User:Jimmiejohnsonconfetti/Jonathan Roumie

Roumie was born on July 1, 1974 in New York City where he was also raised. His father is Egyptian, his paternal grandfather was born in Syria, and his mother is Irish. Though baptized into the Greek Orthodox faith, Roumie is now a practicing Catholic due to his mother's Irish Catholic identity and the fact that his family struggled to find a Greek Orthodox church in the suburbs of New York. Because of the lack of Orthodox services, the family decided to attend the local Catholic church (where Roumie would receive First Communion and make his Confirmation into the Catholic faith). He holds a degree in film from the School of Visual Arts.
