Born August 10, 1971 in Washington, DC, Theroux came from an artistic family: His uncle, Paul, wrote The Mosquito Coast, while his cousin, Louis, is a journalist. He discovered acting while attending a boarding school (after being expelled from several high schools) and he pursued it on a local level until he turned 18, when he moved to England and attended the prestigious British American Drama Academy. Upon graduating, he moved to New York City to pursue a career in theater. It was there that he befriended Ben Stiller.
