Favourite BL actors and performers
A short explanation about this list: "actors" can actually act - either because of their education, training, skill, talent or a combination of those - while "performers" are those who deliver lines, but can't be considered actors. I arranged them according to how much I like them - because of their work, personality (or what I think it is like), looks and what they do outside of work.

War Wanarat Ratsameerat
Thai
1. [Actor] Multitalented, stealing the show every time he's in the frame, perfectly capable of outperforming entire casts, War allows only one person to take the spotlight instead of him - that person is Yin. Long considered one of the better actual actors in Thai BL industry, in "Jack & Joker" War showed just how powerful he is. Best actor on the marked and a decent singer - deserves the No. 1 spot on my list.

Mix Sahaphap Wongratch
Thai
2. [Actor] From humble beginnings to GMMTV's finest: Mix landed his debut role in ATOTS having no acting experience nor education, but quickly showed his skill. His performance in "Moonlight Chicken" - confident and professional - was his best so far. This guy can carry a show alone - and he already did.

Yin Anan Wong
Thai
3. [Actor] Top tier and - as "Jack & Joker" showed - getting better, expanding his range. Special abilities: shines bright when on his own, shines brighter when paired with War.

Mark Pakin Kunaanuwit
Thai
4. [Actor] Probably the most versatile BL actor in Thailand save for War, Mark succesfully portrayed a wide range of characters in several GMMTV productions and deserves particular praise for his performances in "My School President", "Only Friends" and "High School Frenemy".

Nanon Korapat Kirdpan
Thai
5. [Actor] With BL credits limited to one show and one special, Nanon earned his spot here with a great performance as Pran - withdrawn and hesitant, mature and vulnerable, harbouring an inner strength greater than his on-screen boyfriend. Takes some skill to present a complex and relatable character in 12 episodes of a not-so-fluffy rom-com. Also, he sings really well.

Dunk Natachai Boonprasert
Thai
20. [Performer] Cute, handsome, hot - but his delivery is so dreadful that it's not even funny. Still, he has great off screen chemistry with Joong, is very likeable and seems to maintain good relations with actors and performers from the industry, including plenty of those who are not in GMMTV's employ.

Sea Dechchart Tasilp
Thai
21. [Performer] More of a performer than an actor, he nevertheless made a good impression in "Only Boo!" Waiting for more of his work to see whether he improves.

Joong Archen Aydin
Thai
22. [Actor] Decent acting, great looks, his voice is okay - but my soft spot for him comes from the great chemistry he and Dunk have off screen. Would be higher on the list, but there was that one response he gave to a fan's question on whether he's gay; "no, I'm normal" he replied. He apologized, but such things are not easily forgotten.
