Biographie
Currently filming the second season of "Running Point" (Netflix) alongside Kate Hudson, Suzanne reprises her role as the overbearing yet endearing Linda Levenson. She delivers a hilariously memorable cameo in the Eddie Murphy blockbuster 'Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F' (Netflix) as Felicity, accompanied by her dog, Manolo. Recently, she charmed audiences and sparked laughter as Betsy in the horror comedy 'Found Footage: The Making of the Patterson Project' (Apple+TV). Suzanne is a series regular portraying soap opera star Miranda in the pilot "For Years to Come," written by and starring James Patrick Nelson. Her recent TV guest appearances include glamorous, murderous Betty on 'Magnum P.I.,' hilariously clueless Mary on "Grace & Frankie" (Netflix), snobbish Edie on Fox's 'The Cool Kids,' and carefree Linda on ABC's long-running 'Fresh Off the Boat.'
Among her 60+ TV and film credits, some personal favorites include major supporting roles such as the outraged Janice in the Duplass brothers' indie hit 'Manson Family Vacation' (Netflix), brash New Jersey cougar Diane on 'It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia,' and the wide-eyed spiritualist Gerty in the cult PopTV comedy 'Swedish Dicks,' starring Peter Stormare, Johan Glans, and Keanu Reeves.
Suzanne narrates the popular young adult audiobook 'Black Rocks and Rainbows: The True Adventures of Henry Opukahaia, the Hawaiian Boy Who Changed History,' written by her late mother, Susan C. Riford, available on Amazon, Audible, and other audiobook platforms. Her other audio work includes Nick DeWolf's gripping supernatural thriller, 'Pulling Strings.' She is among the select group of actor-narrators who perform live at the Samuel Oschin Planetarium at Griffith Observatory in Los Angeles.
Trained in New York with Stella Adler and William Esper, Suzanne has appeared in over 100 stage productions there, on tour, and in regional theaters across the country.
She is a member of Pacific Resident Theatre, Rogue Machine, and the Road Theatre Company. Suzanne resides in the Hollywood Hills with her husband, Alan Toman.
