Suzee Rodetis

Acting

Before acting, Suzee began modeling at a young age and as a young adult owned and operated her own modeling school. She also spent time working in radio and television, especially enjoying her time as a producer and co-host of 'Speak Up For Life', a local TV interview talk show in the 80's which centered around guests who demonstrated a passion and understanding of the value of life, even in difficult times. While she was still running her modeling school, her father seemed to recognize something else in her, encouraging her also to consider acting. Other than some high school theatre, and a few one-act plays that she would perform for family when she was much younger, she never really gave acting much thought. But with her fathers persistence, she began dabbling as an extra in films, with the privilege of working in movies alongside actors such as Goldie Hawn, Ben Johnson, Sean Connery and Tony Orlando and with directors such as Steven Spielberg and Richard Brooks. Because it didn't take long for Suzee to realize how much she loved working in film, even with the long hours on a set, she decided to jump right into the study of acting with an emphasis in film. Much to her own surprise, she quickly began getting audition callbacks, reaffirming her fathers prediction and her newfound love. However over time as she began to see a rapid moral decline in entertainment she began to have God-inspired dreams and visions of the future for the Redemptive Film industry. In time she realized that her true passion, and the nudge and call of God, was to work in the Redemptive Film industry and become involved in its growth and development. Suzee is a Texas girl, born and bred, and is happily married with three wonderful sons. However, even with the busyness of raising a family and working full time Suzee has never lost sight of the vision she believes God shared with her concerning the future of the faith film industry. In her desire and determination to stay an active part of it she has remained involved as time would allow. Besides acting she has worn other creative hats behind the scenes from casting and coaching, to writing, location scouting and even some directing. Now that her sons are grown and embarking on their own careers Suzee is finally able to once again pursue her love for acting. Her desire is to focus on films and film companies that share her dream and passion for excellence in every aspect of the project. In her pursuit she continues to pray to see Redemptive films truly begin to "rival anything Hollywood puts out"; a word she strongly feels the Lord shared with her years earlier.
