Support actors I'd like to see in main roles
because a friend asked the question and it's easier to link to a list than each of them. definitely a work in progress and i know i've left many out.
several of the women actors don't have much by way of comments because most of the roles i've seen them in have been brief. they deserve more.
GMMTV-orientated because they do the most with ensemble casts.

Papang Phromphiriya Thongputtaruk

One of those actors who can take on any role and disappear into it. Would love to see him as a main character similar to Beam in Moonlight Chicken during the flashbacks to early, happy times.

Prigkhing Sureeyares Yakares

My favourite of the young women actors, especially in a lively role. She's gone to Channel 3 and will have a support role in a GL. I really hope she gets to shine brightly there because she is fantastic.

Our boy has grown up and is well over-due for another substantial role.

Piploy Kanyarat Ruangrung
Tailandês
Her versatility is excellent - I've not recognised her in enough roles I'm tickled when I do.

Fiat Patchata Janngeon

His Rit/Varit was one of the few parts of Triage I liked and then I was impressed with his Korn in The Gifted, didn't realise it was the same actor. He had a quiet intensity in both those roles that drew me in.
The Gifted is structured where most of the characters have a focus episode. He carried his well so he could carry a series too.

Junior Panachai Sriariyarungruang

He has a few main roles listed but they seem to be mostly short anthology series. I haven't watched any of them yet. He showed versatility and skill with comedy in Cherry Magic.

He's left GMMTV for other management. He'll get main roles in non-ensemble series there but from the synopsis of his first one, it doesn't sound like it could possibly equal his work in The Warp Effect or The Shipper. He's proven himself with those, why isn't anyone making more and better use of his skill?

She's fun, always brings a smile, at least the roles I've seen her in.

She could carry a series easily. Solid in The Warp Effect but my favourite of her roles is Praifah in He's Coming to Me. Though that might be because He's Coming to Me is lots of oxytocin and the density of pain in The Warp Effect was difficult.

She had such a pleasant presence in SOTUS, under-used there and subsequently.

Moon in The Broken Us (Thai PBS), small role and mostly over video call but she still drew me into her character. Would love to see her in similar character again but she'll be great in anything. Not sure why but I think she could be a compelling baddie :)

Kik Mayurin Pongpudpunth

She has a very long list of support role credits but I'd like to see her get the focus. She's 48 though so it's unlikely.

Maybe she's getting enough main roles she shouldn't be on here, but I just loved her as best friend Riri in Matalada.
