Walsh upon birth in Los Angeles, California, film and television actor Dylan Walsh was raised by parents who worked for the Foreign Service and who were constantly traveling around the world. Dylan lived in several countries before his family finally settled in a suburban Virginia community near Washington, D.C., where he attended high school.
