Zack is one of the rich and useless, just another train wreck of a partyboy with more money than sense. A few years ago, he was the sole survivor of a boating accident full of Darwin Award members, and while he hasn't handled the trauma of seeing all of his friends drown very well, the burnout has been epic. No weepy celebrity breakdowns for him -- no, he's gone out like a roman candle.

It started with YouTube videos of him cavorting drunkenly on the ledges of skyscrapers and pulling parkour stunts that might better be described as suicide attempts, as well as the occasional tabloid story of his epic breakups with B-list stars. Then, on accident, he ended up on an episode of 'Keeping Up With The Kardashians', and his gleeful, effortless mockery of some of the principle characters went viral. Since then, he's turned up on most of the celebrity reality shows, although never on purpose, and he's become a sort of unlikely hero for those who love to hate celebrity culture, as well as anyone who's wanted to see certain bratty famous kids brought down a peg. The irony is that every time one of these shows can manage to get him on camera, their ratings spike, so whether he likes it or not, Zack's reality show career isn't ending any time soon.
