Kehidupan awal
Donovan was born in Amesbury, Massachusetts, and grew up with two brothers, Michael and Sean, by their mother, Nancy Matthews. His childhood, Donovan recalls:
I grew very poor. We grew up with prosperity - a single mother with three boys. We have nothing. Christmas is coming, he rewraps the gift he gave us before. We moved about 10 times in my childhood. When you get home from school and the lights are not on, you think: we move! You can not pay utility bills on welfare. We became very frugal.
At Amesbury High School, Donovan is mentored by teacher Patricia Hoyt. She helped him start the drama club and later found him a private scholarship, allowing him to participate in a summer program that helped pave the way for his acting career. He attended Bridgewater State College before moving to the University of Massachusetts Amherst, where he graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in drama.
While studying at the university, Donovan is a commercial bus driver at UMass Transit Service, where he operates passenger buses as part of PVTA. He went on to earn a Master of Fine Arts from a University of New York Graduate Degree Program at Tisch School of the Arts.
