Maz was raised in the San Francisco Bay Area, where he caught the acting bug after portraying the lead in his
eighth grade production of “Li’l Abner.”He studied theater throughout high school, and then went on to earn a
BA in Political Science and Italian at UC Berkeley. In the fall of 1994, while beginning a Ph.D. program in Political
Science at UCLA, he visited the university’s prestigious theater program –and was immediately hooked back on
acting. This led to him dropping out of the Ph.D. program to pursue his childhood passion.
