Early life and career beginnings

Susan developed an interest in acting at an early age, growing up in nearby Pompton Plains, New Jersey. She finally continued it in her mid-twenties, with her film debut in “Everyone Says I Love You” in 1996, in which she had the role of a dancer.

In 2005, she had a recurring role in the series “Jonny Zero”, playing the character Eve. The show aired on Fox and follows the story of an ex-con who becomes an informant for the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). While the show had some potential, it ultimately failed due to a bad time slot, and Fox made the mistake of airing the episodes in the wrong order, causing problems in continuity.

Her work continued with guest starring roles on “Vanished” and “Law & Order”, and then she was a recurring appearance on the show “Rescue Me”.

The series aired on FX and tells the story of a firefighter living in New York City who deals with numerous issues professionally and personally, especially since the terrorist attacks of 9/11.
