When Michal Suchanek was 12, he got his first break -- a part in the Nutcracker. Michal's career accelerated after he signed with Evangelista in Vancouver, and he received many offers to do commercials which were broadcast in Canada and the USA. Michal, born in Slovakia, also appeared on television programs, e.g., Sleepwalkers, X-Files and Hope Island. Television films are an important part of his resume: Zalinda's Story, Dirty Little Secret, Noah, Unconditional Love, and Y2K. Probably more important, Michal appeared in 'Edison: Wizard of Light' (HBO). For his outstanding role, he received an Emmy nomination. Success with awards continued as Michal was nominated for a Young Artist Award in connection with his performance in 'Aftershock: Earthquake in New York', mini-series produced by CBS. Michal's father, who holds a master's in performing arts, helps Michal and acts as his coach. When Michal isn't at work, he enjoys such things as computers, playing tennis, swimming, chess, snow skiing, and 'voice impersonations'. He resides in Los Angeles and Vancouver (B.C.) and is a citizen of Canada. Show less «
