If And Just Like That's newest addition, Zed, looks familiar to you, you're not alone. Seema's potential love interest had viewers everywhere wondering where they'd seen him before.

Zed is played by 45-year-old French actor William Abadie. You might not recognize his name, but there's a good chance you've seen him before. Here's everything to know about William, from his acting career to his Instagram:
William is a marathon runner who likes to travel.
ICYMI, this is William:
According to his IG, William is a serious runner who joins marathons to raise money for charity. Most recently, he ran the New York City marathon and donated all of the funds he raised to City Harvest, a food rescue organization.
"A good way to start the day," the actor captioned an action shot. "Thank you for listening, for reacting and for taking the time to support, donate, care or cheer."
William also likes to travel, and sometimes posts photos from his adventures, like this one:
Plus, he's a huge fan of snowboarding.
William's And Just Like That role isn't his first time in the SATC universe.
Currently, William stars as Zed, a club owner who catches the eye of Carrie's friend Seema in And Just Like That... But, like many of the show's other guest stars, William also appeared in an episode of Sex And The City.
In season 6, episode 5 "Lights, Camera, Relationship," William made an appearance as Tony, a Prada employee who Carrie meets while shopping with her boyfriend, Jack Berger. Tony asks Carrie to set him up with one of her friends—and a delighted Carrie later tells Charlotte (who's newly single after breaking up with Harry) that “I may have found you the impossible dreamboat: Straight, single and works for Prada.”
The relationship didn't pan out, but it did pave the way for William's return in the new HBO Max series.
He also starred in the Netflix hit series Emily in Paris.
But if you're confident you don't recognize William from his time on SATC, no worries. He's also appeared in E.R., The O.C., Ugly Betty, Homeland, Gossip Girl... and Emily in Paris.
Yep—William plays Antoine Lavert in the hit Netflix series, a.k.a. a client of Emily's who owns Maison Lavaux and who just so happens to be having an affair with Emily's boss, Sylvie.
It's worth noting that Emily in Paris, And Just Like That..., and Sex And The City
