Zia Kinzy Hails from Austin, TX and is quite the weird actor; the bulk of her acting experience is from performing Shakespeare with the ImprovEd Shakespeare Co. Now, that’s weird (for a ten-year old)! She has also graced the stage in musicals and with improvisation, but is just beginning to work in film. A girl of many interests, she is an avid derby brat with the TX Junior Rollergirls, knows how to start a campfire, enjoys mimicking accents, trains pigeons and (like all Texans) rides horses (but she doesn’t live on a ranch with longhorns, however, she does feed longhorns on Sundays). Born in NYC, the energy was firmly imprinted on her soul and she plans on living in a big city when she’s old enough.
