Taylor Zakhar Perez: Movies and TV Roles

Why You Might Recognise The Kissing Booth 2's New Heartthrob Taylor Zakhar Perez

It wouldn't be a rom-com sequel without the introduction of a new love interest, and for The Kissing Booth 2, Taylor Zakhar Perez plays the role of Marco so charmingly that we were almost rooting for Elle to end up with him after all! The actor got his start as a model and in the theatre world before shifting his focus to Hollywood. And although The Kissing Booth 2 is definitely his most high-profile project so far, you may recognise him from some of his smaller projects and guest roles over the past several years. We've rounded up a few of the most recognisable shows he's been in — see if you remember spotting him on any of these!

Way back in 2012, Zakhar Perez appeared in an episode of iCarly as a one-off character named Keith. Catch him at about the 0:15 mark in this episode trailer!

Zakhar Perez played Benji, the charming and handsome brother of Gabi's BFF Sofia, in a 2015 episode of the Freeform sitcom.

For the most part, he's had guest starring roles, but he did have a regular role in the digital series Embeds. He played Noah Torres, a confident trust-fund kid turned political reporter in this show about a group of young reporters embedded with a political campaign.

Noah who? Zakhar Perez's Marco is the scene-stealer of this Netflix rom-com sequel. Even though he gets stuck on the "wrong" side of a love triangle, we're all pretty much head over heels for his refreshingly chill character.
