Nopachai Chaiyanam's earliest credits go back to the 1990s. Throughout the past couple of decades, he's starred in a wide array of films and television series, including 2009's "Nymph" and the "King Naresuan" series. However, one of his most popular films known worldwide is 2011's "Headshot." Chaiyanam plays the lead role of Tul, a cop-turned-hitman who suffers a bullet wound to the head, thereby inverting his vision so that he sees everything upside-down. The film became Thailand's submission for best foreign language film at that year's Oscars, but it failed to make the shortlist.
Numerous other credits have materialized for Chaiyanam over the years. Some of his most recent roles include the TV movie "Still Missing," the movie "Anatomy of Time," and the miniseries "Hurts Like Hell." In addition to a couple of dozen acting credits, Chaiyanam also has experience behind the camera as a director, such as the 2021 action movie "The Secret Weapon."
With "Hunger" now on Netflix, Chaiyanam's talents can be introduced to a whole new audience, who may be enticed to see what else he's done before.
