“When I was in Tangled for Disney which is such an incredible film, such an incredible experience, but yeah, they thought Flynn Ryder, the role that I ultimately played,” Zach shared. “They wanted him to have an English accent and they wouldn’t even see American actors.”

Zach‘s voiceover agent was able to fight for him and eventually he was able to get an audition, where he spoke with a fake British accent.

“And then then they gave me the job — based on my English accent,” Zach explained. “And then later, they said, ‘You know what? I think we’re going to do it with an American accent. Can you do that?’ I’m not even kidding. And I was like, ‘Yeah, I think I can do that.’”

Make sure you check out the trailer for Zachary‘s new movie, American Underdog, which will be out in theaters on Christmas Day!
