Tony Shalhoub’s Biography & Age
Tony Shalhoub was born on October 9, 1953, and was named Anthony Marcus Shalhoub at birth. He grew up in a very large nuclear family and had a lot of siblings ahead of him. Shalhoub attended the Green Bay East High School, where his love for acting was kindled when one of his elder sisters put down his name to take part in a theatrical production organized by the school titled “The King & I”. Tony suffered a broken leg in school while he was rehearsing to perform in this play in his final year. He fell off the stage and landed in the pit at the bottom of the stage. He was, however, able to make a miraculous recovery and was fit enough to eventually take part in the play – which was the last one he took part in before completing his studies there. He then proceeded to the University of Wisconsin, Green Bay campus, but unfortunately, he didn’t complete his studies there. He got admission into the University of Southern Maine, where he obtained a Bachelor’s of Arts degree in Drama from the institution. He went further on to gain admission into Yale School of Drama, where he obtained his Master’s degree in Fine Arts graduating in 1980.
