Professor Noel Zachary
Professor Noel Zachary, also known as
Z, is a
fictional character played by
Jeffrey Douglas in the
Canadian science fiction television series
Strange Days at Blake Holsey High.
Dubbed "Z", by the science club students, he is the kind of teacher that any student would want. He believes that his students will learn better by teaching them in different ways rather than through harsh discipline, and for this Principal Durst doesn't exactly like him much.
He was given the chance to teach at Blake Holsey High by a scholarship given to him through Pearidyne Industries. He came to BHH after the previous teacher, Professor Middleton mysteriously disappeared. Like his students, he is curious to find out what is causing the strange events that always seem to be surrounding the school.
Although many of the events that take place in Blake Holsey High are usually too weird to understand fully, Professor Zachary never forgets to think like a true scientist.
It is revealed during a Semi-Annual Teacher Review, Professor Zachary attended the
University of Pennsylvania, graduated
magna cum laude, and is proud of his
alma mater--to the point of shouting "Go Quakers!" during the review. It is also revealed that his doctoral
dissertation is about the modeling of ion implantation induced transient deactivation disjunction activities in
Boron.
After a year of Josie missing, Professor Z forbade everyone from going into his office where the powerful wormhole was in.
