Zen started his career at the age of 11 when he played Yvan in the movie Aloft starring Jennifer Connelly and Cillian Murphy. Like The Son, his first film Aloft is about a parent struggling to reconnect with her abandoned son. Besides The Son and Aloft, he has appeared in two of his other films, two of his TV series, and various short films. Although he found success in his youth, he cut back on his acting career for several years to focus on school showing interest in science and physics.

Zen McGrath has a better relationship with his brother than ‘The Son’ Nicholas.
Zen is the second child of parents Craig McGrath and Heidi Chapman. Zen is similar to Craig in his film career, as are his brothers Gulliver and Winta. Craig is a film director and it’s clear that his love of movies has influenced his children. Zen is the middle child, Gulliver, who is 24, and Winta, who is 17. While Zen inherited his love of cinema from his father, his passion for science likely came from his neuroscientist and creative mother, Heidi.
His older brother Gulliver McGrath is best known for films such as Hugo, Lincoln and Dark Shadows. He is currently in his third year at the Western Australian Academy of Performing Arts. Zen’s younger sister Winta acted alongside her brother Gulliver in “Aloft” and “Boys in the Tree.” Winta recently played Campion in her 18 episodes of the series Raised by Wolves.

Zen and his family have grown to become successful actors while balancing their creative pursuits and education. Zen’s intense role of Nicholas in The Son was a lot for the young actor to go through. While Gulliver prepared to move to London full-time and Winta graduated from high school, Zen reignited his passion for acting following one of his darker portrayals.
