Mabius was born to Craig Mabius and Elizabeth Mabius. While working as a historian, his father played a pivotal role preserving the Historic Allaire Village. Growing up, he attended the Amherst Regional High School, Massachusetts, where and as a senior he was bestowed upon with the title, ¨Most Dramatic Girly.¨ Although Mabius spent most of his childhood in Massachusetts, he had to move an astonishing 12 times during his school years. For college, he pursued a degree in film theory at the Sarah Lawrence College in Bronxville, New York.
So, when did Mabius start his career in acting? The actor made his film debut starring in the 1995 film, ¨Welcome to the Dollhouse.¨ A year later, he was cast alongside Lili Taylor to appear in the movie, ¨I Shot Andy Warhol.¨ Before the monumental success of ¨Ugly Betty¨ in 2006, Mabius had to make-do with minor roles in the movies ¨Cruel Intentions¨ and ¨Resident Evil,¨ and with a recurring role in the first season of ¨The L Word.¨ In addition to that, Mabius made a guest appearance in an episode of ¨CSI: Miami.¨ The success of ¨Ugly Betty¨ truly catapulted him into super stardom, with People magazine even giving him a place in their list of ¨Sexiest Men Alive¨ in 2006, portraying the character of Daniel Meade, a fashion magazine editor in the aforementioned series. Back in 2010, the man who competed as a luger back in the 80s, was given an opportunity to relive his past dreams as he was appointed an honorary captain for the US luge team for the 2010 Winter Olympics. He was previously a member of the US Junior National Luge Team. Most recently in 2011, Mabius was seen in a lead role in the science-fiction drama, ¨Outcasts.¨
Talking about his personal life, Mabius is married to the interior designer, Ivy Sherman, and they have been hitched since January 2006. Mabius planned his real-life wedding while portraying the character of a groom planning his wedding in the lifetime movie, ¨A Christmas Wedding.¨ The duo initially struck a chord during a health education class back in high school. Together, they bear the responsibilities of parenting two sons, Maxfield Elliot and Rylan Jaxson.

A lot of people say, "Oh, you're that jerk on Ugly Betty (2006)". I don't blame people for having a pop, but I'd like to remind them that I'm not "Daniel Meade" - Interview, 2007.

I'm not very comfortable with (watching my performances). When I watch films or tv that I've done, I get very restless and tend to not sit still. A lot of actors are perfectionists, besides merely being egotists. So I see what I like to change about my performance, as opposed to the things that I tried and seemed to have landed well.
