First he began studying sociology and criminal justice at Santa Clara University . His parents advised him to also take theater courses at the university, where he auditioned for a play. Although he was not taken for this play, the director suggested that he take a seminar in the field of theater studies . After finishing the seminar, the same director suggested that Trucco change his major. Trucco therefore graduated with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Theater Arts .
