Get to Know Young Mazino, the Hunky Breakout Star of Netflix's 'Beef'

One of the biggest hits on Netflix the month has been the A24 comedy series "Beef." Starring Steven Yeun and Ali Wong, the show examines the lengths people go to when faced with an intense conflict. Their characters, Danny and Amy, get into a road rage incident and they both handle the fallout in extreme ways.

While Yeun and Wong were the headliners here, supporting actor Young Mazino has become almost as much of a talking point in the weeks since the release of the 10 episodes. Mazino was a relative unknown before playing Danny's brother Paul on "Beef." The character is partially based on Mazino's own personal life and interests, especially his involvement in crypto investing and working out to maintain a chiseled physique, according to according to South China Morning Post. Still, there's much more to find out about Mazino by digging through the exciting young actor's social media like Instagram, Twitter, and TikTok.

When did Young Mazino start acting?

Mazino is somewhat of a late bloomer. Although it takes many actors years to accomplish their goals and dreams, Mazino is an example of never giving up until you catch your big break. Mazino wanted to become an actor throughout his 20s, using corporate finance jobs and cryptocurrency investing to help him stay above ground while training for a career in acting. His interest in crypto is used with his character in "Beef", as Paul is also a crypto investor. Mazino, 31, has many prestigious acting credentials on his resume, including taking acting classes at schools such as Yale and the Stella Adler School of Acting.

Besides "Beef," Mazino has appeared on the CBS drama "Blue Bloods" in 2019. He's also has talked about how acting makes him feel alive and like he's taking his own path in life rather than the traditional nine-to-five work journey that so many college graduates his age are encouraged to take.

What does Young Mazino's Instagram look like?

Mazino shows off his calm and relaxed nature by enjoying a motorcycle ride on an open highway in November of 2021. The mountains in the distance and the clouds in the sky add to the beautiful aesthetic of the photo, and it gives us an idea of some of the hobbies Mazino has in his spare time away from acting.
