Who Is Mike Faist? Get to Know Zendaya's 'Challengers' Costar


Mike Faist will reach a new audience alongside Zendaya and Josh O'Connor in the 2024 movie 'Challengers'

He generated buzz with the Prime Video series Panic, written and created by author Lauren Oliver, but it was his performance in the 2021 movie adaptation of West Side Story that caught Hollywood’s attention. West Side Story earned Faist a BAFTA nod for Best Actor in a Supporting Role, but after the blockbuster hit, he turned his focus back to the theater. Faist joined Lucas Hedges in a 2023 West End production of Brokeback Mountain, playing Jack Twist (portrayed by Jake Gyllenhaal in the 2005 movie).
