It wouldn't be a rom-com threequel without the return of a former flame, and for The Kissing Booth 3 [1] — which premiered on Aug. 11 — Taylor Zakhar Perez [2] reprises his role as the completely captivating Marco. Prior to the Netflix films, the actor got his start as a model [3] and in the theater world before shifting his focus to Hollywood. Although The Kissing Booth [4] trilogy is definitely his most high-profile project so far, you may recognize him from some of his smaller projects and guest roles over the past several years. We've rounded up a few of the most recognizable shows he's been in — see if you remember spotting him on any of these!
iCarly
Way back in 2012, Zakhar Perez appeared in an episode of iCarly [6] as a one-off character named Keith.
Awkward
On an episode of MTV's Awkward in 2014, Zakhar Perez simply played a "Hot Guy" who caught Jenna's attentions at a party.
Embeds
For the most part, he's had guest starring roles, but he did have a regular role in the 2017 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.
The Kissing Booth 2
Noah who? Zakhar Perez's Marco is the scene-stealer of this 2020 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.
The Kissing Booth 3
Zakhar Perez reprised his role as Marco for 2021's The Kissing Booth [7] 3, which is the final film in The Kissing Booth trilogy. Although he doesn't have much screen time, he still makes us swoon.
