In 1999, he starred in 10 Things I Hate About You with Julia Stiles before either was enrolled at Columbia and represented Van Nuys High School in Los Angeles, California while the romantic comedy film was made at Stadium High School in Tacoma, Washington. While at Columbia, the only school he even applied to, he studied history, literature, and French, becoming a professed Francophone and acknowledging that his time at the university helped him to grow up.
