Zee Pruk Panich

As a kid in Chiang Rai, Zee wanted to be a flight attendant or an actor. In Passenger Seat Number X he gets the plane and the acting at once, only from the top seat: he plays Pat, the new CEO of Silver Lining Air. Pruk Panich (พฤกษ์ พานิช), nicknamed Zee (ซี), was born on 10 September 1992 in Chiang Rai, Thailand. After high school in his hometown he moved to Bangkok and majored in Advertising at the Faculty of Communication Arts of Bangkok University. He works with Domundi and also releases music under DMD Music.

His way into the business came through a friend, Max Kornthas Rujeerattanavorapan, who brought him in as one of the hosts of the Domundi travel program on YouTube. In December 2018 he appeared in the film Sugar Café as Popeye. His first lead came as Fighter in Why R U?, cast in 2019 and broadcast in 2020, and it earned him Rising Actor of the Year at the Kazz Awards in 2021.

The big turn was Cutie Pie in 2022. Zee played businessman Lian Kilen Wang opposite Chawarin Perdpiriyawong (NuNew), and the BL series made both of them famous in Thailand and abroad. Howe Magazine put him on its list of the 50 most influential people of the year. The role brought him Y Actor of the Year at the Feed Y Capital Awards, Best Actor of the Year at the Kazz Awards, Actor of the Year at the Sudsapda Y Awards, Youth Favorite Actor at Thailand Master Youth and Best Lead Actor at the YUniverse Awards. He returned as Lian in Cutie Pie 2 You and the spin off Naughty Babe in 2023.

That same year he led the film After Sundown as Phloeng and the series One Night Stand as Toy and Spice and Spell as Thos. In 2025 he played the royal guard Charan in The Next Prince and San in the Netflix series Zomvivor. In 2026 he plays Thee in a supporting role in Mr. Fanboy and Dollar in the Domundi sitcom The D Dorm on One 31.

Two more projects with NuNew are on the way. In Passenger Seat Number X, adapted from a novel by Double moons, Pat boards a flight where Song, his former love, works as cabin crew. In Hug E-Lhee The Musical Zee plays Chang. Away from the camera he started the snack brand ZeeFruit on 1 September 2022 and the clothing brand Super Sun on 8 August 2023, and his solo singles include “Nobody” (2022), “Super Secret” (2024) and “Breaking Heart Station” (2025).
