Judge wanted to be an actor from an early age, and studied drama in high school. "The television set was my babysitter growing up. I can remember wanting to invoke the feelings that I was getting from television—I wanted to be the one who was the catalyst for those feelings in other people. Performing was something I've always known I was going to do." He always knew that sports would be a stepping stone to an acting career.

He led in kickoff return yardage for 1983–84 and interceptions in 1984 and won the Casanova Award in 1982, awarded to the freshman or newcomer of the year.
