BIOGRAPHY: Susannah Hoffmann is a Montrealer; her father is a town planner, and her mother worked for a branch of the United Nations in the area of civil aviation. As a young woman, she trained as a dancer, performing with Les Grands Ballet Canadiens. By age 16, she decided that dancing wasn't the career path she wanted to follow full-time but she loved performing, so she gravitated to theatre, which, she says with a laugh, "is less painful on the feet but more painful on the head." After studying at Dawson College's Dome Theatre School in Montreal and showcasing in Toronto, she moved to Ontario in 1983.
Hoffmann has put together a list of credits that is nicely balanced across film, television and stage work. Her Shakespearean roles have been significant and international - playing Rose in The Shoemaker's Holiday and Jessica in The Merchant of Venice at the Stratford Festival; Julia in Two Gentlemen of Verona at the Old Globe Theatre in San Diego; and Viola in Twelfth Night for Syracuse Stage. Her numerous episodic-TV credits include roles on The Edison Twins, The Campbells, Katts & Dog (opposite Jesse Collins, who plays her professional and personal partner in Edison: The Wizard of Light), My Secret Identity and Goosebumps.
Hoffmann was aware of Devine Entertainment's roster of work thanks in part to her friendship with actress Brenda Bazinet, who had starred in the Leonardo installment of The Inventors' Specials.
