Zach McCoy

NYC Based Actor

Zach McCoy is a New York based actor and voice over artist.  He comes from a small town in Indiana and graduated from Butler University in Indianapolis as a Theatre Performance major.  While in Indianapolis, he branched out from the college theatre scene and was cast in several voice-overs and regional commercials before making the big move to New York City in the spring of 2003.  Zach has since worked on many plays in the city, including Richard Sheinmel’s Jitter, a small, independently produced revival of Tea and Sympathy, and several one-acts.  He was most recently seen by audiences in an off-Broadway revival of Brad Frasier's Love and Human Remains at the Peter Jay Sharp Theatre at Playwrights Horizons.  Zach also was featured in the New York premiere of Aaron Kozak’s critically acclaimed war drama The Birthday Boys at the Access Theatre.  In the summer of 2007, he was cast as Stanley in Run for Your Wife at Millbrook Playhouse in Pennsylvania.  He then returned to Millbrook in 2008 as the Reverend David Lee in Larry Shue’s The Foreigner and again in the summer of 2013 as Bernard in Boeing-Boeing.  On film, Zach has been cast in several commercials, internet shorts, and student films.  He is extremely proud of his short City of Sadness (written and directed by Robert Ronny) and his self-produced Kidnapping Carl.  Zach has been affiliated with Abingdon Theatre Company, Manhattan Playwrights, Urban Stages, and The Drama League (as an assistant to the Audience Project and a nominator).  He was a founder and artistic director of ArtEffects Theatre Company, which was dedicated to preserving the art and process of live theatre and film through a passionate and positive community of artists. The last 5 years have been largely devoted to voice over work, and Zach has voiced commercial spots with such clients as Ben and Jerry’s, WebMD, Essilor, and Vanguard investments.
