Biographie
Susannah Devereux was born in Alicante, Spain, to an English mother and a New Zealand father. Initially aspiring to be a dancer, her plans shifted following an accident. Drawing on her dance experience, Susannah enjoyed a successful modeling career, primarily runway work, traveling internationally for many years. She eventually left the fashion industry to follow her true passion: acting. She studied under Bryon Siron, who trained with Stella Adler in New York City, at the City Acting Studio in Sydney, Australia. Returning to New Zealand, Susannah joined the cast of "Shortland Street" in the recurring role of Diane Neilson. While in New Zealand, she participated in a workshop organized by the NZ Film Commission with acting coach Jeremiah Comey from Los Angeles, designed for actors, writers, and directors. There, she met writer and director Jonathon Brough, who wrote the film "The Model" specifically for her; the film was later selected for the Cannes Film Festival. Susannah traveled to the United States in 1996 for a three-week vacation but quickly fell in love with the country. She was granted a Green Card as an Artist of Extraordinary Ability. Since settling in the U.S., she has appeared in numerous independent films alongside actors such as Tim Meadows, Danny Trejo, John James, Robin Lively, W. Earl Brown, Richard Hatch, Robert Gossett, and Jean Michael Vincent. Her television credits include "The Wild Thornberrys" and, most recently, "Creepshow," where she acted alongside Academy Award nominee Bruce Davison. In recent years, Susannah has also begun producing films and web series, consistently seeking compelling female-driven stories.
