Gomez's decision to focus on acting began when he was a member of the famed Second City comedy group, where he spent seven years.

He is married to another Second City alum, actress Nia Vardalos, acclaimed for her feature film MY BIG FAT GREEK WEDDING , which was based on the couple's wedding and Gomez's introduction to his wife's family. Gomez, his wife and their daughter make their home in Los Angeles.
