Zoé Marchal

Zoé Marchal, born smack in the heart of Paris on June 1, 1998, basically had acting in her blood. Her parents? Oh, just Olivier and Catherine Marchal, both pretty big names in the French acting scene. She didn’t exactly have a quiet childhood either—imagine growing up with three siblings, Léa, Ninon, and Basile, each spaced out just enough to keep the house permanently noisy. She kicked off her career early, jumping into the world of film and TV in her teens. Her first real break came in 2014, when she scored the role of Mila in “Meurtres à Étretat.” Not bad for a teenager, right? Then there was Chris Morel in “Disparue” in 2015, which really put her on the map. The same year, she also popped up in the quirky comedy “Lolo,” showing she could handle laughs just as well as drama. Zoé clearly wasn’t messing around—she kept stacking up the credits. 2016 brought “Section Zéro,” a gritty series that let her flex some serious acting muscles. But honestly, people really started to take notice in 2018, when she landed the part of Ingrid Spielmann in “Skam France.” That show? Massive. It’s basically a cultural phenomenon for French teens, and her character just clicked with viewers. Zoé’s career has been this steady climb ever since, with each role showing off a new side to her. She’s definitely not just riding her parents’ coattails—she’s carving out her own place, one role at a time.
