Zhakov graduated from the film division of the Leningrad Performing Arts Technicum in 1929. He began acting in films in 1925.

His portrayals of negative characters were multifaceted—for example, Docent Vorob’ev (The Baltic Deputy, 1937) and Borovskii (The Great Citizen, 1938–39). Zhakov’s best role was Fedor Talanov in The Invasion (1945; State Prize of the USSR, 1946). In 1970 he played Barmin in At the Lake (State Prize of the USSR, 1971). He has received three orders.
