Now working as a veteran actor, director, screen writer, and producer of Thai TV dramas, Sarunyoo reached his peak as Thailand's top actor during 80s–90s, best known for his various hughly successful TV drama roles, including Gao Ee Kao Nai Hong Dang (1984), Massaya (1985), Baan Sai Thong (1987), Jaosao Kong Arnon (1988), Rattikarn Yod Rak (1989), Wanalee (1990), Roymarn (1990), Wanida (1991), Tawipop (1992), Mon Rak Look Thoong (1995), Duay Rang Atittarn (1996) and Nai Hoy Tamil (2001).
Sarunyoo has acted in more than 50 TV dramas, 20 films, and 20 stage plays, including legendary Mon Rak Look Thoong which became the 3rd most-watched TV drama of all time in Thailand with viewership rating of 36%.[1] He won a Mekhala Award for Best Actor for his role in Tawipop.
Under Saman Karn Lakorn company, Sarunyoo directed, screen-wrote and produced a stage play named Langkha Daeng[2] and TV dramas for Channel 7 including Suparb Buroot Look Puchai (2003 & 2013), Hua Jai Tuan (2014), Roy Rak Rang Kaen (2015), and Ballang Hong (2016).
Early life
Sarunyoo was born in Kradangnga, Bang Khonthi, Samut Songkhram, Thailand. His 4 siblings include singer Thaneth Warakulnukroh but Sarunyoo was adopted by his own aunt whose surname he has been using ever since.
Sarunyoo completed his high school at Suankularb Wittayalai School Batch 92[3] and graduated with a bachelor's degree in Architecture from Chulalongkorn University.[4] He didn't pursue his architect career as later telling BK in an interview that "The architecture faculty's acting club introduced me to what ultimately became the biggest part of my college life. After my third year, I knew that I didn't want to be an architect."[5]
During his college years, Sarunyoo took many leading roles in "Lakorn 'Tapat" or Faculty of Architecture Stage plays and some stage plays of Faculty of Arts as well.[6][7] Not only with his acting talents, his promising good looks also attracted many fangirls and "Lakorn 'Tapat" became the must-sees of the era among high school & college students and urban-resident workers. As a stage play actor and a rugby player, Sarunyoo consequently became a college star.
Career
His first public appearance in Thailand's entertainment scene might be as a 'famous' pin-up in an issue of "Dichan" magazine, Sarunyoo posed for many magazines during his early career. After graduation, Sarunyoo did many TV dramas, films, stage plays and he sang a lot of drama songs. Besides, he also joined his seniors from the Faculty of Architecture in a cult TV comedy show called "Petchakart Kwarm Kriad" televised on Channel 9.
Sarunyoo's TV drama debut was Kao Ee Kao Nai Hong Dang on Channel 3. Only that he looked very young in the TV drama of teen problems, Sarunyoo showed his superb acting skills that you wouldn't think he was just a television newbie.
