Biography

Zoë Noëlle Carter was born September 10, 2003 in New Orleans, Louisiana. This English-Spanish-Mandarin Chinese speaking, ethnically ambiguous actress/model began acting at the tender age of 7 months when she was cast as "The Baby" in Maverick Entertainment's direct-to-DVD feature film, "Black Saturday." From there, Zoë went on to win top awards in several beauty and talent pageants around the country. At 11 months old, she won Best Overall in New Star Discovery Talent Pageant and at the age of 3 years old she took home another Best Overall top honor in Page Parkes Model and Talent Pageant, Houston, TX.

Over the next several years, Zoë enjoyed playing extra roles in several films in and around the New Orleans/Hollywood South region. She was cast as an extra in the birthday party scene in the feature film "Sinners and Saints" (2010). The movie also stars veteran actors Tom Berenger ("Inception") and Method Man ("CSI").

Zoë's big breakthrough role came just on the heels of wrapping production on Director Kenny Morrison's "Come to Daddy" Louisiana Tourism commercial (2011) when she was specifically requested to audition for a lead role in Bishop T.D. Jakes' feature film, "Woman Thou Art Loosed: On the Seventh Day." After excelling through three grueling rounds of auditions, Zoë earned the coveted opportunity to star as "Mikayla Ames", daughter of Blair Underwood (David Ames) and Sharon Leal (Kari Ames) in the award-winning kidnapping suspense thriller released in Spring 2012. This rising star actress represented her role and the production excellently as she and her PR team traveled the country giving radio and news interviews and making high profile red carpet appearances in support of the film.

In September 2014, Zoë was given the honor and privilege of presenting the "Best Comedy" award at the 4th Annual NAFTA African Oscars held at the Saban Theatre in Beverly Hills, CA.

Zoë is represented by talent agent Terry McNeal in the New Orleans and Atlanta markets.
