Zamprogna is the brother of Gema Zamprogna and twin of Amanda Zamprogna. He is of Italian and English descent.
As a child, Dominic enjoyed soccer and basketball and wanted to become a small athlete. He had some roles as a child actor, including F/X2 and the popular series Are You Afraid of the Dark?, in which he played Rush in "The Tale of Cutter's Treasure Part 1 and Part 2" and Jed in "The Tale of the Full Moon".
He attended the University of Toronto briefly, but left, later noting "I was no good at school work."
