Biography

Susan Bain is a seasoned stage and screen actor. Her body of experience represents professionalism that balances creative dedication to the process. Her commitment is centered on strong performance that reflects the director's vision.

From the light-hearted, caring character in Hallmark’s Swept Up by Christmas to darker qualities opposite Anna Paquin in Bellevue, and Jake Gyllenhaal in Source Code, Susan Bain brings considerable talent and depth to her work.
