Early life and education

[edit]

Porter was born on September 21, 1969, inPittsburgh, Pennsylvania, to William Ellis Porter and Cloerinda Jean Johnson Porter Ford.[1][9][10] His sister is Mary Martha E. Ford.[11][12][13] He grew up in a "very religious"Pentecostal family[14] and has described beingsexually abused by his stepfather between the ages of 7 and 12.[14]

He attended Reizenstein Middle School, before graduating fromAllderdice High School in Pittsburgh andPittsburgh Creative and Performing Arts School in 1987.[15] During the summers of 1985 through 1987, Porter was a member of entertainment groups "Spirit" and "Flash," which performed daily at Kennywood, a Pittsburgh-area amusement park.

Although he was eager to move to New York City, one of Porter's high school teachers encouraged him to apply toCarnegie Mellon University.[16] He credits his teachers as "angels in his life" for guiding him towards educational opportunities that prepared him for his career. Porter once reflected upon this decision:[16]

It's about access. It's about opportunity. It's about knowledge. I lived a 12-minute drive from Carnegie Mellon University for my entire life and had no idea that it was one of the best drama schools in the world. How did I not know that? This is what we mean when we say it's not equal—it's not a level playing field. Had [my teacher] not said something, I would have moved to New York City unprepared and tanked. It was because of teachers, the angels in my life who saw me before I could even see myself, and said, "You're going over here. Just listen." And I knew enough to actually shut up and listen.

He graduated from theCollege of Fine Arts atCarnegie Mellon University with aBachelor of Fine Arts in Drama in 1991[17] and later earned a certification from the graduate-level Professional Program in Screenwriting atUCLA.[18]
