Early life and education

Ebon Moss-Bachrach was born on March 19, 1977[1] in New York City,[2] the son of Renee Moss and Eric Bachrach, who run a music school in Springfield, Massachusetts. His father was born in Germany to Jewish-American parents.[3]

Moss-Bachrach attended high school at Amherst Regional High School in Massachusetts, and graduated from Columbia University in 1999 with a B.A. in English Literature. He initially was an American history major and a music studies major.[4] During his third year of college, he studied abroad in Alicante, Spain for a semester.[5]

As a child, Moss-Bachrach had a passion for theatre and movies, and also loved to read. Some of his favorite authors were Isaac Asimov and Piers Anthony. He spent much of his childhood indoors,[6] and described his younger self as an "escapist."[4] In high school, Moss-Bachrach joined the school band, and became fond of performing. One of his favorite musical artists was Ornette Coleman.[6]

During his first year of college, Moss-Bachrach took an acting class out of curiosity, and quickly became inspired to pursue theater.[7] After the class, he became an apprentice at the Williamstown Theatre Festival to gain some experience in theater.[4] Moss-Bachrach went on to study acting and the Meisner technique at the William Esper Studio in New York City.[8][9][10][11]
