full name: talan davis sylvester.
hometown: los angeles, california.
orientations: heterosexual/heteromantic.
much like all of sue sylvester’s children, talan has no idea who his father is. when asked, sue’s response was always something along the lines of, “he was a very famous actor whose specific details i’m not at liberty to discuss.” in reality, it is likely that talan is the product of a one time thing with a total random, but he has always taken his mother’s word as law, and decided to follow in his father’s footsteps (because like sue said, he’s totally an actor, duh) and pursue a career in front of the camera, too.
although sue is a notably terrifying woman, ruthless in all of her actions, she has always been much softer where her children are concerned, and talan has always looked up to her. in his mind, she is a strong, fierce woman who knows exactly what she wants, and what could be more awesome than that? he was too young when he begun his acting career (though, still of his own volition) to realize he was contributing toward the family income, but he takes great pride in that knowledge now. he knows that sue can absolutely take care of everybody herself, but he likes the idea that he is helping, at least financially, and tries his hardest to always look out for his mother and siblings.
raised in los angeles, it was easy for talan to progress from smaller roles to eventual hollywood blockbusters. notably, he starred as link larkin in the film adaption of hairspray, as well as a bunch of both comedies and sappy romance movies. he doesn’t have a preferred genre, but is often typecast as the hot male lead, whatever the project may be.
earlier this year, sue’s sister, jean—her favorite person in the world save for her children, and who sue provides constant care for—began to yearn for life back in she and sue’s hometown of providence, rhode island, and never able to say no to her, sue agreed. although his mother is his manager, talan didn’t necessarily have to follow them in their relocation; scared of sue having nobody to help her with his aunt, though, he opted to go with them.
talan isn’t necessarily taking a step back from acting, but it is obviously more difficult to come by jobs without being close to hollywood. to make sure people remained interested, sue and her team set up a pr relationship between talan and samantha mccarthy, an arrangement talan was fine with; he wasn’t dating anybody, and sam was cool. as long as she was good with fake dating him, he was good with it, too.
