Martha Tuff
Actor/Model
After a career navigating the complexities of human behavior as a Physician Assistant, I transitioned into acting with the same focus and discipline. I’ve spent the past year gaining hands-on experience on professional television and film sets. I’m now focused on principal and supporting roles, bringing grounded, specific work to the screen. Originally from Canada and now based in New York.
