Midnite: What is it like working with Tim Allen?

Zachery: It's great; he is very funny. He has been a comedian for 15 years. He is very nice to me and a kick to work with.

Drmweavr: Zach, when will "True Heart,” the movie you filmed with Kirsten Dunst in 1996, be released?

Zachery: I don't know what is going on with that project. I've been wondering the same thing as soon as I find out I will let you know.

Emmanuel: Hi Zachary! I'm a huge fan and 8 years old. I watch you every day and love the show. What's the funniest thing that's ever happened on the show?

Zachery: Every day is a funny day. Taran Noah Smith who plays Mark was suppose to be under a trash can, because we were playing a trick on him 30 minutes later he was still in the can.

Wilsonfan: Hi Zachary! How does the cast get along? It seems like you all have fun doing the show?

Zachery: Oh yes we all have a great time and get along well together and enjoy coming to work; the chemistry is fantastic I love it.

Zacharyfan: Do you have much of a problem when you go out? Do girls and fans come up to you and ask for autographs or to have pictures taken with you?

Zachery: It happens a lot but at the same time I truly enjoy it and love what I do I realize I will have less privacy but I expect it.

Enzo: First up Hi! I seen Zachery on the Canadian TV show, "It's Alive!" back in 1995 or 96 I just wanted to know if he had fun with the cast and crew and enjoyed Canada?

Zachery: Wow that was ages ago! Canada is a beautiful place. I was up in Vancouver recently and loved it.

Dudley: You played golf in a celebrity golf tournament. How did you do on it? What was your score?

Zachery: I did all right…lets see…I think I did mid 90's or low 100's somewhere in there.

Emmanuel: Do you like making movies or working on TV more?

Zachery: I like both. They are different because on a movie you are on location with television you are in a studio. Right now I enjoy movies because it is new to me.
