Mabius was born in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania to Elizabeth and Craig Mabius; he has a brother, Craig.[1] Mabius has Irish, Austrian and Polish ancestry.[2],[3] After attending Amherst Regional High School, in Amherst, Massachusetts, where he was voted "Most Dramatic Boy" as a senior, he enrolled in Sarah Lawrence College in Bronxville, New York, where he pursued studies in film.
Mabius began his career in 1995 with Welcome to the Dollhouse, an art-house movie which starred Heather Matarazzo, followed by I Shot Andy Warhol, with Lili Taylor, in 1996. He was involved with The Crow franchise on more than one occasion: he auditioned for a role as one of Top Dollar's henchmen in the 1993 original Crow and played Alex Corvis in The Crow: Salvation, the third installment, opposite Kirsten Dunst. His biggest film role to date is as a cop called Matt Addison in Resident Evil. In television, Mabius has appeared on Chicago Hope, Millennium, Popular, The O.C., and the short-lived 2005 series Eyes. He was a regular cast member of The L Word in its first season and returned for one episode in each of the second and third.
As of 2006, he appears in the ABC TV series, Ugly Betty, as Daniel Meade, the fashion magazine editor boss and friend of star America Ferrera's character. Off the success of Ugly Betty, he was named one of the sexiest men alive by People Magazine.
Mabius and his wife Ivy were married in January 2006, and have a son, Maxfield Elliot.[4] The two first met in high school during a sex education class.[5]
