Zachary Chicos

Hailing from Minnesota along with artists such as Winona Ryder, Josh Hartnett, Prince and Bob Dylan, Zach Chicos has contributed supporting roles in films like Ford vs. Ferrari with Matt Damon, Call of the Wild starring Harrison Ford, as well as the new Paul Thomas Anderson (There Will be Blood) project, featuring fellow Lee Strasberg alum Bradley Cooper. Other projects for Zach include the acclaimed Netflix feature film Mank, and also popular streaming projects Cypher and the futuristic Sci-Fi thriller Nova Vita. Zach was grateful to work in several high-profile cable projects among them Westworld, Robert Downey, Jr's Perry Mason, Penny Dreadful and McMillions. Other TV projects include Hulu's Into the Dark series, and Inspire TV's Wild West Chronicles. One of Zach's strongest roles to date is his portrayal of the Russian diplomat Turgenev, in Asylum Films hit Asteroid-A-Geddon co-starring Eric Roberts. In AAG Zach effortlessly, yet profoundly delivered all of his lines, in 12 scenes with an authentic Russian accent, even speaking in Russian when needed by director extraordinaire Geoff Meade. In the role of Turgenev, Zach delivered the thought provoking and heart felt struggle Turgenev experiences between loyalty to his motherland and his responsibility to the World at large. Zach delivers a character with great personal angst against his American counterparts, yet understands that only through cooperation will the US and Russia be capable of halting a gigantic meteor poised to strike the Earth and end all that mankind has built. Zach Chicos, as an artist, seeks out and thrives in roles were he must convey high stakes decision making, gut-wrenching awareness of consequence and the personal conflicts that arise when his characters are responsible for delivering on the quixotic demands foisted by society, as well as his characters selflessness in accepting the unwanted, undeserved burden and weight of the communal needs of those he loves, while wrestling with the unforgiving hand of fate. Zach's talent for portraying compelling, realistic characters with genuine vulnerability was instilled and fostered by his instructors at the Lee Strasberg Institute where he is proud to be counted among the alumni of Al Pacino, Robert De Niro, James Dean, Dustin Hoffman and Marilyn Monroe. Through his agent, Michael Gerard of Esprit Talent, an accomplished veteran in his own right and notable for bringing important new talent to the screen, Zach has garnered auditions for high-profile, internationally celebrated hits such as Amazon's Hunters, starring Al Pacino, HBO's Euphoria, starring Zendaya, ABC's Station 19 and The Young and the Restless for the CBS Television Network.
