Gullette studied literature at Harvard, graduating Magna Cum Laude in 1991, as well as receiving acting training in New York and London. Pi was Gullette's first feature; he previously appeared in several short subjects, including Aronofsky's thesis film Supermarket Sweep and Nicole Zaray's Joe's Day, in which he played opposite Deborah Harry. Gullette's background in theater includes leading roles in Ibsen's Peer Gynt, Sartre's No Exit, and Sam Shepard's Curse of the Starving Class, the last of which Gullette also directed.

Quotes from Sean Gullette's Characters
| Max Cohen: | When I was a little kid, my mother told me not to stare into the sun. So once when I was six, I did. |
| Max Cohen: | It's fair to say that I'm stepping out on a limb, but I am on the edge and that's where it happens. |
| Max Cohen: | One: Mathematics is the language of nature. Two: Everything around us can be represented and understood through numbers. Three: If you graph the numbers of any system, patterns emerge. Therefore, there are patterns everywhere in nature. |
| Max Cohen: | 9:13. Personal note. When I was a little kid, my mother told me not to stare into the sun. So once, when I was six, I did. The doctors didn't know if my eyes would ever heal.I was terrified, alone in that darkness. Slowly, daylight crept in through the bandages and I could see. But something else had changed inside me. |
