Supporting Actors/ Actresses worth promoting!

[thatsouthernasianchick]

So here I go expressing my opinion regarding the Thai entertainment industry. There's been A LOT of fresh faces lately, some good and some bad (acting wise and looks wise) but only a few make the cut and actually get promoted to pra'ek/ nang'ek status (ie: Jutathep brothers, Sixth Sense girls). However, I believe that there are underrated actors/actresses that should be promoted to pra'ek and nang'ek status. Cough, cough, take notes CH7!
 
The following is my list.
 
CH3:
Females: Jaja Primada, Mint Natwara (stop giving her nang'rai roles! I like her as nang'ek too!)
Males: Pop Thrakoon, Art Pasut--- these two guys seriously need big time promoting. They deserve better roles. Phet Thakrit also needs his own lakorn and star as pra'ek...pronto.
 
CH5:
Females: Kwang the Star 7 (She is nang'ek material; pair the girl up with Toomtam for goodness sake), Fang Pichaya (Her acting proves that she deserves nang'ek roles)
Males: Singto the Star 5 (He reminds me of Bee Swiss in certain pictures/ angles but the kid can definitely act!)
 
CH7:
NEEDS IMMEDIATE RECRUITMENT BECAUSE ALMOST ALL OF THEIR ACTORS/ ACTRESSES LOOK LIKE THEY CAN BE FOUND AT THE MALL.
On the other hand, I think they should promote Mick Tongraya to pra'ek because his acting abilities and looks are definitely up to par, if not, better.
And also, bring Cheer back to the screen as nang'ek please. Thank you.
 
And if any of these channels are smart, they should give Rodmay Kaneungnit a chance and give her GOOD nang'ek roles. Preferably with Ken Theeradeth, New Wongsakorn, First Ekkhapong, or Om Akkapan again.

I agree w/ some of your list ^_^
 
Here's my list, not concerning their channel. 
 
Phet Thakrit! I'm so sick seeing him being the 2nd 3rd pra ek. -_-
 
Mac Weeradon, I think he's good looking w/ good acting. Why not? It's just that I'm a bit disappointed when he signed contract w/ Ch.7.
 
Got Jirayu oh my goodness this guy is just too adorable, in fact I see him better than James Ji in Khun Chai Pat lol but I still like James Ji.
 
Alek Teeradech (eh how to spell his name).
 
Deaw Suriyont, but maybe evening roles b/c I'm happy to see him prime time being evil.
 
Singto, yeah!
 
Alex Rendell haha maybe teen lakorns.
 
Guy Ratchanon, with petite nang ek.

 

[Bieluvr]

I agree. Some more that deserves to be promoted are Maprang Wiragarn, Aerin Yoogthatat, Fair G, and Manao.

Yeah, I definitely agree with Mac Weeradon! I wanna see him paired with Jern Warunya again.

ch3:
no one really. all my D2B bias aside, i have to say that dan worawech deserves better. but on the note of deserves better, there's too many to list.
 
ch5:
guy ratchanon-got the looks, so what more do you want?
ak akarat-for the same reason as guy. total package. omo the dimples!
fang pichaya-pretty, liked her as nangek, looking better now, and even as supporting, i love her
gun napat-haven't really come into the lakorn screen yet, but HURRY!
 
ch7:
my sisters says there a lot of good looking newbies and newbie-ish that needs to be upgrade, but i don't know of any except some major downgrading! i haven't watch mac weeradon since he join ch7, but yeah i suppose he deserve a praek role to see if he'll shine. 
 
other:
Kao Jirayu-dude this baby needs more face-time!

