I believe that everyone is familiar with this cute Thai actor and model, famous for his baby face and pretty features. To be honest, I'm not sure when was the first time I spotted him, but I think I was influenced by the powerful fangirling on the net and slowly but surely I discovered his films etc, and that was my doom. If you happen to be one of those who haven't heard of him, then let me introduce you, just sit back and enjoy ;)

FILMS
2007 - The Love of Siam
The famous film about two gay boys and cute scenes of friendship and love. You will melt while watching it and trust me, it will be worth it! Mario said that many people asked him after the shooting whether he was gay, but he replied that he was not (sorry, yaoi lovers :p). He was also very nervous because it was his debut film and he never kissed a boy before... Anyway, this is a critically acclaimed film and it won many awards. It is a must!
(oh yes... :D)
(Say cheesse:)
(Is it..?)
2008 - Friendship & 4 Romance
After the success of The Love of Siam he starred in similar kind of films, the romantic ones. Friendship is about the love between a boy and girl, while 4 Romance is a compilation of love stories, and he appears as a supporting character in it.
2009 - Rahtree Reborn & Rahtree's Revenge
These are his first horror/comedy films. Poor Mario, he gets attacked by this ravaging ghost chick :D The covers look hilarious to me, and since they're supposed to be funny too, you can only hope that she doesn't go for his face lol j/k.
2010 - Saranae Siblor, First Love & Eternity
The first one is a road trip/adventure, while the second film is a sleeper hit which was very popular, it is about a nerdy girl who falls for a handsome guy, him of course. Do not get excited about Eternity (I know it's got a hot cover) but he's only a supporting character there, playing some kind of monk. The film is hot nonetheless.
2010 - The Dog & Saranae Hen Phi
The Dog is a hilarious film about a bunch of friends who kidnap a dog but get attacked by a gunman. Mario is wearing hipster glasses but still manages to look hot! The second film is just another horror/comedy since they are very popular in Thailand.
2011 - The Outrage & Bangkok Kung Fu
Mario comes back as a monk in The Outrage and he looks pretty as a baldy too. Bangkok Kung Fu is about a group of orphans who get raised by a kung fu master in order to protect themselves. You can see Mario doing some nice kung fu tricks, even though he is only a supporting character.
2012 - Friends Never Die, Rak Sud TEEN & Love On That Day
This year proved to be very fruitful to Mario because he starred in various films. The first one is about a gang called SPERM (yes, you read it correctly, I'm not kidding you, that's the name) and their friendship, it is actually touching. The second one Rak Sud TEEN is another romantic film, while Love On That Day is his first Chinese film.
2012 - Jan Dara: The Beginning & Suddenly It’s Magic
Jan Dara is a mature film and a nice change after all those romantic films. The film is about lust, sex, revenge and the complete opposite to Suddenly It's Magic which is pure romance.
2013 - Jan Dara: Finale & Pee Mak
Jan Dara 2 is the sequel to the lustful original. It's got even more provocative scenes and you will finally see Mario in action, and I'm not talking about kissing ;) The only problem is that awful mustache that he's sporting in the film, I mean wth?! You cannot put a mustache on that baby face, someone please destroy it!
Pee Mak is, besides The Love of Siam, his best known role because this film is the highest-grossing film in Thailand ever. It even beat the record of Ong Bak. It is another horror comedy (did I tell you that they simply dig these kind of films?) about Mak, a soldier and his wife Nak, a ghost.
DRAMAS
When it comes to dramas, in the span between 2010-2014 he starred in 6 dramas. I guess he wanted to try out this kind of entertainment and he will probably star in many more. Autumn Destiny, Lofty Fire and Madam Dun (from the upper left to right) are all romantic (melo) dramas in which he plays the main character. From the bottom right to left, Love in the Market is another romantic drama, while The Rising Sun 1 and The Rising Sun 2 are historical romantic dramas in which he plays a Japanese guy called Takeshi, however in the sequel he is only a supporting character, and as you can see he doesn't appear on the cover either.
Well this is all for now. I hope you liked it and feel free to continue stalking ;) Until then...
