Zachary Knight Galifianakis, better known as Zach, was born in Wilkesboro, North Carolina, on October 1, 1969, to a father of Greek origin and a mother with English and Scottish roots. At a very young age, he moved to New York where he began performing as a stand-up comedian in a fast-food restaurant in Times Square and then traveled around the country and performed in bars and universities (some of his first performances are still visible on youtube). The mess is long but in 1996 Zach begins appearing on TV, in series like I and my brother is Apt. F. At the cinema he made his debut in 2001 with a small role in Heartbreakers – Family vice but many years and a myriad of appearances on the small screen will pass before his physicality and his singular, irrepressible comedy, impose themselves on the public. In 2008 appears in Good night in Las Vegas, almost a premonition in the film that the following year will finally impose him on world attention, the megasuccess Hangover, in which he steals the show with the character of Alan Garner. Later, we find it in a number of booster films such as G-Force is Dinner with an idiot and quality films such as Between the clouds.

In 2014 shows a more serious side in the Oscar-winning film Birdman. In 2016 begins the adventure of Baskets, a wacky tv series written with Louis CK., in which he is a very sad aspiring clown who studied art in Paris and ends up performing in a rodeo, renewed for a second season. In the same year he plays the crime comedy Masterminds – The con genes with Kristen Wiig. His best known and most successful creation is the irreverent and aggressive talk show Between Two Ferns with Zack Galifianakis on the site Funny or Die (21 episodes between 2008 and 2013), in which, sitting between two pots of ferns, he mercilessly massacres with indiscreet questions and direct insults the guest on duty, usually famous colleagues but also top politicians such as Hillary Clinton and the president Barack Obama, reaching 30 million views. He has been married since 2012 with Quinn Lundberg and when he is not working he lives on his farm in North Carolina. After meeting an 80-year-old homeless woman who had lived in a Santa Monica laundromat for 18 years, he bought her an apartment, right across from her old residence.
