Donovan was born in Amesbury, Massachusetts, and raised along with two brothers, Michael and Sean, by their mother, Nancy Matthews. Of his childhood, Donovan recalled: 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 and subsequently found him a private scholarship, enabling him to participate in a summer program that helped pave the way for his acting career. He attended Bridgewater State College before transferring to the University of Massachusetts Amherst, where he graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in drama. While attending university, Donovan was a commercial bus driver at UMass Transit Service, where he operated passenger buses as part of the PVTA. He went on to earn his Master of Fine Arts from New York University's Graduate Acting Program at the Tisch School of the Arts. Donovan has over 20 years of martial arts experience. In college, he earned his black belt in Shotokan karate and competed throughout the state. Later, he studied aikido for over six years and Brazilian jiu-jitsu. On July 3, 2009, Donovan, a Boston Red Sox fan since childhood, threw the ceremonial first pitch at the game between the Red Sox and the Seattle Mariners at Fenway Park.
