Biography

Zebadiah Devane is one of the most energetic and unpredictable character actors, a performer of wild spirit, comic force and fearless physical commitment. California born and raised in Alaska, he brings something restless, adventurous and volcanic to the screen: a chaotic intensity that can suggest humor, menace, pathos or grotesque transformation, sometimes all within the same role.

There is something of the Danny DeVito spirit in his work: compact, combustible, darkly funny and unafraid to appear strange, ugly, ridiculous or dangerous in pursuit of a character. Zebadiah is not a performer who stands apart from the dirt, blood, costume and practical effects of horror cinema. He throws himself into them, embracing heavy make-up, creature work, physical discomfort and heightened theatricality with rare enthusiasm.

Across these roles, Zebadiah is often almost unrecognizable, disappearing into costumes, prosthetics, accents, grotesques and extremes of behavior. His work represents the anarchic edge of the studio’s repertory: risk-taking, physically inventive, wickedly comic and willing to transform completely in service of the nightmare.
