Zosia Mamet

Early life

Mamet is the daughter of American playwright, essayist, screenwriter, and film director David Mamet and actress Lindsay Crouse. Her father is the grandson of Polish Jews and she says her given name is Polish and Russian. Her maternal grandfather was playwright Russel Crouse and her maternal great-grandfather was educator John Erskine. She has a sister, Willa, who is a singer, and two half-siblings: Clara, also an actress and director; and Noah. She lived in New England until age five when her mother moved to Pacific Palisades, California, with Willa and Zosia. After finishing high school, Mamet decided to pursue acting instead of going to college.

Career

In 2012, Mamet was cast by Judd Apatow in the HBO series Girls. She has subsequently appeared as a regular in television series such as The Flight Attendant, The Decameron, and Laid.

Music

In 2012, alongside her half-sister Clara Mamet, launched a folk music duo project called The Cabin Sisters. In April, they played live in The Bowery Electric in New York City.

In 2014, Mamet formed an alternative rock band called Chacha, the band's name originating from a childhood nickname of Mamet's. In December, the band performed their first show in The Manderley Bar at The McKittrick Hotel to promote their new lead single "Too Good", off their upcoming EP, Lucy.

Voice acting

Mamet performed the audiobook The Feral Detective by author Jonathan Lethem. Mamet has also done voice-over work in Regular Show, High School USA!, Star vs. the Forces of Evil, and StuGo.
