Zosia Russell Mamet[1] (pronounced Zaw-shuh Mam-it)[1] (born February 2, 1988)[2] is an actress, columnist, model and a voice actress for Regular Show.[2][3]
Early life[]
Zosia Russell Mamet was born on February 2, 1988 in Randolph, Vermont to her parents, David Mamet, a screenwriter, and Lindsay Crouse, an actress.[2] Her parents divorced when she was a young child.[4] She attended an Episcopal school as a child, despite that not being her and her mother's religions.[4] Mamet was not allowed to watch television as a child.[5] She began acting at 14 years old.[4] Her math tutor in high school was Nicole Steinwedell, who would later star in the CBS series The Unit, a series which Zosia's father created.[5] Following high school, Mamet decided to pursue an acting career rather than going to college. She explained her reasoning with: "I was horrifically unhappy. I love learning and I was always a very good student because I hated not doing well. But I had some extreme social anxieties. I never really got along with kids my age. I was a bit of a precocious child. I could go with my dad to a party full of famous Hollywood individuals and be fine. But put me in a room with a bunch of other 17-year-olds and I would stand in the corner, terrified."[2]
