Bryce Husser

**Bryce Husser** is a member of the former Dixie Mafia, the older brother to Roller Husser and the relapsed cocaine-addicted husband to Jennifer Husser. He is a supporting character in Season One and Season Two of the series *Claws*, portrayed by Kevin Rankin.

Despite making an advance to start anew as a life abundance coach, Bryce was pulled into working alongside his uncle Clay Husser upon learning that his brother Roller may have died. Next to this, he begins relapsing into snorting cocaine after murdering the presumed killers and continuously ignores his wife Jennifer Husser's pleas to leave the Mafia for good.

Dissolved into operating under the new Russian regime, he plots with his uncle and brother to attack the new leader Zlata while ignoring their unyielding ally Ruval's quip for patience in the plan. Hospitalized, he also fights off the recurring memory of Jennifer's infidelity with Hank Gluck.
