Early life

Boreanaz was born in Buffalo, New York and grew up in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, where his father, Dave Roberts (born David Thomas Boreanaz), is a weatherperson for WPVI-TV; his mother, Patti Boreanaz, is a travel agent. He is of Czech and Italian descent. However, his ancestors are from the Italian-Slovenian border region which accounts for the Boreanaz name. He was raised as a Catholic. Angel and Seeley Booth, his two most famous characters, were also both raised according to Catholic doctrine.
Boreanaz attended high school at Malvern Preparatory School in Malvern, Pennsylvania, and went to college at Ithaca College in Ithaca, New York.
