In 1999, he starred in 10 Things I Hate About You with Julia Stiles before either was enrolled at Columbia. While at Columbia, the only school he even applied to, he studied history, literature, and French, becoming a professed Francophile and acknowledging that his time at the university helped him to grow up. Nevertheless, he dropped out again as soon as the acting bug struck him.
