The immensely talented Zoe Lister-Jones is an American actor, writer, producer, director, and musician. To date, she is perhaps best known for her roles in sitcoms such as Life in Pieces and Friends wit Better Lives (both CBS), Whitney (NBC) and Delocated (Adult Swim). She made her directorial debut in 2017 with the comedy-drama film Band Aid (which she also wrote, starred in, and helped compose the soundtrack for) and which was made by an all-female crew, premiered to rave reviews at the Sundance International Film Festival, and was quickly picked up by Sony for distribution.
Lister-Jones hails from Brooklyn and studied her art at New York University’s Tisch School of the Arts and The Royal Academy of the Dramatic Arts (RADA) in London. When she was 22, she wrote and performed a one-woman, ten-character show entitled Co-dependence is a Four-Letter Word in New York. During this period, she also appeared in several theatre productions, including the Broadway play, The Little Dog Laughed. She made her film debut in 2004 and her TV debut the following year with one-off roles in various Law & Order spin-off programmes. Her first major starring role came with her screenplay-writing debut, the 2009 romcom Breaking Upwards, about a young couple meticulously planning their own break-up. She also found time to write and perform much of the film’s soundtrack.
In 2019, Lister-Jones announced that she was working on her next feature film, The Craft, a horror film made in collaboration with Blumhouse Productions, who were responsible for the likes of Paranormal Activity.
