London attended Oberlin College,[1] in Oberlin, Ohio, where he continued to act while majoring in English. He soon moved to New York City, after his graduation in 1995, to begin his acting career.

London landed one of his first major roles alongside actor Robin Williams in the 1998 movie, Patch Adams (film).[2] He also appeared on stage in two Beth Henley plays.
