Agender & Two-Spirit AFAB member of the Cherokee Nation, pronouns are predominately he or they but they all work just fine for me. I have several invisible disabilities including Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, Autism & ADHD (I like to say I'm a bunch of comorbidities in a trench coat :D). I'm an actor, writer, & director originally from Houston, TX now living in Atlanta, GA. I love being on both sides of the camera. I'm always working on projects of my own making or other's. I'm trained in Meisner, Viewpoints, Improv, & Script Analysis where I've also learned physicality for the self tape, memorizing lines, movement, & accessing your emotions. I am happy to bring in my unique perspective being a queer & disabled creative to help add layers and create nuances to your performance. Or if you prefer, I'll just shut up and read (seriously I have ADHD, I'm won't offended if you tell me to shut up & read lol),
If I'm not online you can email me to book a session at: derekzakari@gmail.com
Derek got his start performing as a Drag King in Houston, Texas in 2018. He began seeking acting roles on the big screen as a way to stay active during the pandemic in December of 2020. A year later he moved to Atlanta to continue perusing his dream of being an actor. He quickly found his footing in comedy, which surprised him because of his autistic background. He continues performing while living out as a proud queer (agender & two-spirit) and disabled (EDS, Autism & ADHD) actor of Native American descent (Cherokee) and speaks out for his queer and disabled brothers and sisters.
