"Sue Thomas: F.B.Eye," a groundbreaking, original drama inspired by the true story of Sue Thomas, who although profoundly deaf from the age of 18 months, overcame significant obstacles to work surveillance for the F.B.I. This series is a coming-of-age, suspenseful drama starring Deanne Bray, a severely deaf actress who like Sue Thomas, was strongly encouraged by her parents to speak and read lips. "Sue Thomas: F.B.Eye" is entertainment aimed not just at hearing audiences but at the more than 28 million deaf and hard of hearing individuals in the United States (10% of the population).

As portrayed in the series, Thomas (Bray) is a somewhat sheltered young deaf woman who has recently graduated from college and is about to start her first real job - which happens to be with the F.B.I. Disappointed when she is relegated to the tedious task of analyzing fingerprints, Sue doesn't remain there for long. A new acquaintance, F.B.I. agent Jack Hudson (Yannick Bisson) discovers her unique lip reading ability and enlists her to join the bureau's elite surveillance team. Suddenly Sue and her hearing dog, Levi, are "G-men," caught up in a good deal more action than they ever bargained for. But what they lack in experience, they make up for in spirit and enthusiasm.

"We believe this is a precedent-setting series," says Dave Alan Johnson, creator of "Sue Thomas: F.B.Eye" "Never before has there been a television show about the real life experiences and career of a deaf person - who is also portrayed by a deaf actor. When Deanne came in and auditioned against numerous other actresses - both hearing and deaf - she won the role. We knew right away what an incredibly gifted woman she was and that she perfectly embodied the persona of Sue Thomas."

In addition to Bray, the cast of "Sue Thomas: F.B.Eye" features Yannick Bisson, Rick Peters, Mark Gomes, Tara Samuel, Ted Atherton, Enuka Okuma and Jesse as Sue's golden retriever Levi.

"Sue Thomas: F.B.Eye" is created by Dave Alan Johnson and Gary R. Johnson, creators of PAX's top-rated series, "Doc." Marilyn Stonehouse produces for Pebblehut Productions.
