Through out the years of being in the acting industry I felt a big change in improvement in my acting, because its just knowing that this is my job, I cannot be shy anymore, just do it, just act it out.

But not only that I also got the opportunity to join several acting classes, the main one was by Channel 3 (Thailand’s biggest Thai TV Channel) I got that opportunity because I was going to play a role in one of their soap operas.

  • Who is your favorite actor or actress ? The hardest role they’ve ever played ?

My favorite actor is Johnny Depp because he is very funny and an amazing actor, y favorite role of him is when he played Captain Jack Sparrow, I just love his drunk acting. My other favorite actor is Tom Hardy because the tough man role he plays through out is films , he is also very well know by his body transformation for different leading roles which makes it fascinating.

The hardest role I have ever played in was in one of a Thai soap operas for Channel 7, I had to play a policeman in one of the scenes and the script was very hard for me. I have had many challenging moments both mentally and physically throughout my acting career. I had one commercial that I will never forget, Ford Ranger, I basically floating through the rocky river without a paddle , having no control at all.

  • Describe your acting style

I enjoy my work, but my favorite kind of work is commercial shoots because they are fun and doesn’t have a lot of script. My acting style is just to be myself and how I adapted to my role, I try to act as natural as possible. I’m very good with mix martial arts, I have experienced with Taekwondo for 7 years and in love with stunts.

  • Torapika cappuccino

My recent job was a commercial for a very well know coffee products called Torapika Cappuccino. Torapika cappuccino is well know for their great advertising and also very delicious coffee product. Whilst having a great opportunity to film this product the company flew me over to Indonesia twice to work for them, what a great opportunity and an amazing experience and I would also love to say thank you to all the Indonesian people over there especially the people who worked with me. It was also such a big pleasure to work with Boy William a big public figure of Indonesia, what a great man !

  • What sort of acting roles will you be seeking in the future?

My goal is to get into Cinema films, that’s where i wish to be someday.

Gold City: So gold city was my first commercial of my acting career, it was a students shoe brand. I was only 15 and it was my 6th casting for a job that I finally got, I had to play as a student and showing off those school shoes jumping on a trampoline doing front flips and back-flips for a good camera movement.
Bon O Bon Chocolate: Chocolate bon o bon, was where I had to play a teenager who is giving chocolate to a girl that I like.
Suzuki: For Suzuki it was for 6 countries in Asia and it was for a for the Asian football cup that Asia is hosting and Suzuki are their main sponsor, so I played in a teenage gang to go support football and traveled in a small ECO Suzuki car to a match with my friends and enjoying that moment.

  • Πότε ήταν ο πρώτος σας ρόλος ως ηθοποιός;

Ο πρώτος μου ρόλος ως ηθοποιός ήταν όταν ήμουν 15 ετών, ήμουν πρωταγωνιστής σε μία διαφήμιση για παπούτσια που ονομαζόταν “χρυσή πόλη”.

  • Έχετε προχωρήσει στην καριέρα σας όπως εσείς περιμένατε;

Leon Knox

Στα χρόνια που βρίσκομαι στη βιομηχανία της τηλεόρασης, αισθάνθηκα μια μεγάλη αλλαγή και βελτιώθηκα στην δουλειά μου. Πλέον γνωρίζω την δουλειά μου καλά και κινούμε πλέον με άλλον αέρα.

Αλλά δεν είχα μόνο την ευκαιρία να συμμετάσχω σε διάφορες τηλεοπτικές διαφημίσεις, με κυριότερο κανάλι το Channel 3 (το μεγαλύτερο τηλεοπτικό κανάλι της Ταϊλάνδης), αλλά μου δόθηκε η ευκαιρία και να παίξω ένα ρόλο σε μία από τις σαπουνόπερες τους.

  • Ποιος είναι ο αγαπημένος σας ηθοποιός;

Ο αγαπημένος μου ηθοποιός είναι ο Johnny Depp επειδή έχει χιούμορ και ένας εκπληκτικός ηθοποιός. Μου άρεσε πολύ ο ρόλος του Captain Jack Sparrow στην ταινία “Οι πειρατές της Καραϊβικής”, και ειδικά τις στιγμές που έπαιζε τον μεθυσμένο.

  • Ο πιο δύσκολος ρόλος που έχουν παίξει ποτέ;

Ο δυσκολότερος ρόλος που έπαιξα ποτέ ήταν σε μια από τις θεατρικές όπερες του καναλιού 7 της Ταϊλάνδης. Έπρεπε να παίξω έναν αστυνομικό σε μια από τις σκηνές και το σενάριο ήταν αρκετά δύσκολο για μένα.

  • Περιγράψτε το στυλ σας

Μου αρέσει η δουλειά μου και προτιμώ τα διαφημιστικά σποτ διότι δεν περιλαμβάνουν πολύ σενάριο για μελέτη. Πάντα προσπαθώ να είμαι ο εαυτός μου όταν παίζω έναν ρόλο.

  • Τι είδους ρόλους θα αναζητάτε στο μέλλον;

Ο στόχος μου είναι να μπω στην βιομηχανία του κινηματογράφου, σε μεγαλύτερους ρόλους.
