Biography

Zain Iqbal (born 28 May 1998) is a British actor. He is known for his role as Ravi Singh in the BBC Three teen crime drama A Good Girl's Guide to Murder (2024), based on the novel of the same name. Iqbal grew up in Cheadle, Greater Manchester. He studied economics at university and trained in acting with the Royal Exchange Theatre's Youth Company. His younger brother is a model.

Iqbal's father is a film buff and introduced him to Western films growing up. He cites Marlon Brando and Clint Eastwood as his biggest acting inspirations, and admired their performances from a young age in films like The Godfather and The Good, the Bad and the Ugly. He particularly looked up to Dev Patel and Riz Ahmed to see how actors who look like him navigate and succeed in the film industry. He has also cited Jack O'Connell, Ben Mendelsohn, Barry Keoghan, Kristen Stewart, and Robert Pattinson as acting influences due to their "very unique, almost odd, approaches to the craft."
