Susannah Devereux

Susannah Devereux was born in Alicante, Spain to an English mother and a father from New Zealand. Susannah's first intention was to be a dancer but that changed after an accident. With her dance background, Susannah became a successful model and did so for many years predominantly runway travelling the world. Susannah quit the fashion business to pursue her true calling/passion - Acting and went to study with Bryon Siron (had trained with Stella Adler in NYC) at the City Acting Studio in Sydney, Australia. Susannah returned to NZ to join the cast of "Shortland Street" in the recurring role of Diane Neilson. During her time back in NZ she was invited to join a workshop set up by the NZ Film Commission with acting coach Jeremiah Comey from Los Angeles - a workshop for actors, writers and directors. There she met writer/director Jonathon Brough who then wrote the film "The Model" for her that went on to be selected at the Cannes Film Festival. Susannah arrived in the US in 1996 originally for a 3-week vacation but instantly fell in love with all that is America. She was granted a Green card as an Artist of Extraordinary Ability. Since her arrival in the US, she has appeared in numerous Independent Films working alongside the likes of Tim Meadows, Danny Trejo, John James, Robin Lively, W Earl Brown, Richard Hatch, Robert Gossett and Jean Michael Vincent and some television including "The Wild Thornberrys" and most recently "Creepshow" alongside Academy nominee Bruce Davison. She has also started producing film and web series in recent years. Always actively looking for interesting female driven stories.
