The Staffa Corner Podcast

Episode 10

Guest: Bechir Sylvain (Actor)

Growing up, Haitian-American Bechir Sylvain always figured he would follow in his father’sfootsteps 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 thatI 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+’sBigger, which is currently streaming season 2, and on episode five of Netflix’s series Black Summer, which drops June 17.

I provide testosterone to the site. You won’t be reading about how nice a actress looks in a dress or how much of a hunk Matt Bomer is in my reviews. I describe colors using words like brown, not taupe. My twitter name is @staffaroadtrip because I love road trips and have done two different 48-state road trips since 2008. My favorite show is White Collar.
