Having been born in a town of not quite 200 people in the middle of nowhere Nebraska, and attended university with a class of only a couple hundred I always knew small town life would never be for me. But when I made a joke to my acting advisor about taking mandarin as an elective 'because I needed something easy' I didn't realize that would be my way 'out.'
Onee B.F.A. in acting, six years, 280 talk shows, 15 sitcoms, three movies, 17 thousand instagram followers, and 140 thousand weibo followers later I can hardly believe the champagne dream I call my daily life.
Mainly based in Beijing China as an actor and talk show host I've also taken on projects in Korea, Egypt, Mongolia, Hong Kong, Macau, Canada, and The United States.
Traveling location to location I'm reminded of something my professor told me, 'your job doesn't have to be your passion, but should allow you to do what you want with your life.' I am one of the lucky few who has a job that is my passion and allows me to do what I what with my life. Which is travel, familiarize myself with new cultures, learn new languages, and above all else act.
I look forward to sharing my gritty, awkward, but always fun journey with you.
从美国内布拉斯加州的农村出生长大。在俺们那疙瘩的人口不到两百个人。所以我从小知道我不能永远住那个村。一直想走南闯北。
在内布拉斯加威斯利安大学学习的演戏职业。上我大学有一个外语的要求。必须学习一个语言为了毕业。那时候老师问我'Zach你想学习什么?' 我开了一个玩笑,'中文吧。听说很简单。' 我觉得这是很明显的开玩笑因为所有人知道超级难。但过了一段时间我发现我老师真报名的中文课。哎呀我的妈呀。
6年之后我已经拍了两百多百电视剧比如;《非正式会谈》《非你莫属》《你看起来很好吃》《北京客》《我在贵州等你》 13多电视剧比如《生死血符》《结婚时差》《客家风云》《如果可以这样爱》等等。现在Instagram有1万7千粉丝。微博有14万左右。
