Zaragoza began his professional career at age 15 with Native Voices at the Autry, the only Equity Native American Theatre Company. He met his mentor Randy Reinholz there, who helped him develop his skills and passion for storytelling. He also starred in Reinholz’s show Off the Rails at the Oregon Shakespeare Festival.
Zaragoza has since appeared in various stage and screen productions, including Spirit Rangers (2021), The Liberator (2020), The Son (2019), and The Night Shift (2017). Zaragoza is also a producer and director who works on projects that reflect his diverse background and interests.
He is a producer on the upcoming short film ‘This Is Their Land’, which depicts the Modoc War of 1872-73 and the sacrifices made by the Modoc leader Captain Jack for his people. He also co-directed a music video for his sister Raye’s song Change Your Name, which was inspired by their mother’s life and the intersectionality of changing names during the immigration process.
