View on GrokipediaEarly life
Family and childhood
Milo Manheim was born on March 6, 2001, in Venice, Los Angeles, California.[6][9][10] He is the only child of actress Camryn Manheim, an Emmy Award winner best known for her role in the television series The Practice, and Jeffrey Brezovar, a former model.[6][10][11] Manheim has Ashkenazi Jewish heritage through his mother and was raised in a Jewish household.[9][10] He spent his formative years in Venice, Los Angeles, where he was exposed to the entertainment industry from a young age, often visiting the sets of his mother's television shows.[10][12] At age 13, Manheim celebrated his bar mitzvah through a non-traditional ceremony with the Sholem Community, a secular Jewish organization in Los Angeles.[13][14] The event, held on May 3, 2014, at The Moss Theater in Santa Monica, centered on his project titled "Activism at Any Age," which emphasized social justice and community service.[13][15]Early training and influences
Manheim began his formal introduction to performing arts at the age of seven, enrolling in a local after-school program in Culver City, California, where he first explored acting.[16] This early exposure ignited his passion for the stage, providing a foundational space to experiment with performance away from the professional spotlight.[17] From around 2008, Manheim immersed himself in youth theater, participating in 15 musicals through Liza Monjauze Productions, a prominent local group focused on young performers. These productions allowed him to build versatility across genres, with representative roles in shows such as Rent, Footloose, and Spring Awakening, emphasizing ensemble dynamics and character-driven storytelling.[3] Through this involvement in community and youth theater groups, he systematically developed core skills in singing, dancing, and acting, often juggling multiple disciplines within single shows to foster a well-rounded artistic foundation.[16] A key influence on Manheim's early pursuits stemmed from his upbringing in the entertainment industry, as the only child of actress Camryn Manheim, who raised him on the sets of her television projects like The Practice and Ghost Whisperer.[18] This environment normalized the world of performance and provided constant family encouragement, with his mother actively supporting his theater endeavors and instilling a sense of dedication to the craft.[17] His Jewish cultural background, shaped by his mother's heritage, further enriched this formative period with traditions that emphasized community and expressive storytelling.[10]Career
Early roles and breakthrough
Manheim made his professional acting debut in 2009 at the age of eight, portraying Riley in the episode "Dead Listing" of the CBS supernatural drama Ghost Whisperer, appearing alongside his mother, Camryn Manheim. This brief guest spot, consisting of just a few lines, marked his entry into television acting.[19] Throughout the early 2010s, Manheim honed his craft primarily through theater, performing in over 15 musical productions with Liza Monjauze Productions in Los Angeles, including roles in Rent as Roger, Footloose, Tommy, A Chorus Line, Gypsy, and Spring Awakening.[20] These experiences, building on his initial training in local after-school programs starting at age seven, provided a foundation in musical performance before he pursued more prominent opportunities.[3] A significant pre-breakthrough milestone came in 2017 when Manheim starred in the original musical Generation Me at the New York Musical Theatre Festival, presented at the Hudson Theatre and Playwrights Horizons.[21] In the production, which explored themes of teenage suicide and survivor's guilt, he delivered a standout performance that earned him the New York Musical Festival's Award of Excellence for Outstanding Performance in a Leading Role.[22] Manheim's career breakthrough arrived in 2018 with his casting as Zed Necrodopolis, a zombie football player, in the Disney Channel original movie Zombies, which premiered on February 16, 2018.[23] This role represented his first lead in a major production, showcasing his singing, dancing, and acting abilities in a musical film about integration between zombies and humans at Seabrook High.[1] The film's success propelled him to wider recognition among young audiences. That same year, from September to November, Manheim competed on season 27 of ABC's Dancing with the Stars, partnered with professional dancer Witney Carson; the duo earned high scores throughout the competition and finished as runners-up.[24]Zombies franchise
Milo Manheim rose to prominence with his starring role as Zed Necrodopolis in the Disney Channel Original Movie Zombies, which premiered on February 16, 2018.[23] In the film, Manheim portrays a charismatic zombie from Zombietown who enrolls at Seabrook High School alongside other zombies, navigating integration into a human-dominated society obsessed with conformity and cheerleading traditions.[23] As an ambitious quarterback seeking to join the football team, Zed develops a romance with human cheerleader Addison (played by Meg Donnelly), highlighting themes of acceptance and unity through musical numbers like "My Year." Manheim reprised the role in Zombies 2, released on February 14, 2020, where Zed and Addison's relationship faces new challenges from the arrival of a werewolf pack at Seabrook High, expanding the world with fresh songs such as "Flesh & Bone."