Suzanne Lenz
Hi everyone! I'm Suzanne. I'm an actress and filmmaker based in Brooklyn, NY.
I believe that storytelling heals people—whether they recognize a feeling that’s within them, or see that a light has been shone on something they didn’t yet consider. Engaging with art is a powerful experience and encourages an opportunity to empathize and build community with one another. And that is why I’m an actor. To help people live an examined life and have a larger appreciation for the human condition.
I would love to read with you to make your best self tape possible. Looking forward to hearing from you!

Hi! I'm Suzanne. Authentic storytelling that creates joy, empathy, and community is very important to me, and it’s my motivating force for being an actress and filmmaker.
My first directorial effort, short film Christmas Eve Eve: Or The Things I Can’t Remember (which I also wrote and star in) recently played at a number of festivals including the 2021 Mill Valley Film Festival. You can watch it on the platform Omeleto, one of the best hubs for high-quality short films on the internet. Currently, I'm producing my first feature film Every Man For Himself, directed by Gary Gardner and starring Daniel Sharman and Nicholas Logan, which will have its world premiere at Cinequest Film Festival in 2023.
As an actress you might have seen me in HBO's Silicon Valley as Fiona, an AI robot who infiltrates the Pied Piper gang. Or maybe in the NBC TV show Blindspot, or the films Ricki and the Flash (dir. by Jonathan Demme), and Obvious Child (dir. by Gillian Robespierre). Recently, I starred in the hit web series, I AM YOU, which has nearly a million views and was produced by Rizzle Studios. I was honored with a best actress award for my work on the show by The International Academy of Web Television.
A Kentucky native, I received my BA in Theatre from Davidson College in North Carolina. I've spent time studying abroad with the Royal Shakespeare Company and the British American Drama Academy in London. In NYC, I've studied improv comedy and sketch writing with the Upright Citizens Brigade and scene study with both Scott Freeman and Maria Dizzia at The Freeman Studio.
I’m happy you’re here!
