BIOGRAPHY
Zach Gilford grew up in Evanston, Illinois and attended the prestigious Northwestern University where he graduated with a degree in education and performing arts in 2004.

Passionate about sports and particularly basketball, his athletic physique landed him a regular role in the five seasons of the NBC series Friday Night Lights , where he played Matt Saracen, an American football player located in the offensive position who lives alone with his big brother. -mother.

He owes his first steps in the cinema to the American filmmaker Larry Fessenden , who hired him in the horror film The Last Winter (2007), a cinematographic register in which he persevered since we found him the following year at the Poster of Vampiric Rise worn by Lucy Liu .

In parallel with his appearances on the big screen, American screenwriter Shonda Rhimes placed his trust in him and included him in the casting of the sentimental-medical series Grey’s Anatomy and Off The Map: emergency at the end of the world , unfortunately canceled after thirteen episodes.

Regularly required to play supporting roles, from the confidant mistreated by his best friend with whom he is madly in love ( Post Grad ), to the roles of problem high school students ( Dare ), Zach Gilford tries out a completely different register in Life according to Gus Orvinston , where he plays a fisherman in search of solitude. His performance also landed him a role in In Our Nature , the story of two couples in crisis in a setting of lush vegetation.
