Long attended Vassar College, where he was a member of the sketch comedy group Laughingstock and starred in several plays including Butterflies are Free. He left college early to pursue his career. Before leaving, he worked at Sacred Heart University in Fairfield, Connecticut as an acting instructor/counselor for a children's theater group. He dated Drew Barrymore in 2008, but then they split. In 2009 they reunited and are currently dating.
