Judo: My big turning point might be when I entered the BL industry. It was a significant turning point. Previously, I worked at Thai Television Channel 3. Most of the dramas were general dramas, not LGBTQ dramas.

After I entered the LGBTQ industry, I felt that it was something new for me and a new challenge. I had new fans, new viewers, and new ways of working, which was an interesting turning point.

Q: How has your upbringing in Bangkok influenced your approach to acting and the roles you choose?

Judo: Living in Bangkok allows us to see the cultural diversity and different people's lifestyles, because most Bangkokians come from different parts of Thailand. They have different ideas. They are more up-to-date with events than those in the countryside. It may affect the way of thinking or the way of acting.

Q: Your role in "The Miracle of Teddy Bear" has garnered attention. What drew you to this project, and what was your experience like working on it?

Judo: First of all, I have to say that the series "Teddy Bear's Miracle" is a drama from Thai Television Channel 3, when it airing that time, it was not yet considered as a Boys Love series. It's a drama that reflects society, about families who have LGBTQ children, how to treat them, and think about it. It might occur to anyone in real life.

It's a way to reflect the society, to show other people's stories in our society, and to support the family institution. Parents who have LGBTQ children may want to see different perspectives, even if it might be better for some families who have LGBTQ children and co-live happily. To love your children without expecting anything in return. When I got this role, I wanted to portray this character as best as I could and put in all my best efforts.

Q: Can you tell us about any upcoming projects you're excited about and what audiences can expect from them?

Judo: For the upcoming project A new project is currently filming; it the series "Dating Game." It's a joint production between Avex Pictures from Japan and Thailand. I'm so excited because I will work with one of Japan's most famous singers, Koji Mukai, a member of the J-pop group “Snow Man.”

For the Thai cast, including "March" Chutavuth and "Fluke" Natouch. I'm so excited. It is a big project between Japan and Thailand, and also promotes Thailand in various ways. Because we shot at many landmarks in Thailand, both in Bangkok and other provinces, we want fans in Thailand and Japan to follow and see what our series will be like, whether it will be as fun as expected. All staff and I are working so hard. We hope that the series will be a good one and receive positive feedback from all fans.

Q: How do you decide on the roles you take (in "Dating Game: The Series”)?

Judo: Actually, I didn't decide on the role that much. I just knew that it's a big project and it's a joint production with Japan, so I wanted to take the role. The characters I took are fun and challenging, and it quite different from the characters I have ever played in the past. I’d like for you to watch it. All actors in the series took different roles from the characters they’ve played before. I guarantee that it’ll be fun.

Q: What kind of characters are you most interested in portraying in the future?

Judo: I'd like to play a character with a lot of complex emotions, such as a psychopath, an autistic person, or someone who requires me to learn and research a lot. For example, people who are autistic or suffering from various illnesses, what are their thoughts and emotions? I want to play the character of such people. I want to reach the point that is called the pinnacle of an acting career. The character I want to play is the character of someone abnormal.

Q: In your opinion, how has the representation of LGBTQ characters evolved in Thai media over the years?

Judo: Talking about acting, there aren't many changes, significantly. The new roles might be added, such as the characters in the series who have grown up more, because in the past, the characters in BL series were mostly set on university campuses and focused on young generations. But now, it expanded to the salaryman's society; they are getting older, which is much different from the past. I saw it as the growth of the characters in BL series that has changed nowadays.

Q: What challenges do you think still exist in achieving authentic representation of diverse communities on screen?

Judo: I think the LGBTQ market still has a lot of potential, and Thailand is one of the top countries for exporting LGBTQ series and movies to the world audience. I believed that Thailand still has many qualified scriptwriters, actors and staff who can create good works and make it different from the past. It is a new challenge for us to break the rules of making LGBTQ series or movies. But I can assure you that it is definitely happening because I saw the companies' upcoming projects lineup, some quite new. It's a new challenge for the Thai film industry.

Q: What message do you hope to convey to your audience through your work and public engagements?

Judo: Please watch Thai series or Thai movies. Everyone is working hard to create good works. I would like everyone to support both Thai series and movies.

Q: How do you feel about working at FILMART 2025 in Hong Kong this time?

Judo: It was so much fun. We came to FILMART, an event that brings all film and series makers, production teams, and distributors together. It was fun, but we are working seriously. I’m glad that Waga Creative's series “Make A Wish” and “Lost on The River: The Series” are coming soon. We are trying to sell them to distributor companies so that they will be aired outside Thailand and Japan and expand to many countries. 

Recently, we just signed a contract with a company that will air "Make A Wish" in the Americas, both North America and Latin America, to make our series widely known. I’d like people around the world to watch it and get more fans from many countries. I'm glad to be able to join this event.
