Early life
Majors was born in Lompoc, California, and spent his early years with his family—his mother, a pastor, Monica, and younger brother Cameron—on the Vandenberg military base due to his father's service in the Air Force. In 2020, Majors reported that "our father, who loved us dearly, just kind of disappeared one day" and that he resurfaced 17 years later. Major has since reunited with his father. The family then moved to Dallas, Texas, shortly. Majors then lived in Georgetown, Texas, just south of Austin, Texas, and later moved to Cedar Hill, Texas. He graduated from Duncanville High School in 2008 after transferring from Cedar Hill High School.
Majors faced adversities as a youth: he was arrested for shoplifting, suspended from high school for getting involved in a fight, and at one point, he lived in his car while doing two jobs to make ends meet. He soon discovered a "secure space" in the world of theatre.
Majors obtained his bachelor's degree at the University of North Carolina School of the Arts and later attended Yale School of Drama; he graduated with an MFA degree in 2016.
Personal life
A daughter is the only child in the household.
