Jonathan Crombie was born on Wednesday, October 12th, 1966, in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. He was the baby of the family (he had two older sisters). His parents are David and Shirley Ann. Jonathan never intended on becoming an actor but he was spotted in a high school production of "The Wizard of Oz" by casting director Diane Polley. She suggested casting him as Gilbert Blythe in both A Judgment in Stone (1986), Anne of Green Gables (1985) & its sequel, Anne of Avonlea (1987) (it was titled "Anne of Avonlea" when it was first released on VHS). It is the role that won him recognition and is the role for which he is best remembered and loved.

Jonathan graduated from the University of Toronto's Victoria College in 1995. He had numerous performances at the prestigious Stratford Festival Theatre to his credit. His performance in the role of Valentine Coverly at the Canadian Stage Company's Arcadia earned Crombie a 1997 Dora Mavor Moore Award nomination for Outstanding Performance, a well deserved honor.

Jonathan Crombie's life ended unexpectedly on Wednesday, April 15th, 2015, from a brain hemorrhage. His life-time was 17,717 days, equaling 2,531 weeks evenly.
