- Patrick Sabongui was born in Montreal to Egyptian immigrants; a psychologist and a French teacher/librarian. He has three older brothers and a younger sister and was raised in a trilingual household, speaking French, English and Arabic. He grew up a competitive athlete, martial-artist, and mountaineer.
He started his artistic journey when he fell in love with Shakespeare in a lit class... so he founded a theatre club, produced, co-directed and played Hamlet (to surprising critical acclaim) in the college's first theatrical production of a classical play. He went on to earn a collegiate degree in Communications: Drama from Vanier College; a BFA in Drama for Human Development from Concordia University in Montreal; a Certificate from the National Theatre Conservatory in Colorado; and a Master of Fine Arts degree in Acting from the University of California.

- [on 'Inside the Seed', a play about the ethics of biogenetics] I'm no expert, but I trust in nature more than I trust in industry. This play forces me to appreciate both sides of the equation. On the one hand, human innovation has graced us with longer, more comfortable lives. On the other, we are taxing the planet's resources and have to learn to manage our food and energy supplies.
