Anthony Jared Zerbe (born May 20, 1936) is an American stage, film and television actor. He is perhaps best remembered for his role as the post-apocalyptic cult leader Matthias in The Omega Man, a 1971 film adaptation of Richard Matheson's 1954 novel, I Am Legend.
Zerbe was born in Long Beach, California, the son of Catherine (née Scurlock) and Arthur Lee Van Zerbe.[1] From 1959 to 1961, Zerbe served in the United States Air Force. Zerbe studied at the Stella Adler Theater Studio in New York. He is the former artistic director of Reflections, A New Plays Festival at the Geva Theatre in Rochester, New York, which is currently touring the United States in Behind The Broken Words, a performance of contemporary poetry, comedy and dramatic works with fellow actor Roscoe Lee Browne. Zerbe also continues to perform in a project, Prelude to Lime Creek, with poet and lyricist Joe Henry.
In 1976, Zerbe won an Emmy Award for Outstanding Continuing Performance By a Supporting Actor in a Drama Series for his role as Lieutenant KC Trench in the private detective series Harry O.
He married Arnette Jens on October 7, 1962.
