Biography

Syr Law (born Crystal Dionne Porter) is an American actress; she has also been credited under Crystal Porter. She married in 2016 and her legal name is Crystal Porter-Bazemore.

Law made her film debut, credited under her birth name Crystal Porter, as a freshman in Pay The Price (2000). She followed playing the role of a good-hearted masseur opposite Billy Dee Williams in Good Neighbor (2001), a sassy check-out girl in Big Ain't Bad (2002) and a politically roused intern in Bottom (2004).

She appeared in four films in 2005, and in her first studio film for Lionsgate Films, Tyler Perry's Diary of a Mad Black Woman. That year, Law starred in Camp DOA as college student on a road trip gone wrong; the critically acclaimed sci-fi indie, Dark Remains; and Somebodies was recognized at Sundance Film Festival and developed into a spin-off for BET as the network's first scripted series.

Joining the Screen Actors Guild in 2007, Law found her birth name was in use. She used the first four letters of her first name, reversed their order, dropping the later letter. Hence, Syr found her own Law.

The film Touching (2007) is Law's first credit under her current professional name. Election (2008) saw Law playing an ambitious college student. The critically acclaimed film What To Bring To America (2010) introduced Law as an international powerhouse. Law worked with Allen Wolf on the sleeper, In My Sleep (2010) and the international market opened for Law in 2011 in her celebrated performance as Pearl Wisdoms in Paparazzi: Eye in the Dark.

She received a WMIFF nomination and a win at the Nollywood Film Critics Award (NAFCA) for her performance in "Paparazzi: Eye in the Dark". This same film opened the door to other American actors, as she was the first African-American Actress to successfully cross over into all African genres and win several awards and nominations worldwide.

In 2012, Law made her television debut as Becky on NBC's Days of Our Lives.