[25] The sequel, directed by Paul Hoen, premiered on Disney Channel and further explored coexistence among monsters and humans.[26] In Zombies 3, which debuted exclusively on Disney+ on July 15, 2022, the story introduces extraterrestrial aliens to Seabrook as Zed pursues an athletic scholarship and Addison competes in national cheerleading, emphasizing broader themes of unity amid interstellar intrigue.[27] The franchise culminated in Zombies 4: Dawn of the Vampires on July 10, 2025, also on Disney+, where post-high school sweethearts Zed and Addison embark on a road trip that detours to the vampire-ruled town of Darkmoor, blending adventure with new supernatural elements.[28] The Zombies series has cultivated a devoted fanbase among tweens and families, spawning extensive merchandise lines including apparel, toys, and soundtracks that celebrate its musical and inclusive themes.[29] This popularity extends to live events, such as the 2025 Descendants/Zombies: Worlds Collide Tour, an interactive concert series across North American arenas featuring cast performances of franchise songs.[30] In a July 2025 Variety interview, Manheim expressed enthusiasm for continued involvement, stating, "I absolutely will be involved with ‘Zombies’ for as long as it exists, absolutely behind the camera… If it needs more Zed and Addison, I’m sure we’ll be back."[2]Other television and film projects
Following his Zombies breakthrough, Manheim appeared in four episodes of ABC's American Housewife (2018–2019) as Pierce, Taylor Otto's boyfriend and a fellow theater enthusiast involved in school productions.[31] In 2022, he recurred as Nico Alexander, a street-smart teen patient with a complex medical history and budding romance with nurse Lahela "Doogie" Kameāloha, in the second season of the Disney+ series Doogie Kameāloha, M.D.[32] Manheim took on his first major leading role outside the Disney Channel ecosystem as Walter "Wally" Clark in the Paramount+ supernatural drama series School Spirits, which premiered on August 10, 2022.[33] In the series, created by Megan Trinrud and April Bordeau, Manheim portrays a charismatic ghost from the 1980s who was a star high school football player before his untimely death, helping the protagonist navigate the afterlife while unraveling mysteries of the living world.[33] The show, which blends teen drama with supernatural elements, was renewed for a second season in May 2023 and a third in March 2025, with Manheim continuing as a series regular through at least 2025.[34][35] Expanding into feature films, Manheim appeared in the Disney+ romantic comedy Prom Pact in 2023, playing Ben Plunkett, the awkward best friend and potential love interest to the lead character Mandy in a story centered on high school outsiders challenging prom traditions.[36] Directed by Anya Adams and released on March 31, 2023, the film drew inspiration from 1980s teen movies, allowing Manheim to showcase comedic timing in a more grounded, relatable role.[36] That same year, Manheim starred as Joseph in the Amazon Prime Video Christmas musical Journey to Bethlehem, a reimagining of the nativity story with original songs by Adam Anders and Nikki Anders.[37] In his feature film debut, Manheim's portrayal emphasized Joseph's humanity and devotion, performing alongside Fiona Palomo as Mary and Antonio Banderas as Herod, with the film released on November 10, 2023. The project highlighted Manheim's vocal and dance abilities honed from prior musical experiences. Manheim further diversified his film work with a supporting role as Ryan Baker, the boyfriend of lead character Gabby, in Eli Roth's horror slasher Thanksgiving, released on November 17, 2023, by Sony Pictures.[38] Set in a Massachusetts town terrorized by a Thanksgiving-masked killer, the film marked Manheim's entry into genre horror, contrasting his earlier teen-oriented roles with a more suspenseful, ensemble-driven narrative.[38] These projects from 2022 onward reflect Manheim's transition toward varied genres, including supernatural mysteries, romantic comedies, biblical musicals, and horror, building on his established musical theater foundation to portray characters with emotional depth and maturity beyond Disney teen archetypes.[39] As of 2025, Manheim has no additional confirmed non-theatrical television or film roles announced beyond his ongoing commitment to School Spirits.[2]Theater work
Manheim began his theater career at the age of six, participating in a local after-school program in Culver City, California. From 2008 to 2017, he performed in approximately 20 youth musical productions with Liza Monjauze Productions, including roles in Rent, Footloose, Tommy, A Chorus Line, Gypsy, and Spring Awakening, which helped develop his stage presence and vocal skills.[40][5][41] In 2017, Manheim made his professional stage debut as Milo Reynolds in the original musical Generation Me at the New York Musical Theatre Festival, portraying a troubled teenager grappling with social pressures and mental health issues; the production, which explored themes of teen suicide, marked a significant early step in his theatrical journey.[21][42][43] Manheim transitioned to professional Off-Broadway work in 2025, starring as the hapless florist Seymour Krelborn in a revival of Little Shop of Horrors at the Westside Theatre, beginning performances on February 25 alongside Elizabeth Gillies as Audrey; the limited engagement, directed by Michael Mayer, was extended through June 1 due to strong audience demand.[8][44][45] Later that year, he appeared as Peter in a concert staging of Jesus Christ Superstar at the Hollywood Bowl from August 1 to 3, joining a cast led by Cynthia Erivo as Jesus and Adam Lambert as Judas, with Phillipa Soo as Mary Magdalene, under the direction of Timothy Sheader; the production featured orchestral accompaniment by the Los Angeles Philharmonic.[46][47][48] Manheim has expressed a deep passion for theater, stating in a July 2025 interview that Broadway "is calling my name" as he aims to pursue more stage roles following his recent productions.[2][49]Personal life
