Trivia

Zachary Levi

Edit
  • Launched a website called "The Nerd Machine" and every year since 2010 hosts an event called Nerd HQ which coincides with Comic Con San Diego and raises money for the charity Operation Smile.
  • Had to get 14 stitches on his hand after putting it through a light fixture in his living room during a game of tennis on his Nintendo Wii.
  • Performed as a singer with Katharine McPhee in her recording of "Terrified", and can be seen in her music video.
  • One of Zac's icons is the late John Ritter.
  • Married Canadian and fellow actor Missy Peregrym in 2014.
  • Aside from an actor, Zac has worked as a busboy, at Blockbuster, and at a car wash.
  • Owns a Nissan GT-R super sports car, one of the first people to get one in the US.
  • Was already offered a role in the theater production of "Young Frankenstein" in New York when Chuck (2007) pushed through with filming and got picked up. Roger Bart took the role in his place, instead.
  • Zac's best friend is Joel David Moore. Moore is also his business partner with the production company Coattails Entertainment.
  • He is of English, Irish, French, German, Welsh, Scottish, Northern Irish, Swiss, and remote Dutch and French Huguenot, ancestry.
  • Was ranked #22 on Entertainment Weekly's '30 Under 30' the actors list. (2008).
  • Owns two motorcycles, a Harley-Davidson FXDX and a Ducati Monster 750CC.
  • In 2007, Daily News named Zachary Levi as one of five actors to watch.
  • Loves filming action scenes.
  • His wife, Missy, filed for divorce after a 4 month separation (April, 2015).
  • Is friends with Reaper (2007) star Bret Harrison. They did a photo shoot together for USA Weekend as "Most Likely to Be Breakout Stars" in 2007.
  • As is well known, Zachary dropped his last name, Pugh, for his stage name, using his middle name instead, as he thought "Pugh" is too unusual-sounding. About a decade after Zachary became a well-known actor, English actress Florence Pugh, who is not related to him, came to fame as well, and retained her birth name. However, Florence's brother, Toby Sebastian, also an actor, also dropped the surname Pugh and, like Zachary, uses his first and middle name as his stage names (though in reverse order).
  • Son of Susan (Hoctor) and Darrell Alton Pugh. His father was born in Minnesota. His mother was raised in California, as was Zachary.
  • Endorsed Donald Trump for president in 2024.
  • According to Michael Rosenbaum he auditioned for the part as Lex Luthor in Smallville.
  • Born on the same date as Chrissy Metz.
