Majors felt Heath Ledger's role as the Joker portrayed the complexity of good and evil, evoking memories of the criminals with moralistic dualities he grew up with. Majors credits Ledger's Joker as the reason he became an actor, and why he seeks to be an inspiration to others.
Majors studied for his bachelor's degree at the University of North Carolina School of the Arts, and later attended the Yale School of Drama; he graduated with a Master of Fine Arts in 2016.
Has one daughter.
On March 25, 2023, Majors placed a 911 emergency call requesting medical assistance to his New York residence after he claimed he had arrived home and found Grace Jabbari, his former spouse, unresponsive. Majors was later arrested on assault, strangulation and harassment charges, stemming from a domestic dispute with Jabbari the prior evening who "sustained minor injuries to her head and neck and was removed to an area hospital in stable condition", according to the NYPD after their preliminary investigation. On December 18, 2023, Majors was found guilty of one count of reckless assault in the 3rd degree and a charge of harassment as a violation. He was acquitted on another charge of assault and one of aggravated harassment. In April 2024, he was sentenced to 52 weeks of a domestic violence intervention program and probation.
