Zhan's Name Is As Famous As Him

The long-haired actor was born as Zahn Tokiya-ku McClarnon on 24 October 1965 in Denver, Colorado.

When you think he is famous just for his onscreen influence, then you have been mistaken as his name is also pretty famous and holds a special meaning behind it. His first name gives an ode to his maternal great-great-uncle, Frank "Frances" B. Zahn, who was an artist. Similarly, the middle name holds the meaning of the first one to come.

He completed his education at Omaha Central High School in 1986. He has an older twin brother in his family.

His father is Irish, who used to work at Glacier National Park for the National Park Service and his Hunkpapa Lakota mother used to teach therapy in a rehabilitation clinic in Rosebud.

Zahn regards his mother as a source of inspiration, strength, proudness and demonstrates his love through Instagram. On the occasion of mother's day in 2017, he uploaded a vintage picture of his mother and wished her on a special day.
