Early life

Zegers was born in Woodstock, Ontario, the son of Mary Ellen, a school teacher, and James Zegers, a quarry worker. He grew up in Woodstock, graduating from St. Mary's High School in 2002. He has two sisters, Krista and Katie. Zegers began acting at the age of 6. He has appeared in over 30 commercials, and also did some modeling in London. Aside from his acting career, Zegers works off-and-on as a model.

Acting career

Zegers began his performing career at the age of 6, appearing in commercials. His first film appearance was at the age of 7, in a small role in Michael J. Fox comedy Life With Mikey (1993). Subsequently, he appeared in many supporting roles, including a guest appearance on the television series The X-Files, playing a stigmatic child. He had the starring role in Air Bud (1997), a film about a basketball-playing dog. In the years following, Zegers appeared in three sequels, as well as a similar genre film, MVP: Most Valuable Primate, which featured a hockey-playing chimp.

Between 1997 and 2004, Zegers had starring or co-starring roles in many low-budget Canadian and horror films, including Nico the Unicorn (1998), Komodo (1999), and Wrong Turn (2003). He also appeared in the short-lived American television series Titans (co-starring Yasmine Bleeth) in 2000, for which he was personally chosen by producer Aaron Spelling. Zegers had previously worked with Bleeth in the 1999 film It Came From the Sky.

After appearing in the remake of Dawn of the Dead, he had a major role in the Academy Award-nominated independent film Transamerica (2005), co-starring Felicity Huffman. Zegers' performance as the street hustling son of a male-to-female transsexual was praised by several critics, and he won the 2006 Cannes Film Festival Chopard Award, which is given to promising young actors.

Zegers starred alongside Samaire Armstrong in the 2006 romantic comedy It's a Boy/Girl Thing.
