**UPDATE** As of July 22, 2022, I will be on a year-long sabbatical from coaching due to film work. See you in late 2023! ****** My work as an acting coach speaks for itself. Just in the past several months alone, actors I work with have booked their first jobs as a recurring guest star in a primetime television series, a lead in a Lifetime movie, roles on two Netflix drama series, and a major guest star on an Amazon original drama series. This is in addition to working actors I already coach on various projects they're auditioning for and filming. In my own career, I'm a Los Angeles-based actor-turned-filmmaker. I've played theaters in New York City and all over the world (including touring in "Les Misérables" and being an original cast member of "Heathers: The Musical"), and I've acted in television shows like "Switched at Birth" (ABC Family), "The Good Wife," and "How I Met Your Mother" (CBS). As a director, my short films have played festivals and won awards across the globe, including the CINE Golden Eagle Award for Narrative Short Film — an award recognizing rising filmmakers which has honored the early careers of Steven Spielberg, Robert Zemeckis, Mel Brooks, Jim Henson, Taylor Hackford, and many others since 1957. I look forward to sharing my all-encompassing perspective on acting with you and setting your talent loose on the world!

Zach is the best first acting teacher I could have ever asked for, I got so lucky to find him! His personal experience and insight on not only the acting front but what a director could be looking for is so useful. I have learned so much from him on how to audition and what a set is going to be like, even the business part of it and how to really get started. I had no experience when I first started my lessons and now I’ve never felt more prepared. He’s amazing!!
Zach is one of those people that is sincere and speaks from his heart. My last lesson was incredible. He's a true artist and when he talks, it's as if he is talking directly to my soul. I've never experienced this, and truly will never forget it. His method of conducting lessons is efficient and effective. He is nothing short of brilliant.
Zach is a great coach who knows so much about film and acting. Highly recommend and look forward to working together in the future.
