Zach Woods
Known for
Born in Trenton, New Jersey in 1984, Zach Woods came up through the Upright Citizens Brigade before finding a national audience as the buttoned-up, faintly menacing Gabe Lewis in NBC's The Office (2010). He then delivered a career-defining turn as the anxious, incorrigibly loyal Jared Dunn in HBO's Silicon Valley (2014), one of the most beloved comic characters of the decade. On film he appeared in Armando Iannucci's In the Loop (2009) and voiced roles in animated features. He returned to prestige comedy in Avenue 5 (2020) with Hugh Laurie. Few American comic actors mix polite anxiety and quiet menace so precisely.
