Hugh Peddy's early life was marked by a unique upbringing, as he was initially raised by his great-grandmother in the picturesque coastal city of Newport Beach, California, until her passing. Following her death, he was taken in by his grandmother in Los Angeles, where he completed his final two years of high school at the prestigious Crossroads School for the Arts and Sciences in 1988.
After graduating from high school, Hugh went on to pursue higher education, enrolling at the University of California, Berkeley, where he earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in English in 1993.

In an effort to further hone his craft, Hugh made the decision to relocate to London, where he spent several years honing his acting skills by performing in various stage productions and training at the renowned London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art (LAMDA). It was during this time that Hugh graduated from LAMDA in 2002, marking a significant milestone in his journey as a professional actor.
