The Hollywood Salon with Actor Zahn McClarnon

ZAHN TOKIYA-KU MCCLARNON is a celebrated Lakota-Irish actor whose powerful presence has made him one of the most compelling talents working onscreen today. Known for standout roles in FARGO, WESTWORLD, RESERVATION DOGS, and AMC’S DARK WINDS—where he also serves as executive producer—Zahn brings depth & genuine representation to every performance.

Raised in the Great Plains, he graduated from Omaha Central and is deeply connected to his Hunkpapa Lakota roots. Zahn has spent over three decades challenging stereotypes and bringing Indigenous stories to the forefront. His performances are marked by a rare stillness and strength, whether portraying complex antiheroes or powerful spiritual leaders.

Beyond the screen, Zahn is a survivor and a storyteller—open about his journey through adversity and resilience. His personal and artistic path has inspired countless others, and his voice continues to be a force for representation, truth, and healing in Hollywood.

We are honored to welcome Zahn McClarnon as our special guest speaker at The Hollywood Salon on Indigenous People’s Day, Monday, October 13th at 8PM. Join us for an unforgettable evening of stories, insight, and celebration of Native voices in the industry.
