Zoe Colletti

Zoe Margaret Colletti was born to Christopher and Cheryl Colletti in Burlington, New Jersey. She grew up in a creative family alongside her older brother, Ian Colletti, who also works as an actor.

Colletti was previously in a relationship with Australian actor Ed Oxenbould. She later dated online creator Nicholai Perrett, with the pair announcing their separation in March 2024.

Colletti began her acting career as a child, making her debut in the 2006 television pilot American Men playing Emma Wilson. In 2010, she secured television guest appearances in the series Past Life and joined the conspiracy thriller series Rubicon in the recurring role of Sophie Young.

Her first major feature film came in 2014 when she was cast as the foster orphan Tessie Marcus in the modern adaptation of Annie, starring alongside Quvenzhané Wallis. In addition to acting, Colletti performed on the official soundtrack, contributing vocals to musical numbers including "Maybe" and "It's the Hard-Knock Life". She followed this with supporting appearances in independent dramas, appearing as Ruth-Ann in Paul Dano's directorial debut Wildlife and as Desiree in the 2018 drama Skin.

Colletti earned widespread critical attention in 2019 when she starred as the lead protagonist, Stella Nicholls, in the supernatural horror film Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark, directed by André Øvredal and produced by Guillermo del Toro. She secured the role almost immediately after submitting an audition tape, receiving a callback within an hour of submission. Her performance anchored the film's narrative and drew praise for bringing emotional depth to the genre adaptation.

In late 2019, Colletti joined the sixth season of AMC's post-apocalyptic drama Fear the Walking Dead as series regular Dakota. Having followed The Walking Dead since she was 12 years old, she had initially auditioned for the spin-off series The Walking Dead: World Beyond. While she did not land that specific part, her audition impressed franchise casting directors, who subsequently created the path for her casting in Fear the Walking Dead. Her portrayal of the troubled survivor Dakota culminated in the dramatic sixth-season finale in 2021.

In 2021, Colletti featured in the holiday fantasy film A Boy Called Christmas, portraying the Truth Pixie. The character was developed through a hybrid format, pairing computer-generated body animation with Colletti's live facial expressions. The role earned positive reviews for her on-screen chemistry with co-star Henry Lawfull.

Colletti continued expanding her television portfolio in 2022. She co-starred alongside Lana Condor in the Netflix comedy miniseries Boo, Bitch, playing high school senior Gia. That same year, she joined the second season of Hulu's mystery-comedy Only Murders in the Building in the recurring role of Lucy, the surrogate daughter of Steve Martin's character Charles-Haden Savage. In 2023, she played Nina Morgan in the action-comedy film The Family Plan alongside Mark Wahlberg, later signing on to reprise the role in its sequel.
