Ahdout was born in Santa Monica, California to Yahya Ahdout and Jacqueline Hayempour, Iranian Jews who escaped to the U.S. with their baby daughter (J. Ahdout's older sister) in 1982^[1] via Pakistan to Israel. Ahdout resides in Brentwood with his parents and siblings, Melody (born in Iran) and Daniel (born in California). He has attended Sinai Akiba Academy and Harvard-Westlake School, and is expected to attend the University of Southern California's film school as of Fall 2007.

He has recently played a guest appearance for the tv show The Unit.
