Cory Zacharia's journey began in Lancaster, California, where he spent his formative years amidst the harsh realities of the desert. Growing up, he harbored a deep-seated desire to escape the difficulties of his childhood through acting or modeling. This dream was ignited by his passion for the performing arts, and he would stop at nothing to turn it into a reality.
As fate would have it, Cory was discovered by director Mike Ott in a Home Depot parking lot in Santa Clarita, California. This chance encounter marked the beginning of his foray into the world of film, and he has since appeared in a string of feature films, including Littlerock (2010),Pearblossom Hwy (2012),and California Dreams (2017).
In addition to his acting credits, Cory has also ventured into the realm of filmmaking, penning and directing a number of short films, including The Guy From Neptune (2014) and The Guy in a Wheelchair (2015). His latest project, The Guy in the Cave (2018),is the final installment of his "The Guy" trilogy, although the series has since expanded to include more installments, eventually becoming "The Guy" dectology.
The next installment in this series is the dramatic bio-pic, The Guy Who Went Corporate (2019),which tells the true story of Cory's friend, Mike Gioulakis. As Cory continues to pursue his acting career, he still resides in Lancaster, California, where he is constantly on the lookout for part-time work to supplement his passion for the performing arts.