I agree with everything everyone listed. Ch. 7 really does suck at promoting their actors/actresses. And some supporting Pra'ek/N'eks should be main leads. Like Grace for instance, she's had main roles before but those were not "evening lakorns". And then they put her right back as supporting actress. I also agree that they should push Cheer upfront more. They've been giving her supporting roles next to Min P. Really? - Good thing she's got 2 new shows coming up some time in the future. Mint N, should also play N'ek roles. She has improved A LOT and acts better than the other newbies in her generation. Yardtip is another great actress, but they've permanently moved her to the early lakorns instead of the evening lakorns. P'Arnus should not have been given rai, or supporting P'ek roles. He is good looking and is a great actor. Same with P'Au Nawapol Puwadol, he's still hot. I think he looks better than P'Vee Verapap actually. Dr. Kong Sorawit Suboon should have better roles. He is super hot! The list can go on and on.

 

[Asy]

Yeah, I definitely agree with Mac Weeradon! I wanna see him paired with Jern Warunya again.

 
speaking of it, wew, maybe sequel of Plerng Toranong. which is so impossible. Yeah, I wanted to see Jern as nang ek as well. But now, considering she's married... -_-

 

[x0unerthanlater]

I just thought of someone else... P' Aom Akkapan should def. play for Ch. 3 more often. I want to see him paired with Chompoo or Taew. Esp. Taew! Omg that would be a hot couple! - Him & Mint Chalida would also look adorable. Ah! The possibilities are endless since he hasn't played for Ch.3  except the lakorn with Cherry.

 

[Heidi]

Great topic! There are definitely some that deserves to be n'ek, whether they have only been supporting or n'ek once in a while.
CH.3:
 

--GIRLS--​

-Vicky Sunisa Jett: I know she gets n'ek roles here and there, but give her better roles and pair her up again with Ken Theeradeth for prime time! She's a good actress.
-Yardthip: Same as Vicky, yes she gets n'ek roles, but I would like to see her in better roles and in prime time.
-Mint Nutwara: Agree, she needs to be n'ek again, she has definitely got the talent. Often when she plays supporting/n'rai, she outshines the n'ek.
-Sara: She's a great actress, but stuck with not so great n'ek roles.
-Wawwa: In my opinion, she's a pretty good actress, I love her in Sixth Sense and I would like to see her as n'ek.
 

--GUYS--​

-Chai Chatayodom: I love this guy to the max. He is awesome in supporting roles, but I would love to see him as pek again. He is such a GREAT actor. He always nails his roles! Ch.3 PLEASE put p'Chai back as p'ek.
-Top Jaron: He's a really great actor. He's been doing well in his roles and I would like to see him as p'ek.
-Beam Kawee: D2B fever flashback. He's a great singer and he's a great actor, but why not give him good p'ek roles? He needs to be given good p'ek roles pronto.
-Phet Thakrit: needs his own lakorn as p'ek. Very handsome.
-Art Pasut: He's handsome and a great actor, nothing else to say. Promotion big time.
-Pop Thagoon: He's very handsome, needs better p'ek roles. He was great as supporting in SJ, but I want to see him good p'ek roles.
 
CH.5
 

--GIRLS--​

-Fang Pitchaya: Needs to be back as n'ek!! She's been playing supporting only, which she is good at any role, but really needs to be n'ek again. Ch.5 sucks.
-Ann Alicha: I don't understand why Ch.5 downgraded her, she's a good actress. She has more talent than some of their n'eks.
-Aerin: Enough with her being n'rai/supporting. Give her n'ek roles. Really good actress.
 

--GUYS--​

-Guy Rachanon: Needless to say, this guy needs a MAJOR PROMOTION. He's got the cute and adorable look. Such a cutie and great acting.
-Singto: Good acting, don't mind seeing him as p'ek. He can definitely act. 
-Gun Napat: He is an AMAZING singer, I want to see him as p'ek.
 
CH.7
 

--GIRLS--​

-Benz Punyaporn: she can definitely act, from evil n'rai to sweet n'ek. Now she's just playing supporting roles or comedic evening?? roles
-Grace Karnklao: she's been n'ek before, but now just playing supporting. Ch.7 sucks at promoting their stars, Grace has the looks and talent.
-Sammie Puntitha: Often stuck as supporting, barely plays n'ek. She is versatile and better than some n'eks.
-Amy Klinpratoom: She's still n'ek, but in the same genre all the time. I want to see her in better n'ek roles, especially drama ones.
 

