Bechir Sylvain Talks Claws, Bigger, and Roles as a Haitian Actor

Growing up, Haitian-American Bechir Sylvain always figured he would follow in his father’s footsteps and become a lawyer. That was until his high school drama teacher suggested acting was his true calling.
Now with over 30 TV and film credits, Bechir is living the American dream as a rising Hollywood star. He currently can be seen on TNT’s Claws and BET+’s Bigger. On June 17, he will appear in episode 5 of the Netflix series Black Summer.
What struck me about talking to the talented actor is his reverence for the mentors in his life. From his father, teachers, and industry insiders, Bechir has been surrounded by people who have been instrumental in shaping his life. He has a profound respect for these people that I found refreshing.
Recognizing Bechir as a Haitian fluent in French, Creole, and English, there are not many like him in the industry. His effort to represent his fellow Haitians proudly, as well as finding ways to share more of his culture and heritage on screen, is to be commended.
One thing that has greatly impacted his life is the loss of his wife Shannon due to cancer. I wanted to give Bechir a chance to openly discuss anything he wanted on the topic as a way to honor his wife. While the topic isn’t fun to discuss I hope you listen to his heartfelt and impactful words.
Be sure to check out Bechir on TNT’s hit series Claws, BET+’s Bigger, which is currently streaming season 2, and on episode five of Netflix’s series Black Summer, which drops June
