Zein Khleif

Zein is an actress and singer based in Los Angeles, CA. Born to Middle Eastern immigrants, Zein is a first generation American and speaks English and Arabic fluently.

Zein has the classic warmth and beauty for characters similar to Rory Gilmore on "Gilmore Girls," but her bubbly personality and quick comedic timing also make her a natural in roles like Midge Maisel from "The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel." Her singing voice and wide soprano range also open her up to live theatre performance, as well as roles like Belle from "Beauty and the BEast" and the go-getter/perfectionist Rachel Berry of "Glee."

On the dramatic side, the brainy brunette becomes the seemingly sweet and innocent teenager who can pivot to an action survivor and protector of those she cares about when threatened. Zein would ace roles like Nancy Wheeler from "Stranger Things," or Buffy from "Buffy the Vampire Slayer."

Zein grew up between Washington D.C. and the Middle East, and was privileged to perform at some of the Capital's most iconic venues including the White House, The Kennedy Center, and The Washington National Cathedral.

Zein is represented by Lindsay Mass at DPN Talent and Sarah Baker Grillo at Cinterra Entertainment.
