This and the rest of the filmography of Zach Halifianakis will be discussed in the article below.
A bit about the actor
The future actor was born in an intelligent family. His father is an entrepreneur, and Zack's mother owned a small arts center. The boy appeared in the family on October 1, 1969. Zach has an older brother, Greg, and a younger sister, Merritt. And the guys have Greek-Scottish-Irish roots.
It is known that in childhood Zach was a rather reserved and shy child. But he possessed incredible charisma, which later helped him become famous. And he dreamed about acting as much as he remembered. But parents were categorically against such a choice of their son, because Uncle Zack - a famous US politician - Nick Halifianakis. But, to the delight of millions of viewers, the guy did not succeed in becoming a "serious" person.
The beginning of the career and the first television projects
After leaving school, Zach moved to New York, where he survived as best he could, and earned money anywhere. And finally, by the age of 30, he gradually began to participate in various films and television series. And the first film projects where he noted were: “The King and I” - the role of the courier, “Washed away” - the role of the weird guy, “Heartbreakers” - the character of Billy.

By the way, Zack became popular thanks to the production of humorous shows. Namely, in 2001, he started his own show, “Comedy Central,” where he invited not too well-known comedians, in 2006, the show “Dog Bites a Man” was released, where the news industry was parodied, and in 2008, Zach became the host of his own comedy show “Between Two Ferns with Zach Halifianakis,” which parodied various talk shows. And the guests of his studio were very famous personalities such as Ben Stiller, Natalie Portman, Bruce Willis, Sean Penn, Charlize Theron and even Barack Obama.
The film "Visionaries" in 2008, starring Zach Halifianakis in the filmography of the actor, became a turning point and fateful. Incredibly slaughter humor of Zach and a stone face at the same time did not leave indifferent producer Todd Phillips, who invited Halifianakis.
