Film critic Nick W. Nicholson reviewing the feature for CNN radio Houston remarks "it is very refreshing to see the newbie in Ziff match the thespian punches of the seasoned veteran in Biehn (Michael) with such gusto and panache.

His thesis research on the lumbar spine, A Novel Approach for Predicting In-Vivo Lumbar Spine Loads and Kinematics Based on Motion Analysis, was presented at the 7th World Biomechanics Congress in Boston in July 2014.

In 2017, Ziff began studying for a MS in Biomedical Engineering at City College of New York under Dr Mitchell Schaffler, which he completed in 2020.
