Epping boy Zane Ciarma stars in new ABC comedy series, Sando

Ten-year-old Zane Ciarma is a celebrity to his friends.

The youngster from Epping is staring in new ABC comedy/drama series Sando, which premiered last Wednesday.

Zane plays Vic jnr, the 10-year-old son of lead character Victoria “Sando” Sandringham.

He stars alongside Sacha Horler (The Dressmaker) and Firass Dirani (House Husbands).

Zane says Vic jnr is an easy character to portray.

“My character is like me – he is a really big talker,” he said. “He is more like me than any of the other characters I have played.

“He is my favourite character out of all my roles.”

Zane has been acting for about six years and has had roles in historical drama

The Legend of Ben Hall and romantic drama Holding the Man.

He said working alongside well-known actors on

Sando had helped him learn more about the industry.

He hopes to make a career out of acting, as long as he can combine it with his other passion – soccer.

“I would like to make a career out of playing soccer in movies – I’d like to be a half soccer player, half actor,” he said.
