6:66 Tai Mai Dai Tai is the first movie I’ve made in the last ten years. While I was away, I went to the United States and took a film-directing course for five years, then came back to direct TV commercials. The only acting I’ve done recently was a small role in Banlang Mek the Musical.
During the time I was out of the spotlight, I enjoyed a low-profile career and picked up many valuable life experiences.
The audiences may see me as older, but I prefer to think of myself now as more mature and experienced than before.
In 6:66, I play a detective called Wut, investigating and attempting to solve a key mystery in a supernatural case.
As an actor, it is my responsibility to realize what, and who, I have to be in the scenes. It can be difficult before shooting when you try to get into the head and mind of the character and understand his personality.
I admit that pretending you’re someone else is the most difficult part of the job. But I have to get past that point and do my best during the shooting period without losing my self-confidence.
When the camera is running, I can’t worry about not acting well. I simply need to stay focused on the character and the scene. In fact, I got so into character that I started to feel like a real investigator. I enjoyed it so much I’m now thinking about becoming a detective someday.
I would define heaven as happiness, and hell as sadness. It’s like the rule concerning actions and reactions. If you do a good thing then you’re happy and may feel like you’re in heaven. But if you do something bad, the result may make you feel like you are living in hell.
I smile often and keep my anger inside myself. I usually appear friendly and happy. Sometimes people around me don’t even know when I’m upset.
But I could just snap soneone’s head off if someone really gets in my face and pushes me to the limit. The only thing that prevents me from acting so rashly is my conscience. So be careful. (laughs)
Speeding is my guilty pleasure. I respect the law but sometimes I just can’t resist the adrenaline rush. I usually ride my motorbike or drive my car too fast, just for the thrill of it. I know that it’s bad but I just can’t resist.
I survived a severe car accident. The car flipped over several times before finally crashed at the foot of a bridge. I blacked out for a while, I don’t really know for how long, but when I came back to my senses, all I can remember is that I saw both of my legs pointing upward, while my head was hanging down. But I didn’t get injured much, nor did the other two people in the car.
It’s like a miracle that me and my two passengers survived. I felt really lucky, like I had been saved, because at first I had not buckled up the seat belt, but then for some reason it felt wrong so I did. Remembering what I saw on that day, it’s like I’ve experienced death.
If I had one wish, I would wish my mom could get younger. Nothing would be better for me than knowing that she would be happy and healthy forever.
Or I might wish to be stranded on a deserted island with a beautiful girl because it would be impossible for her to run away (laughs).
