Born and raised in Glendale, California, Gregory Zarian was working at Nordstrom Department Store as a sales clerk when he was discovered and placed on the soap opera "Days of Our Lives." After success on the soap, he was scouted and sent to model internationally in Paris, Milan and Germany for a few years. Modeling then brought him back to the states where his success continued. He hit the markets of New York, Dallas and San Francisco before settling back in Los Angeles.

He just wrapped a lead role in the SAG independent feature film, "86 Melrose Avenue."  Other SAG features indie include "From Zero to I Love You," "Painter," "Woman on the Edge," Carl Weber’s “The Choir Director,” “Hot Guys With Guns,”  "When Life Keeps Getting in the Way,”  and the multi award-winning ”Reconciliation."
