Biography[]

A graduate of the National Theatre School Jamaican born Suzanne Coy also known as ZAN is a brilliant, versatile actor-master of over 30 dialects who always brings something interesting to every part. In addition to her stage work including a couple of comedic one-person shows Suzanne has numerous TV and film credits. You may have seen her as series regular in KING, the trend-setting police drama. Nominated for a Canadian Comedy Award she was a regular on CTV's new hit sitcom DAN FOR MAYOR. She had recurring roles both in CBC 's 'HEARTLAND' and Global's 'DA KINK IN MY HAIR'. You can also catch her on NETFLICKS in Rene Zellwegger's 'NEW IN TOWN', 'NOAHS ARCH: JUMPING THE BROOM, or 'MR and MRS LOVING' starring Timothy Hutton among others.

She continues to create characters for ZANTASTICK (a show in development) as well as finally publishing her poetry. As a new producer, she has joined her partners in Australia and America to bring a number of films to completion.

An entrepreneur at heart she is currently part of a team that is bringing a number of ALTERNATIVE GREEN ENERGY products to the global market. She has always been a master networking and instrumental in closing deals where everyone wins. It's all part of a vision for film makers, corporations and change agents, to work together to improve the environment elevate our consciousness. Founder of 'ACT From the HEART Productions' Suzanne sees the artist as a community catalyst. Her 2 shorts on the great community leader Dr.Omowale Satterwhite from the East Palo Alto ghetto have played locally in California. Suzanne graduated from NCDI's Professional Development for Community Consultants in 2002 and has since applied her studies in her capacity as Program Manager for at-risk youth, literacy and numeracy camps. For the past 20 years Suzanne has participated in other community arts programs and that use creativity to teach life skills. ZAN feels it is her mission to increase our individual capacity for ridiculousness and if it isn't through her comic parodies; she also certifies people to laugh for no reason! ZAN is a sought after Acting Coach and teacher on and off film sets. She believes it is time reclaim the role of the artists to be a part of a new Star System not based on psychotic egoism but based on the idea that the storyteller is the inspiration for personal and community transformation.
