From sketch comedy prankster to Hollywood's hottest new horror maestro, Zach pulled off one of the sharpest pivots in recent memory. He spent years cracking up late-night audiences with the cult troupe The Whitest Kids U' Know. Then he stepped behind the camera, dropped the spine-chilling thriller Barbarian, and showed everyone he could scare people just as easily as he made them laugh.
Nobody saw that reinvention coming, but Hollywood sure noticed the box office receipts. Now, every major studio is lining up to hand him blank cheques for his twisted ideas. He went from cult comedy favorite to the guy holding all the cards in the horror world, and he's not slowing down.
