He was raised mainly in Los Angeles's Van Nuys neighborhood, where his father worked as a college professor.

Saenz appeared in the 2001 film Rock Star briefly, as seen in the glass booth auditions when Mark Wahlberg's and Jennifer Aniston's characters walk into the audition room. Before Wahlberg's character takes his turn in audition, he glares at the two women. In the episode "Burt Mitzvah: The Musical," he also appeared as the singing voice for Jimmy Chance on the television show Raising Hope, singing the song 'Rock the Torah'.
In 2000, Saenz formed Steel Panther, a satirical metal band formed in Parrish under the name Metal Shop (soon turned into Metal Skool, Danger Kitty [for a commercial], then into Steel Panther).
