Martha Tuff
Actor/Model
Some people find their calling early—I took the scenic route. After years of navigating the complexities of human nature as a Physician Assistant (and an expert in handling the daily drama of four sons), I’m now bringing that experience to the world of acting. Life has always been about stories—whether told in an exam room, across a dinner table, or now, on screen.
Originally from Canada and now based in New York, I thrive on adventure, authenticity, and the magic of human connection. Every role is an opportunity to explore, transform, and tell a story that lingers long after the credits roll.
