Ben McKenzie’s Brother, Zack Schenkkan, Is An Attorney

One of Ben McKenzie’s brothers is Zack Schenkkan, who also tried his luck in the film industry for a while in the past. He was popular for his small roles in the movies The O.C. as a kid in 2003 and DayDream as MC Ricky in 2008. But, Zack discontinued acting to pursue his career in the legal field.

Zack Schenkkan completed his Bachelor of Arts in History and English from Pomona College, where he attended from 2002 to 2006. Then, he enrolled at the University of California, Los Angeles, where he earned Juris Doctor (J.D.) in 2014. While in UCLA, Zack was its Law Review’s Editor-in-Chief. Also, he served as a judicial extern for the Hon. Judge George H. Wu at Spring Street Courthouse.

Before joining UCLA, Zack Schenkkan worked as a member of Business Development at APCM, a Los Angeles-based performance-based digital advertising agency. Similarly, after graduating from UCLA, Schenkkan served as a Judicial Clerk for the former Hon. Judge George H. King for a year from 2014 to 2015.

Ever since 2015, Zack is an associate in Quinn Emanuel’s Los Angeles office. He represents clients in several areas of the law. However, his practice aims at intellectual property lawsuits, particularly trademark and copyright. Zack has experience in all stages and aspects of legal works.

In 2017, Zack Schenkkan was the only associate on the trial team who secured an entire victory for Tsuburaya Productions Inc. It was a case concerning the international rights to the iconic superhero ‘Ultraman.’ The Daily Journal named his victory as one of its Top Defense Verdicts in 2017.

So, Zack Schenkkan is currently following in his father, Pieter Meade Schenkkan‘s footsteps as an attorney at Quinn Emanuel.

McKenzie’s Other Brother, Nate Schenkkan, Is A Yale University Graduate

Both of Ben McKenzie’s paternal grandparents were actors during their youthful years.

The youngest of the Schenkkan brothers, Nate is a Yale University graduate with BA in Political Science who worked in avant-garde theater in New York.

Furthermore, Ben Mckenzie’s brother, Nate Schenkkan, also has collaborated on the stage as an actor and dancer several times.

Ben McKenzie and his family share a great bond with both of his brother’s families. They often meet each other and enjoy their free time together, traveling to various destinations.

In 2015, when Ben McKenzie’s wife, Morena Baccarin, was pregnant with their first child, Zack’s wife, Camille, congratulated them via a sweet tweet.
