Cabot was born London, England. At the age of 14, he left school to work in an automotive garage, where he served as chauffeur and valet for British actor Frank Pettingell. Gaining interest in theater, he lied about previous acting credits to get roles. He learned the hard way by being fired on his first day of a production. However, Cabot continued finding work and soon received personal calls for employment.
