Jane Levy leads Zoey's Extraordinary Playlist as the title character, a young woman trying to work her way up the corporate ladder as an extremely talented programmer. In addition to vying for a big promotion at the office, she’s also trying to manage the crush she’s got on one of her colleagues, Simon (John Clarence Stewart), while trying to process that her long time friend Max (Skylar Astin) has feelings for her. While these threads and then some play very well over the course of Season 1, the core of the show is undoubtedly Zoey’s relationship with her father Mitch (Peter Gallagher) who’s been diagnosed with progressive supranuclear palsy and is slowly dying throughout the season.
On this episode of Collider Connected, Levy details the challenges of making one of the most unforgettable episodes of the show, “Zoey's Extraordinary Glitch,” and also discusses her very internal journey to show business, what it was like stepping on to the set of Shameless so early in her career, the Zoey cast member she wishes was getting some more Emmy love, and so much more!
