Zachary J. Willis BIO

My name is Zachary J. Willis, and I am an AEA actor, singer, and performer from Fort Worth, TX.

My aspiration is to be the most fearless storyteller that I can be. All my life, I've been so fortunate to have the arts and a family who let me dive right in.

I’ve had the pleasure of working with several theatre companies in north Texas including Casa Mañana, Theatre Three, Uptown Players, Jubilee Theatre, Plaza Theatre Company, The Firehouse Theatre, and Circle Theatre as well as Stages Repertory Theatre, The Alley, and Theatre Under the Stars (TUTS) in Houston, Texas. I am now a member of the Brierley Resident Acting Company at the Tony Award-winning Dallas Theater Center.

When I’m not performing, I enjoy painting, reading a book, or listening to a good podcast. Peanut butter is my weakness and I’m a full fledged member of the Beyhive.

I'm so proud of where this craft has taken me and I look forward to whatever is up next.
