Zack Gold was named one of TheDrillMag.com’s Actors To Watch in 2022
“Whether you’ve seen him as Dustin on Santa Clarita Diet, the lead in Psycho Brother In Law, or Aiden in Mommy Would Never Hurt You – Zack’s always a stand-out performer although in this one he might be entirely unrecognizable as one of Tommy Lee’s besties.”
“Working with Sebastian Stan, Seth Rogan and Lily James over the course of a month was like taking a masterclass on character development. It was awe inspiring to witness, live, what they were creating. And as I was, too, physically departed from my “normal self”, clad in fake tattoos, fake piercings and bleached hair, I took a great deal of pride in being on a small part of this crazy journey with them.”
Actor Zack Gold underwent a radical 90’s rockstar transformation for his role in PAM AND TOMMY. As a matter of fact, EVERY actor on this project got a wild 90’s make-over.
“Barry Lee Moe – an incredible (Emmy nominated) Hollywood hair magician called me after I was cast and told me he really wanted my character to resemble Shefty Shellshock who was one of Tommy Lee’s BFs at the time. Asked if I was down to get crazy with bleach, spikes, etc and the rest was history. Costumes and makeup did an amazing job (David Williams is an incredibly talented makeup specialist) . With all those cooks in the kitchen, my job was pretty easy.”
PAM AND TOMMY follows the story of Pamela Anderson and Tommy Lee’s relationship, going back to their whirlwind romance that started with them marrying after only knowing each other for 96 hours in 1995.
What I admire about Zack Gold is his commitment to the work. He is consistent in his care for the craft as well as pushing himself to be authentic.
“Sometimes even the smallest things require so much work and attention. My character plays bass with Tommy Lee in his garage band and in order to get ready for that day of shooting we spent probably 5-6 rehearsal sessions playing together to get the song and look right. On film, it ends up lasting 15 seconds probably (maybe less) but there’s still a reward in the feeling you get having put time and labor into making something the best it can be. Yes, thats really us playing :)”
And, of course, Zack Gold’s favorite episode was no surprise to me:
“Ep2! It’s basically just a huge party where you watch people get f**ked up and fall in love. Awe!”
Zack is represented by manager Justin Deanda of Industry and agent Rachel Tolliver of Firestarter.
