Zahf Paroo

Zahf Paroo has been working as professional actor, host, and voice-over and sketch-comedy artist since 1995. His versatility and range have allowed him to play all character types over the span of his film career, from devout religious astronauts to a 4-armed blue-skinned evil witch, from corporate sharks to flamboyant, fresh-off-the-boat hairdressers. Zahf graduated with honors from the Theatre Arts Program at Mount Royal University, and moved to Vancouver, BC where he thrived until his move to Los Angeles. Through his long and diverse career, Zahf has worked with some truly amazing actors while honing his craft. He's had the opportunity to work in sci-fi (Stargate SG-1, Battlestar Gallactica, Fringe, Andromeda, Continuum, Defying Gravity) as well as working in comedy (Scary Movie, The Big Year, Psych, A Guy Thing, Say it Isn't So, Scooby Doo 2, Package Deal). He has also enjoyed a dramatic career (Edgemont -The Next Generation, Firewall, Motive), and most recently he's broken into the fantasy realm in Seventh Son as the beastly, blue-skinned, four-armed "King of Swords" 'Virahadra'. Zahf is also an accomplished theatre performer; for just one example, he spent a year on Broadway in the original cast production of Andrew Lloyd Webber's "Bombay Dreams", portraying an astounding 14 characters in the one production. In his personal life, Zahf is an avid 'foodie' and sneaker collector who has been married since 2012. He loves diversity in music, fashion, and entertainment, and he also enjoys working as a teacher, a playwright, and a director.
