DEVEN GREEN as the Front Desk Trainee
"Only shallow people don't judge by looks."

This professional figure skater from the Arctic of Canada parlayed her strict physical discipline with absurd childhood to make her an award-winning improv/sketch comedian in both Canada and the US. In contrast to her wide range of film and tv characterizations, (from the bizarre to the ponderous) Deven is a bashful, generous girl albeit judgemental. With a penchance for the eclectic this bon vivant finds balance by altruistically sewing for kittens and breeding Sea Monkies. Inscrutable by nature, Deven's throng of fans will always be left wondering if she is truly that nefarious. Blessed with the honour of being "Phoenix," Akers and Berg's toughest task has been to ferociously keep Deven insulated from the real world. Deven is not blood-related to Tom Green.