Musical pursuits
Manheim has demonstrated proficiency in multiple musical instruments, including guitar, drums, piano, ukulele, and saxophone, along with other wind instruments such as horns. He grew up practicing piano from a young age, which fostered his early interest in music, while he later developed skills on the guitar—learning his first song, Green Day's "Good Riddance (Time of Your Life)," and appreciating its portability for ongoing practice.[50] His approach to guitar playing is largely self-taught, supplemented by a high school teacher's recommendation of 20 minutes of nightly practice, a habit he maintains to refine his abilities.[51] Much of Manheim's musical engagement stems from self-taught exploration, particularly on drums and ukulele, which he uses for personal expression rather than formal performance. He has described music as a tool for relaxation and creativity, often turning to it to unwind after demanding acting schedules or to process emotions through impromptu songwriting.[51] For instance, upon moving to New York City in early 2025, one of his first actions was purchasing a guitar to "solve everything," highlighting its role in maintaining emotional balance amid professional transitions.[51] This self-directed practice extends to wind instruments like horns.[50] Manheim occasionally shares glimpses of his musical talents through interviews and select public moments, such as performing ukulele covers or guitar snippets that reveal his lighthearted, unpolished style. These instances, like a casual ukulele rendition during a 2025 magazine feature, underscore his enjoyment of music as a hobby rather than a spotlight pursuit.[52] While he admits to composing "shitty songs" that he rarely shares, these private creations serve as a creative outlet, distinct from his professional endeavors.[51] Music intersects with Manheim's acting career by enhancing his preparation for musical theater roles, where rhythmic and melodic understanding aids character embodiment, yet it remains a deeply personal passion as of 2025. He values this separation, using music to recharge privately after stage performances, ensuring it stays a source of individual fulfillment rather than public extension.[51]Activism and philanthropy
Manheim's engagement with activism began during his bar mitzvah in 2014, conducted through the Sholem Community, a secular Jewish organization in Los Angeles that emphasizes social justice and nontheist education.[53] His project, titled "Activism at Any Age," focused on encouraging youth participation in social causes, reflecting an early commitment to promoting involvement among young people in addressing societal issues.[54] Influenced by his family's progressive values, this experience laid the foundation for his ongoing interest in philanthropy.[55] In adulthood, Manheim has continued to support Jewish causes, notably participating in the 2023 television series Generations: Jewish Life Television's Jewish-Themed Genealogy Series, where he explored his family's Ashkenazi roots alongside his mother, Camryn Manheim, to connect with and highlight Jewish heritage.[56] This involvement underscores his dedication to cultural preservation within the Jewish community. Additionally, through roles in projects like the Disney Zombies franchise, he has endorsed messages of acceptance and anti-bullying, aligning with Hollywood initiatives to combat intolerance and promote inclusivity for diverse groups. Manheim has been actively involved in environmental activism, supporting the Waterkeeper Alliance—an organization founded by Robert F. Kennedy Jr. dedicated to protecting clean water worldwide—for over six years.[5] He contributed by interviewing Kennedy for a television segment on environmental issues, highlighting global efforts to safeguard waterways from pollution.[40] His philanthropic efforts extend to health and community support, including volunteering at the Venice Family Clinic to provide healthcare services to low-income families in Los Angeles.[54] Following his lead role in the 2017 musical Generation Me, which addressed teen suicide, Manheim became an advocate for suicide prevention among youth, partnering with organizations to raise awareness and support mental health initiatives.[5] He has also contributed to various charities, such as Pediatric AIDS, the Venice Family Clinic, and Foster Cares, donating time and resources to aid vulnerable populations.[40] As of 2025, Manheim maintains these commitments, occasionally sharing updates on his social media about ongoing advocacy for environmental and social justice causes.[57]Works
