Zig Zag is a 2002 American drama film directed and written by David S. Goyer (in his directorial debut) and starring John Leguizamo, Wesley Snipes, Oliver Platt, and Natasha Lyonne.

[4] Dean Singer (John Leguizamo) has terminal cancer, yet is determined to spend his last days taking care of his fifteen-year-old autistic protégé from the Big Brother program, Louis "Zig Zag" Fletcher (Sam Jones III).

Dean got Louis a dishwasher job in shamelessly abusive, exploitative Mr. Walters' (Oliver Platt) restaurant.

Louis' dead-beat, neglecting yet abusive dad pushes him for "rent", which he actually uses to repay violent loan-shark Cadillac Tom (Luke Goss).

[citation needed] The film was released in one theater and earned $1,649 in its opening weekend.
