr. Yulin adopted it for professional reasons.) He attended the University of Southern California without graduating and served in the U.S. Army for a year. He then embarked on a short-lived career as an artist in Italy. 'I tried to be a painter for a while in Florence, and I was extremely bad at it,' he told the Times in 2000. In 1962, after trifling with architecture as well, he moved to Tel Aviv, Israel, where friends urged him to try directing and acting. He did. At some point, through one of his father's patients, he was introduced to Jeff Corey, an actor and drama coach. Mr. Yulin married actress Gwen Welles in 1975; she died in 1993. In 2005, he married Lowman. His stepdaughter, actress Claire Lucido, died in 2021 at 30. His wife is his only immediate survivor. In addition to acting and directing, Mr. Yulin taught at the Juilliard School and the Graduate School of the Arts at Columbia University. He acknowledged his stature in the acting world in an interview with The Irish Times in 2010. 'I'm not that high-profile,' he said. 'I just do the next thing that comes along.' By most accounts, he did it well. Advertisement In the lead role in the American premiere of Athol Fugard's 'A Lesson From Aloes' in 1980, at the Yale Repertory Theater, playing an Afrikaner and comrade of a Black revolutionary (James Earl Jones), Mr. Yulin delivered 'a beautifully modulated, contemplative performance,' Mel Gussow wrote in the Times. And in reviewing 'The Price' in 1999, the Times' Ben Brantley said that Mr. Yulin 'seems to have been destined to play' Walter Franz, the son of a businessman who went bankrupt after the 1929 Stock Market crashed. 'The actor's natural self-important stateliness works beautifully,' he wrote, 'and you're always aware of the friction between the smooth surface and the roughness of angry confusion beneath.' Mr. Yulin never stopped working. At his death he was preparing for a role in the television series 'American Classic,' with Kevin Kline and Laura Linney. Its director, Michael Hoffman, said of him in a statement after his death, 'His marriage of immense technique with an always fresh sense of discovery gave his work an immediacy and vitality and purity I've experienced nowhere else.'

'Doc' Star Scott Wolf Addresses a Major Life Change
On-screen, Scott Wolf had a great year with the first season of his Fox series, Doc, but off-screen, the 57-year-old actor is going through some major life changes at home. On June 10, his wife of 21 years, Kelley Wolf, announced on her Instagram account that they were divorcing. "It is with a heavy heart that Scott and I are moving forward with the dissolution of our marriage," she wrote in the caption. "This has been a long, quiet journey for me—rooted in hope, patience, and care for our children." The former couple shares three children, Jackson, 16, Miller, 12, and Lucy, 11. They married in 2004 after two years of dating. Kelley Wolf, who starred on MTV's The Real World: New Orleans in 20020, noted that she "will not speak publicly about the details" of their split, but knows that she's "done everything... to walk this path with integrity and compassion." The reality star also praised Wolf for being "one of the best fathers I've ever known and one of the best partners a woman could have the privilege of sharing life with. He is kind, thoughtful, funny, and beautiful in spirit." On June 11, the Party of Five actor addressed their divorce in a statement to People. "After 21 years of marriage, I have made the most difficult decision of my life, and filed for divorce from my wife Kelley,' he said. 'Our children have always been, and continue to be, the loves of our lives and our every priority, so I kindly ask for privacy at this time as we help guide them through this new chapter." The former duo hinted on their social media pages over the last year that something was going on behind the scenes — and fans picked up on it. "Ugh, I sensed this was coming. So sorry to hear," one of Kelley's followers wrote in the comments under the divorce announcement. It also looks like Kelley is getting ready for a move as she shared an Instagram Story on June 11 with a heap of clothes on the couch. She wrote on the image, "Packing... and sorting through the old and the new. I look forward with a heart open and wide... as always."'Doc' Star Scott Wolf Addresses a Major Life Change first appeared on Men's Journal on Jun 11, 2025
