Deven started out as a professional figure skater whose triple-gold medal status is memorialized in her hometown located in the remote, isolated, boreal tundra of Northern Canada. She was called in by Disney to recreate the figure skating portions of "Blades of Glory" and "Ice Princess" which proves she can still turn a trick. Realizing she didn't want to don a Smurf costume to tour with Ice Capades, she transitioned to a brief modeling jaunt where she quickly discovered that any industry who prefers a closed mouth was not for her. Thankfully her sizable comic talents landed her in Toronto where she graduated from Seneca College at the top of her class and perfected her comedic sensibilities at Second City. Landing several national commercials and movie roles gave her the money to feed her insatiable addiction to Pez candy dispensers. Deven lives in Los Angeles with her husband and comedy party Joel Bryant an their kitten 'WHEN.'

With self-discipline engrained from years of early morning skating practice and late night comedy shows, Deven quickly excelled to win ten Best Female Improvisor / Sketch Comedy Performer awards from the LAC, prevailed in Craig Shoemaker's Comedy Idol competition, and won "Best of the Fest" at the First International Hollywood Comedy Festival as one-half of the nationally recognized improv duo
Composte Comedy Heap.

Well Hello,
I, Me, am here in
<whisper> hollywood <end whisper>.
I've hermetically sealed you
on this page -
I hope you don't take umbrage with that.

I am truly
overwhelmed and thankful
to everyone who has
supported my comedy parodies. The outpouring of emails, photos and videos lets me know that there are others who enjoyed the 80's as much as I did.

Whoosh.

Fact: Deven is not a mensa member.

 

Deven and Joel met in 1998 and immediately began performing together as a comedy duo.
Seven years later Joel proposed during a game of bingo at a Pez convention.
They were married in Los Angeles 10/14/2007.
Joel's birthday is 10/15.
Someone made damn sure Joel will never forget their anniversary.

A great profile means a long marriage.

Great Quotes from MATRIMONIUM:

Her inimitable charm is etched over the reality-show spoof Matrimonium which won Philly Fest Favorite where Deven's bizarrely observant TV show hostess role, Andre Genous, was lauded:

"The best character, however, is the deadpan hostess"
-Gary Kramer, San Francisco Bay Times
"a pitch perfect performance by Deven Green as the vacuous TV show hostess."
-IMDB
"really standout funny performance by Deven Green as the show hostess."
-Bryan Irrera
"Matrimionium is at its best when we are looking at the zoned out hostess."
-DVD Verdict
The real joy for me was to see a completely original character pop out in Deven Green's game show hostess. I guarantee you haven't come across this person in any other movie. In a film that was largely improv she delivers a daring and innovative creation. If there isn't an award for that there should be.

VOICE OVER:
Click Here: Deven Green's Voice Demo

With over 30 years of practice at talking, it is no surprise that her voice was enlisted for Disney commercials, Cineplex Odeon's film listings, Subaru car commericals, Heal The Bay Foundation, ADR for Charlie Matthau's "Her Minor Thing," "The Music Within," and Roger Kumble's "Just Friends."

As a regular character guest-voice on The Howard Stern and Mancow radio shows, the viewer response was as expected:
"you lady, are disgusting," and,

"I hope you get hit by a bullet."

WRITING:

Deven has a solid comedy writing background from sketch comedy shows in both Toronto and Los Angeles to random speech writing (Marlee Matlin, Donny Osmond, Sharon Osbourne, Garth Brooks and Leslie Neilson for the Starkey Foundation) to extraordinarily well-worded eBay auctions.

What did the LA Times reviewer say?

"Ms. Green is zany and energetic"

"…clever and inspired…"

"Green…did a rib-achingly funny impersonation of Katherine Hepburn."

Yes, all the Brenda Dickson parodies are created by me...partly improv, partly written
but always how I speak in real life.

With a hard-earned reputation as one of the best (and easiest to work with) female improvisors in Los Angeles, this smart-mouthed, dual-citizen is talented in any country…
at least that is what Deven will tell you.

 

FAST FACT:

Deven was born missing both bottom ribs but had 3 sets of buck teeth.

She appeared as a model in Chatelaine, GQ, Canadian Living and Marie Clarie. During a live fashion show Deven tried a self-tanning lotion which only made her look marbelized. Then, the fake press-on nails snagged in her panty hose and, at the time, could not afford a second contact lens.
While walking down the catwalk she apologized to the audience saying
'Sorry, this is my first show!' ...and last.

It's like looking into a mirror isn't it.
