Gugun Deep Singh was born in Toronto, Canada, and moved with his family to Los Angeles to finish high school. He spent almost 10 years preparing for a career in medicine. Years of fascination with the theatre led him to put his studies on hold to attend drama school in Chicago and New York. After working Off-Broadway, he returned to the west coast for work in film and television while continuing to add to his theatre resume. He now works out of both Toronto and Los Angeles.
