The two-time Oscar-nominated actor studied history at Yale University. There, a back injury forced him to retire from the crew team early. That’s when he tried his hand at theater. After he graduated, Edward moved to Japan to consult on behalf of his grandfather’s nonprofit, Enterprise Foundation. While there, he studied Aikido, a martial art, and learned Japanese.
