Michal Suchánek(I)
- Actor
When Michal Suchanek was 12, he got his first break -- a part in the
Nutcracker. Michal's career accelerated after he signed with
Evangelista in Vancouver, and he received many offers to do commercials
which were broadcast in Canada and the USA. Michal, born in Slovakia,
also appeared on television programs, e.g., Sleepwalkers, X-Files and
Hope Island. Television films are an important part of his resume:
Zalinda's Story, Dirty Little Secret, Noah, Unconditional Love, and
Y2K. Probably more important, Michal appeared in 'Edison: Wizard of
Light' (HBO). For his outstanding role, he received an Emmy nomination.
Success with awards continued as Michal was nominated for a Young
Artist Award in connection with his performance in 'Aftershock:
Earthquake in New York', mini-series produced by CBS. Michal's father,
who holds a master's in performing arts, helps Michal and acts as his
coach. When Michal isn't at work, he enjoys such things as computers,
playing tennis, swimming, chess, snow skiing, and 'voice
impersonations'. He resides in Los Angeles and Vancouver (B.C.) and is
a citizen of Canada.
