While doing theater, Newlander began writing and became an award-winning playwright with his 1996 play Remember This at Actors Theatre of Louisville.

Newlander was born on April 2, 1970, in New York City. He is the youngest of a Jewish family with Italian descent, with two older sisters. At the age of two his parents divorced. As a child, he was a somewhat slow reader, which later in life was attributed to mild dyslexia. He wore leg braces from ages seven to nine due to necrosis. With the leg braces, he played baseball, and had a runner who ran for him after he hit the ball. Inspired by the doctors he was surrounded with at a young age, he decided that he wanted to be an orthopedic surgeon. His mother suggested he did commercials to get money for medical school. Ironically, this instead led him to a career in acting.
In 2002, he married fellow actress Hanny Landau. They have two sons, Nathan Dov Newlander (born August 15, 2008) and Azi Sylvester Newlander (born November 12, 2012).
