Susan Berger(I)
- Actress
Susan Berger was born in Buffalo, NY. Susan went to Nursery school in Paris, France, finished elementary school in Cape Town, South Africa and graduated high school in Rome, Italy. In between, she lived in five different states so she called a lot of places home. She lives in Los Angeles, California.
After she graduated from the University of Georgia she got a scholarship to teach acting at Honolulu Community Theatre in Hawaii (her alums include Clyde Kusatsu, Keone Young and Haunani Minn) and take a Master's degree at The University of Hawaii. From there she went to London where she hoped to pursue an acting career. England's work permit requirements didn't make that possible so she went to Front Street Theatre in Memphis, Tennessee, and from there to New York. Susan appeared in many Regional and Off-Broadway plays and in both the original and Broadway productions of the musical The Robber Bridegroom.
One of her most memorable experiences was being cast in Joel Coen's The Tragedy of Macbeth. The film shot during Covid. And everyone involved was grateful to be a part of a truly magical experience. Susan's other films include Kajillionaire, Looks to Kill, The Dollar King, and the upcoming The Legacy of Cloudy Falls.
Susan can be seen on Jury Duty on Amazon's Freevee, playing Barbara Goldstein. Jury Duty was a truly breath-taking experience, as all of the dialog was improvised around a set of premises that the cast were never sure would actually happen the way the writers and producers imagined them. The fact that that it came out so well is a tribute to production team's editing skills. Other TV appearances include roles in American Horror Story, Baskets, Mom, Criminal Minds, Bob Hearts Abishola, and Hunters. After studying improv and musical improv at UCB, Susan and her son Christopher Corbin formed a two-person improv group. Son of a Mother.
