When he was younger, he aspired to be an orthopaedic surgeon, inspired by the doctors that helped him with his own condition, Osteochondritis dissecans. To make money to get into medical school, his mother suggested he did commercials. Ironically, this instead lead him to an acting career.

He wore leg braces from ages 7-9 because of a condition called Osteochondritis of the apophysis of the femur (now known as Osteochondritis dissecans.) With the leg braces, he played baseball and had somebody else run for him after he hit the ball.
