Suzanne Ford has a memorable cameo in this summer's Eddie Murphy blockbuster 'Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F' as Felicity (with her dog, Manolo), and will appear soon as Betsy in the new horror comedy film 'Found Footage: The Making of the Patterson Project.' On the TV side, she is a series regular in the new pilot "For Years to Come," written by and starring James Patrick Nelson, and guest stars on "Running Point," the upcoming Mindy Kaling/Kate Hudson basketball series from Netflix. Other recent TV roles include glamorous Betty the murderer on 'Magnum P.I.' and yet another beguiling psychopathic villain in the (hilarious) short film, 'Lucy.' Suzanne has been seen as Edie on Fox's 'The Cool Kids,' as Linda on ABC's long-running 'Fresh Off the Boat,' as Mary on 'Grace and Frankie' (Netflix), as Janice in the Duplass brothers' indie feature hit 'Manson Family Vacation' (Netflix), as brash New Jersey cougar Diane on 'It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia,' and as Gerty in the cult PopTV comedy 'Swedish Dicks,' starring Peter Stormare, Johan Glans and Keanu Reeves. Suzanne trained in New York with Stella Adler and William Esper, and has appeared in over 100 stage productions there, on tour and in regional theatres around the country.

Suzanne can be heard narrating the popular audiobook for young adults, 'Black Rocks and Rainbows: The True Adventures of Henry Opukahaia, the Hawaiian Boy Who Changed History,' written by her late mother, Susan C. Riford, and available on Amazon, Audible and wherever audiobooks are sold. Other audio titles include Nick DeWolf's harrowing supernatural thriller, 'Pulling Strings.' She is one of the elite group of actor-narrators who perform live at the Samuel Oschin Planetarium at Griffith Observatory in Los Angeles.

Notable roles in film and TV include guest star stints on 'Friends,' 'Criminal Minds,' 'Girlfriends' Guide to Divorce,' 'Anger Management,' 'The Middle,' 'Monk,' 'Bones,' 'How I Met Your Mother,' 'House, MD,' 'That 70s Show,' 'Las Vegas,' and many others. Indie films include 'Miss Virginia,' starring Uzo Aduba, the multiple festival award-winning 'You and Me,' 'MoniKa,' 'God's Country,' 'Darkening Sky' with Rider Strong, 'Uncross the Stars' with Barbara Hershey and Ron Perlman, and 'Of Silence' with writer/director/star Jeremiah Sayys, as well as supporting roles in Joel Silver's thriller 'The Apparition,' starring Ashley Greene and Tom Felton, 'The Informers,' starring Kim Basinger, Mickey Roarke, Brad Renfroe and Billy Bob Thornton, and 'You, Me & Dupree,' starring Matt Dillon, Kate Hudson, Owen Wilson and Michael Douglas.

She has appeared in dozens of theatre productions on the west coast, most recently in the Hollywood Fringe production at the Rogue Theatre Company of Christopher Shinn's 'Now or Later.' Other favorite stage experiences include starring as Polly Wyeth in 'Other Desert Cities' at International City Theatre, and productions at The Laguna Playhouse, La Mirada Theatre for the Performing Arts and Rogue Machine Theatre, as well as understudying Annie Potts in the hit play, 'Aftermath.' Suzanne is a member of Pacific Resident Theatre, Rogue Machine and the Road Theatre Company. She lives in the Hollywood Hills with her husband, Alan Toman.
