Omar Zaki is an Actor and action performer in Los Angeles known for combining his physical abilities with his versatility on screen to make Hollywood rethink curly hair...
Omar was born in Dubai but grew up in Northern Virginia and has always had a passion for performing. Whether it was racing around the Track as a kid, placing first in public speaking contests, doing live parkour shows, or winning small skit competitions in High School, Omar loved it all. In 2013, he began writing and performing in action short films with his friends and these would become Omar's crash course into on-screen acting. Omar studied classical guitar at George Mason University but after becoming a sponsored parkour athlete as well as several of his videos going viral on YouTube, Omar decided to move to Los Angeles in 2016 to pursue his passion.
After arriving in Los Angeles, Omar almost immediately booked the role of Aramis the Musketeer in a Live Stunt Show, "All For One" and after finishing that, toured the country for 13 months with another Live Stunt Show, Marvel Universe LIVE! Age of Heroes as the Superhero, Iron Fist. Omar officially moved back to Los Angeles in June of 2018 with a commitment to transition completely into on-screen performing and signed up for Acting classes at Berg Studios. Throughout his career, Omar has acted and performed action in numerous short films as well as commercials/promos for brands like LG, X2 games, Survivor, and Million Dollar Mile with his most notable achievement as the Lead in Disturbed's music video, "Are You Ready".
Omar regularly trains in action/stunt skills such as parkour, freerunning, screen-fighting, boxing, and stunt falls with the goal of combining his acting and physical abilities at the highest possible level on-screen.
Omar is represented by Clear Talent Group for commercial and print work.
