Pepper Phanuroj Chalermkijporntavee

Pepper Phanuroj Chalermkijporntavee (Thai: ภานุโรจน์ เฉลิมกิจพรทวี; born August 20, 1996) is a Thai actor and model who built his career on the GMMTV roster, where he became one of the studio’s most frequently cast supporting players across its youth drama and Boys’ Love catalogue. He is credited on more than a dozen Thai series and is known internationally for playing Keen in the 2024-2025 GMMTV crime romance The Heart Killers.

Pepper made his screen debut in 2021 as Mesa in the GMMTV romantic anthology I Need Romance, a sixteen-episode production that placed him alongside an established ensemble in his first year on camera. Work came steadily after that: Star and Sky: Star in My Mind (2022) as Typhoon, Vice Versa (2022) as Kita, Good Old Days (2022) as Hua, and a return to the Typhoon role in Our Skyy 2 (2023). The same year he appeared in The Jungle as Kim, in Dangerous Romance as Name, and in the fourteen-episode romantic drama Faceless Love as Manit.

His later work moved him into longer-running formats and larger arcs. He played Beer across all sixteen episodes of We Are (2024) and Newton in the twenty-four-episode comedy Perfect 10 Liners (2024), then joined The Heart Killers as Keen for eight of its twelve episodes. He also appeared as Earn in ThamePo: Heart That Skips a Beat (2024-2025) and as Tin in Duang with You (2026). Across these credits Pepper has specialised in the second-tier ensemble role, the friend, the rival, the colleague, a position that has kept him working continuously in the Thai series industry since his debut.
