While Paul Giamatti has not publicly stated his political affiliation, sources say that he is an ardent Democrat. Additionally, Connecticut, the state where he was born, has backed the Democrat in the past six presidential elections.
Paul Edward Valentine Giamatti was born on June 6, 1967, the son of A. Bartlett "Bart" Giamatti, a former president of Yale University and commissioner of Major League Baseball (who perhaps became most famous for banning Pete Rose from baseball). His mother was a prep-school English teacher and former actor.
Paul Giamatti attended Choate Rosemary Hall, a prestigious prep school in Wallingford, Connecticut, before heading to Yale University to study English. He graduated in 1989 and soon after moved to Seattle. Not finding what he was looking for out west, Giamatti returned to Connecticut to attend the Yale University School of Drama.
