Zoe Marlett
Zoe Marlett, yeah, she’s not just a name you’d scroll past on IMDb. She’s got that kind of on-screen energy that makes you stop and actually pay attention, you know? Most people first spotted her in “Black Summer” back in 2019. That show? Wild. It’s not your average zombie apocalypse deal—way more raw, with tension so thick you could cut it with a butter knife. Zoe plays Rose’s daughter, Anna, and honestly, she doesn’t just fade into the background. You find yourself rooting for her, yelling at the TV, hoping she makes it out alive. Not a lot of actors can pull off that kind of genuine, gritty vibe at her age.
Then there’s “Lumi and Marlene” from 2022. Totally different mood, but Zoe slips right into it. She’s got this knack for making her characters feel real—like, yeah, you could actually bump into them somewhere in the real world. She brings this awkward honesty and vulnerability that a lot of young actors try to fake, but with her, it just works. It’s like she’s not even acting, just existing in the moment.
Honestly, it’s kind of wild seeing someone so young with such a range. She doesn’t just show up, say her lines, and call it a day. You can tell she actually cares about what she’s doing. If you haven’t seen her stuff yet, you’re missing out. There’s something about her performances that stick with you, long after the credits roll.
