Born in the picturesque state of New Hampshire, Baylen's life took a dramatic turn when his family relocated to Northern Alabama, where he spent his formative years. This Midwestern upbringing had a profound impact on his artistic development, shaping his unique perspective and approach to the craft. After completing his undergraduate studies at Auburn University, Baylen further honed his skills at the prestigious Old Globe/University of San Diego Drama School, where he earned his master's degree. This esteemed institution, renowned for its rigorous academic programs and esteemed faculty, provided Baylen with the ideal environment to refine his acting abilities and prepare him for a successful career in the performing arts.
In 2002, Baylen tied the knot with actress Leslie Kalarchian, and the couple welcomed two sons into their family. This newfound sense of responsibility and domesticity did not, however, deter Baylen from pursuing his passion for acting.

This remarkable production, a testament to Baylen's talent and dedication, showcased his ability to tackle complex, nuanced characters and brought him widespread recognition within the industry.
Today, Baylen resides in Brooklyn, New York, where he continues to work tirelessly in film, television, and theater. His impressive resume, which includes a Broadway debut in Henry the IV at Lincoln Center, is a testament to his hard work and perseverance. Despite the demands of his busy schedule, Baylen remains committed to his craft, constantly seeking new challenges and opportunities to grow as an artist.
