BIOGRAPHY

Build Jakapan Puttha (Thai: บิว จักรพันธ์ พุทธา; born June 4, 1994) is a Thai actor and graphic designer. He is best known internationally for playing Pete Phongsakorn Saengtham in KinnPorsche (2022), a role he took on after four television credits between 2017 and 2021.

He was born in Saraburi, a province in central Thailand north-east of Bangkok, and graduated from Bangkok University’s Faculty of Communication Arts. He keeps a parallel practice as a graphic designer alongside acting.

His screen debut came in 2017 in the lakorn Yeua Payabaat, where he played Danai across thirty episodes. He followed it with Pink Sin in 2018, a twenty-four-episode drama in which he played Katha, and appeared as himself on Sound Check in 2021. That same year he took the role of Oak, a DJ and the main character’s best friend, in Praomook, a fifteen-episode series in which Sakul Kanyaphak Pongsak also appears.

KinnPorsche gave him Pete, one of Kinn’s bodyguards, and a storyline opposite Vegas that runs the full fourteen episodes. In 2024 he played Jake in the eight-episode series Infinity.

KinnPorsche aired on One 31 from 2 April to 9 July 2022. Be On Cloud produced it, and Kongkiat Komesiri, Krisda Witthayakhajorndet and Banchorn Vorasataree shared the directing. Pete works alongside Mile Phakphum Romsaithong as Kinn, Apo Nattawin Wattanagitiphat as Porsche, Jeff Satur as Kim, Barcode Tinnasit Isarapongporn as Porchay and Tong Thanayut Thakoonauttaya as Tankhun.

The episode counts of his scripted roles step down with each project: thirty for Yeua Payabaat, twenty-four for Pink Sin, fifteen for Praomook, fourteen for KinnPorsche and eight for Infinity. His career has moved from long lakorn runs toward the shorter series format, and his best-known role sits in the middle of that shift.

He announced his departure from Be On Cloud at a press conference on January 28, 2023, and set up his own company that April. He has been self-managed since.

Two words: Pete and Vegas. Build is the man behind Pete Phongsakorn Saengtham in KinnPorsche (2022), one of Kinn’s bodyguards, whose storyline opposite Bible Wichapas Sumettikul’s Vegas runs across all fourteen episodes. The pairing even has its own name from the two characters, VegasPete.

He is great to watch for if you love an actor who learned his craft in long-form drama. Before Pete he spent thirty episodes as Danai in the lakorn Yeua Payabaat (2017), twenty-four as Katha in Pink Sin (2018), and fifteen as Oak, a DJ and the main character’s best friend, in Praomook (2021). That is a lot of practice at keeping a character going, and Pete gets the benefit.

Start here: KinnPorsche, obviously, with Mile Phakphum Romsaithong as Kinn, Apo Nattawin Wattanagitiphat as Porsche, Jeff Satur as Kim, Barcode Tinnasit Isarapongporn as Porchay and Tong Thanayut Thakoonauttaya as Tankhun around him. Then try Infinity (2024), an eight-episode series where he plays Jake, for something shorter.

Bonus fact for the creatives: he is also a graphic designer, working alongside his acting, and since April 2023 he has run his own company. Actor, designer and his own boss: talk about a full schedule.
