Life and career

Zegers was born in Woodstock, Ontario to Jim Zegers, a longtime quarry worker, and Mary Ellen Zegers, a supply teacher. He has two sisters, Krista and Katie. All of his grandparents were born in The Netherlands. Zegers began his performing career at the age of 6, appearing in about 30 TV commercials. His first film appearance was at the age of 7, in a small role in the 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 sports-playing dog. In the years following, Zegers appeared in three sequels, as well as a similar genre film, MVP: Most Valuable Primate (2000), which featured a hockey-playing chimp.

Between 1997 and 2004, Zegers had starring or costarring 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 (2000), for which he was personally chosen by producer Aaron Spelling. Zegers had previously worked with co-star Yasmine 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), costarring Felicity Huffman. Zegers' performance as the street hustling bisexual 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. In 2009, Zegers signed to play the role of Clyde Barrow in the remake of The Story of Bonnie and Clyde, alongside Hilary Duff. The two roles have since been recast due to scheduling conflicts for both actors. He also guest-starred in Gossip Girl from 2009 until 2010, and returning again in late 2010 for multiple episodes throughout season 4. He also appeared alongside Miley Cyrus on Rock Mafia's new video "The Big Bang", and in 2012, played the male protagonist in the television series Titanic: Blood and Steel, alongside Alessandra Mastronardi.