--GUYS--​

 ​

-Kade: Once a really great actor as p'ek and now as supporting, especially behind Tle, sorry, I like Tle, but if anything Tle should be playing second to Kade. Kade needs to be back as p'ek!

 

[thatsouthernasianchick]

Hmmm...I think Gun Napat would be amazingly cute with Aim Siripichaya (nang'ek from Bu Ngaa Nah Fon) in a comedy lakorn! A cute storyline that goes something like this: pra'ek is the only son and sole heir to a successful multi-millionaire business who, against his parents' wish, goes to be a singer instead. To straighten pra'ek up, his parents pick out a woman for him to marry and help take care of their business, downgrading pra'ek's fame. Pra'ek and nang'ek marries but bickers all the time and then slowly falls for each other. By the time he realizes that he loves nang'ek, pra'ek finds himself competing with other men in the company, bad guys who want to take over the company. Nang'ek is the hero and makes the stubborn pra'ek confess his love for her. Oh! I can definitely see Gun and Aim in a lakorn like this. Now don't ask me where this idea came from... Lol.

Give Kao Jirayu another year or two! Lol! He's wayyy too young! But! He's super hot and mature for his age. His acting? Oh, don't even make me go there; I will literally write a paragraph of how great his acting is. Lol.

 

[Sweet_09]

Ch.3

Phet Thakit - Seriously, i think he could be p'ek...just give him a chance
Top Jaron - i for sure tat he is now ready to take on p'ek role...
Esther Supreeleela - seriously think she better than some n'ek tbh
Eye Kamolned - to me she cute and same as Esther, she even better than some new comer!
Wawwa Nirchari - she too getting there but she is about to get her first n'ek role if i'm not mistaken...pairing up with Toey Pongsakorn in Broadcast big project??
Ja Jittapa - she seriously need some big promotion!!! Need another lakorn of her with Rome lol

Ch.5
Mo Monchanok - she should be a FULL time n'ek!! PRPR she was n'rai and she didnt do bad at all...she outshine n'ek who i think shouldnt be n'ek in da first place!
Fang Pitchaya - just miss her as n'ek...ch.5 u better put her back as n'ek and pair her up with Bie

Ch.7
Baifern Pimchanok - how long have she been with ch.7??? How many lakorn does she have within ch.7 as n'ek and supporting??? I dont know...i wish she will just switch into ch.3!!

 

[lovestar]

GUN NAPAT!!!! I love him so much! Hs voice, his acting and his personality. But I guess since singing is his primary occupation, acting won't be that important.
One of my favourite actresses, Sammie Bunthita should also be promoted. Her acting as a nang'rai proves how talented she is.
Kratip from ch7 is also a good actress but she's been getting way too much supporting roles.
Dan/pattie couple are so underrated its not funny. Especially pattie. She deserves more recognition and it hurts me that she isn't getting it.
Anyways, that's all I can think of

 

[huajaikaungtur]

There are so many actors & actresses that should be promoted! This is a list of actors & actresses I want to see more of, too.
 
Here are a few I can think of:
 
CH3:
-Vicky Sunisa
-Sara Legge
-Top Jaron
-Phet Thakit
-Beam Kawee
-Best Aticha
-Art Pasut
-Kao Jirayu
-Alex Rendell
 
CH5:
-Fang Pichaya
-Aerin Yoogthatat
-Guy Ratchanon
-Gun Napat
-Singto Singgharuth
-Ak Akarat
-Ton Chayaton
-New Chaiyopol
 
& Peung Kunya, I don't think she'll be coming back but I really thought she was a great actress.
 
