BK: How did you finally cross over to acting?
The director, Pakpoom Wongjinda, saw me in a short film project for Samsung called “Love at First Flight” last year, and he thought I might be a good fit for his character. So he called me in. Acting is really much harder than I thought. I used to act only in commercials, which are quite short, but being in a long scene is really challenging. It’s all about acting naturally; like you’re not acting.

BK: What do you do apart from acting?
I have my a band with friends. I have played music since high school. At first, I started playing because I just wanted to look cool. But it turned out I really like it. So I continued playing and we sent our songs to a GMM producer, Fong Beer. That led to the release of a single “Won” in another music project called Love Pill. Now we’re called Yes’sir Days and we just released our first single “Karn Ma Kong Ther” in January. Our full album might roll out later this year. BK: What do you like most between acting and singing?
I prefer singing because I can be myself on stage. It’s all me. I can also encourage the audience to have fun with me as well.

BK: Do you have any idols?
Yes, I love all the Thai rock bands like Bodyslam, Big Ass and Silly Fools. Their music really reflects who they are. You hear it and you know it’s them right away. I love to watch them in concert. They are really powerful acts. We dream to be like them. They believed in their dream and continued doing their music without ever losing hope. They are great artists.

BK: What did you do before getting into the entertainment industry?
I just graduated in International Economics. I chose to study it because my family faced serious financial problems during Thailand’s economic crisis in 1997. But I haven’t had any opportunities to use this knowledge that much. I guess I now use it a little bit, as I’ve started doing day trading. I think it’s a good way of making your money grow. It’s better than just freezing your money in your bank account. Interest rates in banks are really low. But playing the stock market you need to know how to invest, when to pull out, and research the stock you’re going to buy. I started with a small budget, like B50,000.

BK: What is your biggest dream?
I want to achieve my dream of being a musician and traveling around the world. Egypt is my dream country. I want to see the pyramids because they are really mysterious; we don’t know how those ancient people built them. I want to see how big they are. I want to feel the stones beneath my feet.
