Suzanne Krull was born and raised in Brooklyn, New York, and later relocated to Southern California with her family during her high school years. After completing her education, she successfully auditioned for and was accepted into the prestigious American Academy of Dramatic Arts, where she spent two years honing her craft. Following her time at the academy, she was invited to return and perform with their production company, a distinction that further solidified her passion for the performing arts. This opportunity ultimately led to her becoming a founding member of The Fountainhead Theatre Co., where she thrived, taking on numerous roles in over 30 plays within a decade-long span. Her outstanding performance earned her a DramaLogue Best Actress nomination.
As her career continued to blossom, Suzanne branched out into stand-up comedy, quickly becoming a sought-after performer at various festivals, including HBO's Aspen Comedy Festival and Vail Comedy Festival. Her impressive stand-up career was marked by frequent appearances at The Hollywood Improv, where she became a regular fixture. However, as time passed, Suzanne found herself yearning for the ensemble and character work that characterized her early days in theatre.
In her 30s, Suzanne's career took off, with a steady stream of guest and recurring roles on popular television shows such as Nash Bridges, N.Y.P.D Blue, The Practice, Sabrina the Teenage Witch, Buffy, Charmed, Nip Tuck, LOST, Desperate Housewives, Perfect Couples, Mr. Sunshine, and PSYCH, among many others. Her film credits include starring roles opposite Madonna in "The Next Best Thing", Jim Carrey in "How The Grinch Stole Christmas", and Leslie Nielsen in Camouflage (2001).
During her time on location in Vancouver, Suzanne discovered a new creative outlet – screenwriting. After completing her screenplay, it was promptly optioned by a major studio. She went on to write, star in, and produce the short film SAM and MIKE, which won numerous awards for Best Short Film at various festivals. Suzanne also penned one-act plays for The Hidden Theatre Co. and had her short story, "The In and Out", published in JANE Magazine after winning the magazine's short story contest.
In addition to her creative pursuits, Suzanne began offering one-on-one coaching services to actors, helping them prepare for auditions and refine their craft. This venture allowed her to combine her passion for acting with her desire to mentor and support others. Her personal life was marked by a loving marriage to stand-up comedian, actor, and writer Peter Spruyt, with whom she had a daughter, Harper Joy.
Tragically, Suzanne's life was cut short when she passed away suddenly on July 28, 2013, in Los Angeles, at the age of 47, due to a ruptured aortic aneurysm.
