Borle was born and raised in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, the son of Andre Bernard Borle, a Swiss a professor of physiology at the University of Pittsburgh. His love for Star Wars and drawing made him want to become a comic book artist when he grew up, but it was only when a friend convinced him to audition for a school play in his sophomore year that he began to develop an interest in acting.
