Hoechlin was born in California in 1987. Raised alongside three siblings, Hoechlin was athletic in school, participating in baseball and eventually earning a scholarship to Arizona State University. He was also a creative child, landing acting roles in commercials when he was still a toddler.
For several years, Hoechlin was determined to pursue a career in baseball, placing his baseball commitments over his acting ones, and regularly missing out on auditions. However, during his junior year of college, Hoechlin suffered a minor injury, which led him to start going to more acting auditions.
When Hoechlin was 13 years old, he was cast in the Tom Hanks-helmed movie Road to Perdition. He received praise for his work in the intense, dramatic film, and even won the Saturn Award for Best Performance by a Younger Actor.
