Florence Faivre

Florence Faivre was a French-Thai actress born in Bangkok, Thailand. Initially raised in Aix-en-Provence, France, Faivre moved back to Thailand with her French father and Thai mother. There, she entered the world of show business at 13, hosting teen-centric talk shows on Thai television. Faivre made her film debut with the lead role in "The Siam Renaissance" (2004), a high-budget fantasy Thai film. She also starred in "The Elephant King" (2006), an American-Thai romance, alongside celebrated actress Ellen Burstyn. Faivre made her acting debut on American television in "Kings" (NBC, 2009), a short lived speculative fiction series that updated the biblical King David story to a version of the present. She acted in an episode of the Kevin Bacon-led "The Following" (Fox, 2013-15) in 2014, before landing her big break with a starring role on "The Expanse" (Syfy, 2015-). Faivre played Julie Mao, the missing daughter of a business tycoon in a future where the entire Solar System is colonized by humans. The show was received fairly well, and was Faivre's most well-known role to that date. Her next role, however, was also high-profile; she joined the cast of the Marvel series "Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D." (ABC, 2013-) as the recurring alien character Sinara for its fifth season.
