Zach Cregger

Zach Cregger, a dude with a knack for both making people laugh and totally freaking them out, came into the world on March 1, 1981, in Arlington, Virginia. Most folks probably first spotted him being ridiculous with The Whitest Kids U’Know, that wild sketch comedy show that kicked off in 2007. Honestly, if you missed that, what were you even watching in the late 2000s? Zach’s got this sharp, offbeat humor—like, the guy can turn the weirdest situations into straight-up comedy gold. But don’t box him in as just the funny guy. Fast forward to 2022, and suddenly Zach’s behind the camera, unleashing Barbarian—a movie that had horror fans buzzing and everyone double-checking their basements. The dude can do creepy, too. Barbarian isn’t just your average jump-scare fest; it’s got this gnarly tension, some wild twists, and a vibe that just sticks with you. You can tell Zach’s not afraid to get weird, to push things a bit, and honestly, that’s what makes his stuff pop. He’s also been in Wrecked (2016), which leaned more into comedy, showing his range isn’t just talk. Offscreen, Zach’s settled down with Sara Paxton, tying the knot back in October 2019. So yeah, he’s juggling the whole husband thing with directing, acting, writing—basically, staying busy and keeping things interesting. Whether he’s making you laugh or squirm, Zach Cregger’s one of those names you remember, because he always brings something a little unexpected to the table.
