anything is anything

Rules: Just a fun chill way to see people’s different tastes. Fill in your QL actors answers to as many (or as few) of the these superlatives as you like. Tag 5 friends to see theirs.

tagged by @moutheyes (here). thank you for tagging me 10,000 years ago! 💜😭 sorry it took me so long >_< (btw we're going to have some overlap lol.)

Your number 1 bias: I don't...actually have one 😶 First Kanaphan has done really well in a number of roles and I'm likely to give any series he's in a watch. that's probably the closest thing I have to a #1 bias lol.

Fav supporting actor: right now, it might be Fluke Nattanon. I feel unreasonably happy when I see him on screen these days lol.

Delivers in everything you’ve seen them in: tis Junior Panachai. man has range and I can't with him these days. he's an actor who can make me laugh and cry. (always a plus in my book.) also, I feel like there's this depth to his characters that I'm consistently seeing, and it feels like it's something he's probably intentionally doing as an actor (versus being given/directed to do).

Surprised you with a performance: Pond Naravit as Thee. (I told you there'd be overlap! but the thing is) I was so surprised at his performance in Me and Thee! like, I've felt kind of lukewarm about Pond's acting but Me and Thee didn't just highlight his strengths. I feel like that was also the most immersed and committed to a role I've ever seen him.

Has yet to meet their potential: this might be Perth Tanapon for me. I've seen him do some really great scenes and I've enjoyed his acting in multiple series. but, personally, I feel like I haven't seen him deliver this like sustained emotional depth for a character. part of it could be that I haven't seen him in a role that he does this in (or gives him the opportunity, or maybe it's just my interpretation), but I do think part of it has to do with having that bit of room to grow as an actor. I just feel like I've never seen him immersed in a main lead role but he would/does have the capacity.

Needs a role to match their talents: oh, Mark Pakin. I am specifically talking about a main lead role btw. I've loved his performances as multiple support characters so much that it really bummed me out when I didn't enjoy Sweet Tooth, Good Dentist. but I feel like part of why I didn't enjoy him in that role could be due to the character he was casted as. like, no matter how good of an actor someone is, if the role isn't a good fit then it isn't a good fit. and I'm just waiting for the day when I can see him tear up the set with a main role he can sink his teeth into.

Like their acting but not so much the celebrity: um, I live under a rock so this is pretty N/A for me lmao.

Like the celebrity but not so much the acting: Prem Warut, my beloved. as much as I loved him as Team in Between Us (and his support role in My Only 12%) I have not been able to get through his other series 😭 I think Prem does have potential as an actor, but he's also an actor who needs more support + time to fully connect with a role imo. (this doesn't fall under the 'has yet to meet their potential' category for me though. for me, that category is for someone who is quite skilled as an actor and could be even better.)

Would be fun to see them in different partnerships: "all of them, really, but especially the CPs whose onscreen energy doesn't fully work for me." < echoing @moutheyes. my top picks would be MarkOhm and OffGun.

The partnership elevates them: SeaKeen. (I feel like the meaning of this category can be up to interpretation so to clarify, what I mean is) I think their partnership makes them better; I think they've helped each other grow as actors/performers and their influence on each other has helped them both in their development. so in this way, their partnership elevates them.

Overrated: (for the sake of trying to decrease overlap, I'll go with) OffGun.

Underrated: Java Bhobdhama. (again, I live under a rock so maybe he's not underrated and I just haven't seen the posts about him? but) I feel like I didn't see enough gifs of his heavier muteluv scenes or posts talking about them. delivering emotional depth in a shorter series takes work and I absolutely give him props.

Fav new face on the block: Keng Harit. um, I was not prepared lmao. I randomly decided to start watching Khemjira and suddenly had to deal with his acting chops wth lol.

Fav old gen or, as I like to call them, Q-Lder: Pompam Niti. I am always delighted to see him. someone pls give me a ql about older queers with him as the main lead. (imagine him in a wyeyd-esque show. he could give Kenji, okay?) but also, I might be misunderstanding the assignment with that answer? if this question about fav actor from older qls, then it's probably Tay Tawan or Singto Prachaya.
