Cash Warren was born as (Cash Garner Warren) in Los Angeles, California on January 10, 1979, the son of actor Michael Warren. Warren Junior attended high school—Crossroads School—in Santa Monica, California, with famous actress Kate Hudson.

At Crossroads, Warren also played basketball with his buddy Baron Davis, who is now an NBA basketball star, currently playing as point guard for the Golden State Warriors (Warren and Alba used to attend Davis’ games together). After Crossroads, Warren went on to “bigger and better things” by attending Yale, where he later graduated.

Warren started making his living as a Hollywood film and television crewmember, director’s assistant, and producer in 2004, with his first project being Taxi (2004), as an assistant to the director, Tim Story. Taxi starred Queen Latifah, Jimmy Fallon, Henry Simmons, and Jennifer Esposito. However, nobody (save for Story) really knew who he was as a result.
