More than just a pretty that fat is an insult and skinny is a compliment, which is just ridiculous. They are both just adjectives. If I were alive in the Middle Ages, I’d be ruling a village somewhere,” he laughs. “But somehow we have become so much about image. It’s always looks first, and any casting director will tell you that.” It is a topic about which Miko is rather passionate. “It’s almost always like a panicked conversation,” he says. “So I’ve been pushing myself as much as I can, because I know this success could just be a flash in the pan. So I really want to keep this conversation going as long as possible.” While it looks like his modeling career may potentially open doorways to other opportunities, Miko isn’t planning on gathering his eggs into one basket. He is currently working on a comedy pilot starring himself and friend Karen Bray as The face Dreamstalks—a jaded duo of children’s musicians who sing witty, yet brutal lyrics about the cold hard truths of life and lost opportunities. The series is being produced by Bruth Media, an Astoria-based artist collective that also functions as a high quality media lab—for which Miko also serves as the associate sound producer. Whether in an ad campaign, shining on the small screen, or collaborating with fellow writers, I have a feeling we have only begun to meet the gigantic talent that is known as Zach Miko.
