Florence Faivre grew up in the town of Aix-en-Provence in the south of
France. Early in her adolescence, she and her family moved to Bangkok,
Thailand. Florence started her career in show business there at the age
of 13. She was the regular host of two Thai television shows,
"Teentalk" and "E for Teens", while also hosting countless programs as
a guest presenter for international television shows throughout South
East Asia.
Then in 2002, in her final year of high school, Florence was chosen to
be the lead in the film "The Siam Renaissance" from the producers of
the internationally acclaimed Thai films "Bangkok Dangerous" and "Tears
of the Black Tiger." The Siam Renaissance would be the second largest
Thai production to date. She was unanimously praised by the critics for
her star performance in the film, receiving a Best Actress nomination
at the 2004 Bangkok International Film Festival.
Florence Faivre then moved to New York City to further pursue her
acting career. Soon afterward, she was cast as the female lead
alongside Bernard Giraudeau in 'Chokdee', a story based upon the life
of Dida Diafat, the world's first French champion in Thai Boxing.
Florence then took on the female lead in The Elephant King featuring
Academy Award Winner Ellen Burstyn. The Elephant King premiered at the
Tribeca Film Festival, was a Spotlight Film of the Hamptons
International Film Festival, and went on to win Best Film laurels at
the Sacramento International Film Festival, Oxford Film Festival, SoCal
Independent Film Festival, Lone Star Film Festival, and others from
around the world. The Elephant King will be released in 2008
theatrically in the United States and worldwide. Florence has also
recently concluded work on "The Coffin" which will make its market
premiere in May 2008 at the Cannes Film Festival.
Florence Faivre has recently guest starred in television shows such as
"The Following", "How to Make it in America" and "Kings."
