Bront Palarae wins Best Supporting Actor in Thailand
13 May - Bront Palarae proves that he is more than just a Malaysian actor by winning Best Supporting Actor at the 21st Baannang Klang Lakorn Awards in Thailand.
The actor shared the good news on social media on 11 May, saying, "Praise be to God! Acting in a Thai film felt like a distant dream. And now, this recognition is beyond crazy."
Winning the award for his performance in the horror film, "The Cursed Land", Bront thanked his team, writing, "Special thanks to Panu Aree and Kong Rithdee for the invitation, and to Nonzee Nimibutr (Creative Producer), Chankit (Cinematographer), and Suraphi (First AD) for your patience and unwavering support."
"Sharing the screen with talented actors like Ananda Mathew Everingham, Jennis, the late Sida Puapimon, and the Malay duo (Han Zalini & Firdaus Karim) has been an unforgettable experience. I hope that one day Thai cinema will tell more stories about the little voices and rich histories of the Malay community in the south. Stories that deserve to be heard and celebrated," he added.
The 2024 movie, which is streaming on Netflix, has Bront playing the role of Heem, a mysterious man living in the Muslim-majority suburb of Nong Chok, Bangkok.
