He is of Haitian descent,[3] and was raised as an Orthodox Jew in Montreal.[4] He studied political science at Concordia University with the plan of going into law,[1] but decided to pursue acting, a dream he had always felt to be unattainable, after unexpectedly meeting Orlando Jones while working at Future Shop.[1]
