Josh Zaharia’s got that “watch this space” energy. Born to Peruvian parents, this guy’s been making moves all over Hollywood—blowing up in a bunch of different projects. He’s tackled everything from Disney+’s “The Mysterious Benedict Society” and “Under Wraps” to popping up in “Gabby Duran and The Unsittables.” The guy’s also thrown down in Netflix/WWE’s “The Main Event,” CW’s “Superman and Lois,” and even made Hallmark a bit cooler in “Big Sky River: The Bridal Path.” Not only is he busy in front of the camera, he’s got serious voice chops too, showing off as a regular in both seasons of Netflix’s “Team Zenko Go.” He’s not slowing down, either. Zaharia landed the gig as young Butcher—yeah, Karl Urban’s character—on Amazon’s mega-hit “The Boys.” Not exactly a small deal. Then he’s been mixing it up as a recurring guest star on AppleTV+’s “Ghostwriter,” which brings back the old-school vibe of the original 1992 series, now with stories from heavy-hitters like D.J. MacHale and Kwame Alexander. His latest? Scoring the role of Javi Mendez in the big series finale of ABC’s “A Million Little Things.” And he’s still got more coming: roles lined up on SYFY’s “Resident Alien,” NBC’s “Murder By The Book,” “Bring Back Christmas,” and Netflix’s “Grendel.” He’s already stacked some serious awards—Leo, Joey, UBC Pov, plus singing trophies. Not to mention, he started spinning stories with action figures as a kid. And when he’s not acting? You’ll probably catch him sweating it out at a boxing gym.
His folks? Straight outta Peru. Both of them packed up their lives and came over, chasing that classic immigrant dream. And his dad’s side? That’s where things get even more interesting—full-on Sephardi Jewish roots. Not exactly your everyday family tree, honestly. Growing up with that mix, you can bet family gatherings were a wild mashup of languages, foods, and stories. Imagine the fusion cuisine alone—ceviche next to matzah ball soup? Anyway, that blend of cultures shaped his whole vibe. He gets the spicy, passionate energy from his Peruvian side, while the Sephardi Jewish heritage brings in its own batch of traditions, rituals, and, let’s be real, some pretty epic holiday celebrations. So yeah, his background isn’t just a footnote—it’s a whole storyline in itself, full of flavor, history, and a little bit of chaos (in a good way). That’s the kind of heritage that sticks with you, whether you like it or not.
