Steve Zahn
An American actor from Minnesota, a gifted character player prized for his live-wire comic energy and surprising dramatic depth. He voiced the orangutan Bad Ape in 'War for the Planet of the Apes' (2017), and delivered sharp supporting turns in 'Dallas Buyers Club' (2013) and 'Captain Fantastic' (2016), as well as voicing a role in Pixar's 'The Good Dinosaur' (2015). Long a scene-stealer in comedies before deepening his range, he is a versatile American performer whose motormouth charm masks a genuinely affecting actor.
