HI ZACK, COULD YOU START BY TELLING US A BIT ABOUT YOURSELF?
I was born in Detroit MI, January 27 1990. I have 2 younger siblings a brother and a sister, My father Todd Kurz a mechanic, and mother Sharon Kurz a dental assistant. I began my acting career studying in Michigan and has since then landed in feature films, cable television, web series and Netflix.
I am a huge fitness guy and I’m always keeping up on my body and health, I started out modeling and was introduced to a few photographers that also knew some film directors in the area and asked if id give it a shot, so I did. They gave me some opportunities and I made sure I was dedicated to my part and professional as possible because its what I want to do. They liked where my head was at and asked me to come back a few times and it kept going from there. Auditions, script reads, took some online acting courses, made sure I knew what I was doing if the bug opportunity presented itself.
HOW AND WHEN EXACTLY DID YOU REALIZE YOU HAD THE PASSION FOR MODELLING & ACTING?
I realized I had a passion for acting during my extra’s scene on my 1st feature film, it gives you the opportunity to access your creative side because your always challenged and trying to figure out what will be the best way to present your character and how deep in you can get. The saying “you don’t know someone until you walk a mile in there shoes” is how I go about my career. Every character is a new pair of shoes I get to try on. And the best part about it all to me is making people feel what the character feels, cry, laugh, angry, sad, whatever.
WHAT DO YOU ENJOY MOST ABOUT BEING A MODEL AND ACTING AND WHO ARE SOME OF YOUR BIGGEST INFLUENCES IN THE MODELLING AND ENTERTAINMENT INDUSTRY?
I enjoy the doors and opportunity that it opens, I’m also not one who likes to work a 9-5 job doing hard labor because thats what I’m used to. Its an opportunity to enjoy what I do, travel and enjoy life more. I wanna live and love to work not work to live.
WHY DID YOU BECOME A PERSONAL TRAINER?
I became a fitness trainer mainly due to wanting to become a sponsored athlete. I’m big into the fitness industry and when I was younger was big into sports. Baseball was where I felt I was meant to be but it didn’t happen that way so I made it a goal to never get out of shape, stay ready, and become an athlete somehow someday. I found a company looking for one every year and it motivated me to keep pushing and keep myself in check.
WHAT ARE YOUR PERSONAL FITNESS GOALS?
Personal fitness goals are to stay as fit and healthy as long as possible, maybe evern one day grace the cover of a fitness magazine as well as become a sponsored athlete.
WHAT’S NEXT FOR YOU?
I have 1 film in post production, and 3 upcoming films as well as a big audition so hopefully things go well.
