Early lifeDonovan was born in Amesbury, Massachusetts,[1] and raised along with two brothers, Michael and Sean, by their mother, Nancy Matthews.[3] Of his childhood, Donovan recalled:[4] {{quote|I grew up really poor. We grew up on welfare – a single mom with three boys. We didn't have anything. Christmas would come around, she'd rewrap gifts she'd given us before. We moved about 10 times in my childhood. When you come home from school and the lights don't go on, you think: we're moving! You can't pay electric bills on welfare. We became very frugal. | speaking to Miami.com}}At Amesbury High School, Donovan was mentored by teacher Patricia Hoyt. She helped him start a drama club[5] and subsequently found him a private scholarship, enabling him to participate in a summer program that helped pave the way for his acting career.[6] He attended Bridgewater State College before transferring to the University of Massachusetts Amherst, where he graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in drama.
