Zoë Winters
Zoë Winters is an actor, born 1985.
Kerry Castellabate arrived in Succession as a minor figure and left it as one of the show's most quietly loaded presences. Winters played her as a recurring role across the series, and the part grew, which in that writers' room was not a courtesy. She shared the ensemble prize the cast took at the Screen Actors Guild Awards.
The rest of the work listed here is smaller and mostly comic. She was Nancy in Flatbush Misdemeanors, Christina Martin in the topical comedy Command Z, and Denise in Jules, a science fiction comedy at very small scale. Materialists put her in a romance as Sophie, and The Drama is next.
What she is good at is a particular kind of unglamorous precision: people trying to behave correctly in rooms that have already made up their minds about them. That is a narrower gift than versatility and a more useful one, and it is exactly the register Kerry needed.

Where to start with Zoë Winters
Succession is why anyone is on this page, and the honest advice is to watch the whole thing rather than hunt her episodes. The part is built out of accumulation, small scenes that only pay off because you have spent two seasons half-ignoring her.
After that, Jules is the better second stop than the flashier titles on the list, because the film gives her room and a register that is not office-adjacent. Materialists is the glossier option and the easiest to find. Flatbush Misdemeanors and Command Z show the comic scale she works at when nobody is watching, and The Drama is the one still ahead of her.
