Is Milo Manheim Adopted? Parents and All We Know as Actor Opens Up About His Disney Roots.

Milo Manheim, known for his portrayal of 'Zed' in the Disney Original Movie franchise 'Zombies' and 'Wally' in the drama series 'School Spirits,' sat down for an interview with Teen Vogue recently and unpacked a lot about his life and works.

In the interview, he opened up about growing up with his mother, Camryn Manheim (the Jewish actress who played Lt. Kate Dixon on Law & Order), his love for theatre, his friendship with Sabrina Carpenter, and his Disney roots.

The Milo Manheim Origin Story

The Practice actress Camryn Manheim gave birth to Milo 2 days before her 40th birthday and told the press that she'd be raising the baby alone. Upon being further asked, she revealed that she had a sperm donor, but his identity was never confirmed by her.

Though it is widely speculated that her longtime friend and model Jeffrey Brezovar was the sperm donor, as he was present at the birth and had even given a statement on Manheim's behalf.

"Camryn is the happiest I've ever seen her. and I've her at many happy moments."

But, upon being asked if he had any role to play in the pregnancy, he just said that he has an agreement not to speak about it.

Upon being asked about growing up on sets with his mother, Milo Manheim said:

"Every time I was on set, I would always be so in awe of how everybody has their job, and they do it so well. It's such a well-oiled machine. And when you're watching a show, you never think about all that — and that's what you're going for. You want to be immersed, and you don't want to think about the acting or the lighting."

When asked about being killed in Sabrina Carpenter's controversial music video "Feathers," the actor said,

Sabrina can kill me anytime she wants. I love Sabrina… She texted me a couple days before [like], "Are you around to do this?" I agreed, having no idea what it was that I was going to do. I trusted her, and I knew that her vision was going to be dope.

The Theatre and Milo Manheim

Though he is a Disney kid, the actor delved deep into his passion for the theater, the Deaf West Theater revival of 'American Idiot,' and talked about presently working on "Little Shop of Horrors," by Michael Mayer, with his friend Elizabeth Gillies.

"I think me and Liz [Gillies] have a similar vision for how we want the show to be, and we want it to be grounded and true — although it's a very over-the-top show. But I saw this production five years ago, and it was one of the most magical nights of my life. I'm still figuring it out. I mean, seriously, I've [done] in-person rehearsals once, so I will let you know how it continues to go. But I'm very hopeful, and grateful that I had the American Idiot experience before, because I feel like I have just leveled up enough to be here now.