CH7:
-Grace Klarnklao
-Kade Tharakade
-Sammie Puntitha
-Amy Klinpratoom
-Benz Punyaporn
-Cee Siwat (he needs better roles ^^ )
-Jakajan Akumsiri
-Pai Patit
 
& Win Tawin, I miss his baby face so much.
 
I feel like there's more but I can't think of anyone else at the moment. ^^

 

[x0unerthanlater]

Baifern Pimchanok needs to switch to ch.3 so she can be reunited with Mario! Lol
She honestly only had like 2 Lakorns with Ch. 7.
She is better than the other newbies from Ch. 7... let me not name anyone. >_>
No offense to Tubtim, but I don't know why she's promoted as N'ek, When she played rai, it was perfect for her.
 
& @huajaikaungtur, you're right, Jakajan needs better roles. They NEED to pair her up with better Pra'eks. She's going to be rai in her next lakorn (Susan Kon Pben). I don't know WHY they did that. They should just give her and Cee Ciwat a reunion. I actually thought Lily See Kularb was an adorable show with them two. - Win Tawin, is still in school I think. They said he was in America? or was it England?... This should be 4 years already, he needs to get his cute self back!
 
Kao Jirayu... what can I say without sounding like E-Pba Kae (old ahjumma/old auntie), :woot2: He is one good looking guy. And he has that aura about him that just screams, HOT! Aiya, fai ron jing jing! teh heh heh heh!!

 

[huajaikaungtur]

@x0unerthanlater: Oh yes, how could I forget Baifern? Baifern deserves better roles -- she's such a beautiful lady and yes, with Mario!! Not a fan of Tubtim either.
Agreed, Lilly See Kularb was cute. Cee & Jakajan make a great pair and yeah, Win's in school in America -.-" It's been too long, miss him so much.
 
LOL, no doubt about it, Kao </33

 

[Bieluvr]

I actually like Tubtim and think she needs promoting too. But i agree with you that Baifern definitely needs better n'ek roles and major promoting, she's got the talent and the looks. Some more are Grand, New Chaiyapol, and Aun Chaiyapol. Also, even though has been great n'ek for many years, Pinky should be given a chance to shine again, not get downgraded to supporting or bad n'ek roles.

Tubtim can play rai really well. Like her role as the hidden N'rai that she did in "Asoon Noi Nai Ta-Kieng Kaew". She did a good job with that one. Now a days, being N'rai doesn't exactly mean you're less than a N'ek. Some N'Rai has outshone N'eks. To me personally (just my opinion) I think she's better suited as N'rai.

It will be a while till Pinky is able to get prime time exposure again. People (the elders) don't like scandals. Especially if it involves affairs. No doubt she was front of the line for ch. 7. I still like her because she's a really good actress. Better than some of the ones upfront right now in ch. 7.

 

[Bieluvr]

Agreed about Pinky, i can name so many top nang ek from channel seven that can't even measure up to Pinky.
Now to add more to the list, i think Green is pretty good in acting and should really get better roles.

 

[Heidi]

Another one that I will like to add is Nok Usanee for Ch. 7. She's only played supporting but in various roles. From weak character to a nang rai. I think she should be promoted to n'ek. Great actress and she is amazingly beautiful.
 
---More to add---
 
-Nut Thephussadin (Ch.5): he needs to be pek. he's always playing the villian, in which he is good at. But I really want to see him play p'ek and might I say, his English is very hot.
 
-Best Aticha (Ch.3): Though she still lacks in expressing her emotions, she has improved a lot over the years since her first lakorn. I would like to her back as n'ek.
 
-Mos Patiparn (Ch.5): I barely see him on screen. I really like him as an actor and he's still so handsome.
 
-Puri (Ch.5): He's great as supporting, but I would like to see him as pek. Excellent actor.
 
-Deaw Suriyont (Ch.3): This guy can act, from a crazy and cheating boyfriend to a sweet and accepting teacher. P'ek role, please.
