Zaq Latino (they/she) is an actor, musician, and producer based in New York City. Having fallen in love with the musical "Wicked" at eleven years old, Zaq decided to audition for their middle school production of "Sleeping Beauty" and... they weren't cast. But that didn't stop them!

Zaq moved to NYC in 2019 and is super grateful to have been in 17 films to date and a dozen plays off-and off-off-Broadway. Zaq also proudly made their network TV debut on 'Law and Order: SVU.' Featured credits include Keith Miller's "Lucas and Iris Save the World" entering the festival circuit this year, and Zoe Kavanagh's "Demon Hunter: Time 2 Kill."

In addition to acting, Zaq is a committed writer and producer; they are the founder and executive director of validBodies arts project, a 501(c)3 performance production company committed to identity-conscious casting. In 2024, Zaq and their collaborators raised $113,303 for their creative projects.

Zaq's feature film "Welwitschia" is in the process of being independently produced. They are a trans-femme, non-binary person who aims to normalize gender non-conforming representation in professional spaces.
