Eu Zina, and Zina Anaplioti) was born in 1980 in London, England, U.K. and raised in Thessaloniki, Greece. In Ancient Greek the ‘eu zin’ means the good life, and she’s all about it. At the ripe age of 18, Zina moved to New York City where she studied acting at New York University: Tisch School of the Arts. Upon graduation, and after more acting school, she finally started working as an actress as well as a waitress (but mostly a waitress). Many many moons later, she finally landed a gig that changed her life; she was cast as Helena in the prestigious Showtime series Billions (2016) with Paul Giammati and Damian Lewis. She worked on the show for 5 seasons and loved every minute of it. Since then, this actress and writer has worked on many movies and TV shows. Most recently I worked with Jane Fonda, Rita Moreno and Lilly Tomlin in the Paramount+ film 80 for Brady. Yup, Tom Brady was in it too. Zina has also become known for her feature film work on Sony Picture Classic’s The Climb (2019), and IFC Films’ Chuck (2016), as well as for her television work on ABC’s Madoff (2016) and NBC’s Blacklist (2014). Apart from her love for acting and writing, she also loves to travel. She has been lucky enough to come from a place as beautiful as Greece.
