Florence Vanida Faivre (born 8 June 1983) is a French-Thai actress and model. She began her career as a teen television host in Thailand, and later branched into modelling and acting, making her film debut starring in the 2004 film The Siam Renaissance. She later moved to the United States, where she is now based, and has appeared in several films and television series.
Life and career[edit]
Faivre was born in Bangkok to a French father and Thai mother. She grew up in Aix-en-Provence in France, and moved with her family to Thailand when she was eight years old. At thirteen years of age, she started working as a television host for Teen Talk and E for Teen. A year later, she started modelling work.
After graduating from high school, she was cast as Maneechan, the main character in The Siam Renaissance, a 2004 film adaptation of the novel Thawiphop. The film was at that time "the second largest Thai production ever."[2] Faivre was nominated for the Suphannahong Award for best actress, but did not win.[3]
Faivre subsequently moved to New York, where she initially concentrated on modelling.[3] She has since appeared in several television series and films.[2] John Anderson of Variety praised her performance in the otherwise poorly received The Elephant King, anticipating "a promising career, not just for her statuesque beauty but for her ability to navigate a role and character fraught with contradictions and moral shoals".[4]
Faivre guest-starred in several TV series, including How to Make It in America and The Following, before landing a major role in The Expanse, a science fiction thriller.[5] The show's first episode opened with a shot of Faivre floating weightlessly through a spaceship.[6] Faivre's character Julie Mao, "a smart and rebellious woman from a wealthy family who chooses a principled life of hardship and becomes involved in politically subversive activities,"[5] was a regular in seasons 1 and 2, returning for a guest appearance in season 3.
In the fifth season of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. (2017-2018), Faivre had a recurring role as "the kick-ass Kree warrior Sinara taking down folks with a trio of metal balls."[2]
The 2018 film American Mirror features Faivre as well as Susan Sarandon in major roles as muses to the protagonist.[7]
