Before she was slaying the red carpet, breaking our hearts in Netflix's The Politician and starring alongside stars like Zac Efron, Zoey Deutch was a Disney kid, playing small roles in shows like The Suite Life of Zack and Cody.
But it wasn’t long before she got her big break in film, making her one of the most popular up-and-coming stars. Here, 17 Zoey Deutch movies, from 2011 to today.
Deutch plays the daughter of a hard-working cupcake maker (Lea Thompson) who is inadvertently elected mayor of a small town burdened with debt. Yikes. Oh, and did we mention Thompson is Deutch's real-life mom?
For her first big break in the movie industry, Deutch played Emily Asher in this romantic fantasy film. Based on the original novel of the same name, the film follows Ethan Wate (Alden Ehrenreich) as he meets and falls for Lena Duchannes (Alice Englert) who has supernatural powers that are beyond her control. Oh, and Viola Davis, Emma Thompson, Rachel Brosnahan, Emmy Rossum and Jeremy Irons also star. Pretty impressive.

Deutch plays Shadia, Efron’s potential love interest. And yes, Zac’s abs make an appearance.
During the holidays, loving but overprotective Ned (Bryan Cranston) travels to California to visit his daughter Stephanie (Deutch) at school.

In this Netflix rom-com, two overworked (and underpaid) assistants, Harper (Zoey Deutch) and Charlie (Glen Powell), come up with a plan to get their bosses off their backs by setting them up with each other.
