I’ve never really cared if Por moved to Ch3 or not. Personally, I think every actor should be a free agent and they should audition for their parts in lakorns instead of having it being given to them. Competition can be a good thing, it can weed out the crappy actors from the talented ones. And I hate the whole typecasting of servants and second leads and first leads. They need to change things around and give us variety. I see some second lead actors who should be given the lead role. Or servant actors who should be upgraded to the second lead role. If Poo Praiya was made to audition for her parts, we wouldn’t have to see her in lakorns unless she slept with the casting director. Now that is another story.
Por Natthawut has made his decision sorta, when his contract ends, he will give us his final decision to continue with Ch7 or move to Ch3 or be a free agent. He has confirm though, he is leaving his his variety show with Kob Suwanan, “Jan Pan Dao” on Ch7. Mostly likely, Por will be a free agent because he wants to work with different people and different channels.
About the show:
“Right now, there is an 80 percent chance I will not do it. Like I have said before, we talked about it and concluded that it would be better if we stopped now, because I have had to divide my time outdoors more now. So I asked Kob, can we stop for awhile. But since the whole contract issue came up, I decided to end it. The thing is I don’t know if Kob wants a child or not. How it will turn out, do follow up on it.”
About being a free agent:
“I want to be a freelancer because I have been working here for 10 years.You have to give me the opportunity to work in a new place. I want to learn, I want to meet new people. To ask if I’m wrong. Or vile. I would say it’s not like that. You have to give me opportunity to find new things to entertain the public.”
—That’s all I want as a lakorn watcher, I want to be entertain, I don’t care about channels, though some Thai people do. There are Ch7 fans who refuse to watch Ch3 lakorns. It’s crazy. It’s divided. I find it funny that they argue about it too. It’s not just international fans who are divided about channels. Some hate Ch7, some hate Ch3. Me, if it is entertaining, I watch it.
Por also said this about his desire to try new things. He compared himself to a chef who is looking for a new recipe to entice his customers.
“Whatever path I take, I must have work that is various, like preparing food. I been a chef like this for 10 years. I have to go find new recipes for my menu to serve to the consumer, am I right? Otherwise, I’m working backwards, back down the canal. For that reason, I have to find new experiences, which includes finding new work for the viewers to watch. Whatever happens, please follow up on it.”
