Zach Grenier has appeared in over 30 films as well as a hundred or so television episodes. You may recognize him as the Boss in Fight Club; O’Reilly in Tommy Boy; Eddie, who lost his head in Twister; Carl Webb, the fixer, in the first season of 24, or Andy Cramed, the man who brought the plague to town, in Deadwood. You may also have caught him playing leading roles on ABC’s C16:FBI and the USA Network’s Touching Evil, rising from FBI agent in the former to special unit squad captain in the latter. Currently, he can be seen on the critically and popularly acclaimed CBS series, The Good Wife, as the ethically challenged lawyer David Lee.
The stage, however, is his first calling. He has performed on the boards from Maine to Alaska. In August of 2008, he appeared as Beethoven in Moisés Kaufman’s 33 Variations at the La Jolla Playhouse. In 2009, the play made the journey to Broadway with Jane Fonda as star. Zach was honored to be included among the production’s numerous Tony nominations.
Earlier in 2010, he appeared in the well-received, and unexpectedly lively, Lenin’s Embalmers by Vern Thiessen, at the Ensemble Studio Theatre, directed by William Carden, the theatre’s artistic director.
He has just completed a run of the Atlantic Theater Company’s well received production of Moira Buffini’s Gabriel.
