During his high school years at Hamden High School in Hamden, Connecticut, Louis took auto mechanics and carpentry classes, but it was really his acting and theater classes that interested him. In 1990, Louis was invited to appear in a sports commercial and he accepted the offer. After seeing himself on TV is when Louis became hooked! However, he needed to earn a steady income, so he took the Law Enforcement Exam and soon found himself in the academy to becoming a law enforcement officer, where he graduated second in his class of over 100 cadets. After almost 20 years of service, Louis was forced to retire due to a back injury he suffered while on duty.
