Zak, who is mental health advocate, opened up about processing grief and depression on Oprah Winfrey and Prince Harry's docuseries "The Me You Can't See."
"I found myself extremely emotionally dysregulated and feeling vulnerable and exposed when I wasn't ready to be vulnerable," he said. "And that created a major challenge for me."
"From my end, I didn't get a chance to focus on the private grieving process until about a year and a half after my dad passed away..." he confessed about being in the spotlight.

He previously told the Today show about how he's going to introduce Robin's work to his kids.
"I have slowly started showing photos and pictures to my son, things from movies and in animation that my dad was in," Zak said. "... We have photos and memories around our home and he's drawn to them. And so when he sees the Genie from 'Aladdin' or when he sees a photo of his grandfather, he's drawn to it. And so we talk about it ... It's a nice way to carry on my dad's legacy related to our family history."
