Thai Actor Ken Thanks Himself for 15 Years in Showbiz
Thai actor Ken Phuphoom Phongphanphak, 34, says he’s busy despite a low‑key profile, highlighting his current series “Blood Legacy” and upcoming film “Nakee 3: Garuda Nakee.” In an interview, he reflected on 15 years in showbiz, his approach to role selection, and his openness to playing a villain. He also shared that his biggest goal now is to succeed in business alongside his acting career.
Ken updates on his current work: he has the series “Blood Legacy” airing on Channel 7HD, the film “Nakee 3: Garuda Nakee,” and will begin shooting another project for True this year, with more lined up for next year. Asked if his quiet demeanor hides a heavy workload, he thanked his luck, saying he feels fortunate to have steady work while many others see fewer opportunities. On choosing roles, he prioritizes the script and then the production team’s suitability. He feels he has played almost every type of character except a blatant villain, which he would welcome if the story and script are compelling. Reflecting on his 15-year career, Ken admitted he once wanted to quit after his first year, feeling unsuited to the limelight, but only found true enjoyment after COVID-19, citing the series “Ghost Luang Lab Jab Tai” as a turning point where he felt ready for challenging roles. His ultimate life goal now is to succeed in business as well as acting.
