He is of Jewish background.[1] He began his acting career at the age of 12, starting in commercials, before playing the role of Josh Avery in the television series RoboCop (1994). He landed his first starring role as Murray Murray in the short film Love Child (1995) alongside actress Neve Campbell.
After those pivotal first projects, Dov was cast as the lead role Nick Burns in the 1996 Broadway production A Thousand Clowns alongside actor Judd Hirsch. After returning to Toronto, his name began circulating as he worked his way further into the film industry, starring in the lead roles of both Little Men and Cheaters.
