In 2004, he opened the original Broadway production of the musical "Bombay Dreams" (produced by Golden Globe, Tony, Grammy and Academy Award winner Sir Andrew Lloyd Webber and Golden Globe, Grammy and Academy Award winner A.R. Rahman). The performance track included acting, singing, dancing, playing multiple characters, and understudying both male leads in the production. "Bombay Dreams" ran for a year at the Broadway Theatre in New York with a run of 314 performances. The show was nominated for 2 Tony Awards and 4 Drama Desk Awards.Zahf starred in the Canadian reality television show "Sketch Troop" as well as the follow-up documentary "The Road to Funny". The comedic work in these shows led to multiple performances at the prestigious "Just for Laughs" Festival in Montreal, Canada. These paths opened up doors the Fox film "Say it isn't So" where director J.B. Rogers and producers Bobby & Peter Farrely created a role for Zahf. They gave him collaborative freedom to create dialogue and this was a vehicle for his comedic potential to burst through. Zahf then surprised audiences (spoiler alert!) when he was unmasked as one of the two arch-villains along with Alicia Silverstone in Warner Bros. Scooby Doo 2. Since these roles, he has gone on to write and produce much of his own live comedic sketch work, which has recently spun into the creation of viral, online digital comedic shorts.Previous to "Defying Gravity" in the realm of television, audiences may recognize Zahf from playing the role of antagonist Vijay Patek in the ABC television series "3 Moons Over Milford" or as "Tyler" in the Leo and Gemini Award winning Canadian series "Edgemont". ...
