Career

Movies and television

Pais made his acting debut in the 2007 Noah Baumbach film Margot at the Wedding,[3] playing the son of Nicole Kidman, the titular Margot.[4] He is in the lead cast of the upcoming adaptation of Lisa Taddeo’s bestseller Three Women,[5] which was acquired in February 2023 by the network Starz.[6]

Pais starred in a second-season episode of the Amazon Prime series Modern Love,[7] and is a star of the forthcoming film This Closeness.[8]

Theatre

Reviewing the biographical drama Letters From Max in The New York Times, critic Laura Collins-Hughes singled Pais out for his performance as the poet Max Ritvo: "Zane Pais's loose-limbed Max is the one who brings the tenderness, which cracks the play open emotionally and also, somehow, poetically. Skinny and floppy-haired, with a restless intensity and a searching intelligence, he is at once irrepressible and unavoidably vulnerable."[9] Reviewing his co-starring performance in Richard Greenberg’s 2020 comedy The Perplexed, The Wrap called Pais’ work “utterly adorable”.[10]
