Tanner Zipchen is a Canadian actor and host. From 2015 to 2020 he was the host of the Pre-Show for Cineplex Entertainment.

Career

In 2015, Zipchen applied to an open casting call from Canadian theatre chain Cineplex to host their pre-show; a series of short games and interviews played in front of movies at Cineplex theatres. After a lengthy campaign and cross Canada vote, Tanner was voted into the top 3. After completing additional challenges, he ultimately won the vote and was awarded the role of Cineplex Pre-Show Host.

On January 13, 2020, Zipchen announced he had been let go by Cineplex. It was later revealed, in an article about working for exposure in the industry, that since his initial work as host was considered a “prize” and not a job by Cineplex, he was not paid but instead compensated in Scene points, a reward program used by Cineplex to award free movies to its customers.

Along with actively working as an actor, making appearances in The Boys and Private Eyes, Tanner can also be found in the Dark Pictures Anthology game, Little Hope.
