Following the Romanian Revolution, Stan who was eight years old at the time, together with his mom, moved to Vienna, where Georgeta was employed as a pianist. Four years later the family moved to the United States.

Children usually have a very hard time adapting to new surroundings, imagine how young Sebastian must have felt having to change three countries and three linguistic environments!
I came here from Romania when I was 12 years old. I had an accent. High school was tough a little bit for a few years. I wanted to fit in. I wanted to be liked. I wanted to be good-looking. I wanted to be popular. I spent a lot of time thinking, What are these people going to think of me?
Georgeta married the headmaster of private college-preparatory school in New York, where Sebastian was educated. Luckily, the boy had a very close relationship with his step-dad and up to this day the actor considers him to be his real dad.
