Zhaleh

Zhaleh (pronounced ZSHAH-LAY) is a multiracial American actress, producer, and attorney. In 2025, she will join the Marvel Cinematic Universe in Ironheart. She's recently appeared on multiple acclaimed television series including FX's Mayans M.C., AMC's Better Call Saul, Netflix's Cobra Kai, the CW's The Chosen, NBC's Chicago Med, and HBO's The Rehearsal.

In addition to her work on screen, Zhaleh holds a Juris Doctor degree magna cum laude and has worked alongside leading entertainment attorneys. She is professionally stunt-trained and her experience in dance and mixed martial arts has helped her embody her more physically demanding roles. In 2024, she launched her own production company, Zesty Pictures.

Zhaleh is an advocate for animal rescue, and a fan of fantasy films, fan interactions, and Comic-Con culture; she's appeared on TV panels for The Chosen as a fan-favorite on and off screen. Passionate about filmmaking and storytelling from an early age, she grew up memorizing Tolkien's Elvish languages, studying film classics, and saving up for weekend trips doing Hollywood backlot studio tours - a tradition she still enjoys today.
