The Other Zoey Cast

The plot of The Other Zoey follows Zoey Miller, a supersmart computer major who finds her love life thrown into chaos when a popular soccer player gets amnesia and thinks she is his girlfriend. What ensues is a largely by-the-numbers romantic-comedy film that includes a love triangle, difficult life choices, and plenty of hijinks.

  • Josephine Langford as Zoey Miller

  • Archie Renaux as Miles MacLaren
  • Mallori Johnson as Elle
  • Andie MacDowell as Connie MacLaren

For a while, Heather Graham was one of the biggest stars in Hollywood. Her roles in comedy films Bowfinger as Daisy and Felicity Shagwell in Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me made her a household name. Graham is also known for her supporting roles in The Hangover and Scrubs. While her recent work hasn’t gained the same attention she earned in the late 90s and early 00s, Heather Graham has continued to have a steady career. Chosen Family, which she wrote, directed, and starred in, is due out next year.
