Caviezel was born in Mount Vernon, Washington, on September 26, 1968. His mother, Margaret (née Lavery), is a former stage actress and homemaker, and his father, James Caviezel, is a chiropractor.[1][2] He has a younger brother, Timothy, and three sisters, Ann, Amy, and Erin, and was raised in a tight-knit Catholic[3][4] family in Conway, Washington. His surname is of Romansh origin. His father is of Swiss (paternal) and Slovak (maternal) descent, while his mother is of Irish descent.[5][6] Caviezels father attended UCLA and played basketball for coach John Wooden, prompting all the Caviezel siblings to play the sport.[7] Caviezel attended Mount Vernon High School for two years, and then moved to Seattle and lived with family friends in order to play basketball at ODea High School, a Catholic high school. The following spring, he transferred from ODea to another Catholic school, John F. Kennedy Memorial High School in Burien, where he played basketball, graduating in 1987. Following high school, Caviezel enrolled at Bellevue College, where the 62 athlete played college basketball. A foot injury in his second year put an end to his hopes of a basketball career in the NBA. He transferred to the University of Washington where he turned his focus to acting and became a member of the Sigma Chi fraternity.[7]youtube/watch?v=AAAca108HfU
