Hi, I’m Zach.

I’m an actor and musician in Chicago. I’ve played on stage at the Lyric Opera, the Goodman Theatre, Drury Lane Theatre in Oakbrook Terrace, Theatre at the Center in Munster, IN, and the Paramount Theatre in Aurora, as well as various regional theatres (and a couple cruise ships!).

I’m proud to be represented by Gray Talent.

What excites me?

I’m deeply passionate about finding characters and telling stories that make us feel the greatest joys, or ask the biggest questions, or face the most uncomfortable truths.

I often think about the how vast the universe is, and how much power there is in finding meaning in the everyday. I’m pretentious as hell, but I love fairytales and camp. I love being challenged, and working with people who make me see myself differently. I love plays and musicals, cameras and stages, comedies and tragedies, all of the above, always in search of connection.

I’m desperate to collaborate, which must be why I find myself so at home in a theatre, because every element is a collaboration. Directors work with writers who work with actors to find unique characters, who play on sets designed and built by carpenters and painters and electricians, to be heard and seen in a theater with audio engineers and lighting designers by an audience who comes to share in the experience. There’s nothing passive, nothing unintentional.

This place, this work, these people, they are the source of my professional gratification. If any of this means something to you, I already want to work with you.
