About this archive
Modelling is one of the classic routes into BL and GL casting, so this page is busy. In several markets agencies keep models and actors on the same roster, magazine and ad work gives someone an early public profile, and producers looking for a certain look often cast from that pool.
Once a career takes off, it flows both ways. Actors who get known through a series are signed for fashion and beauty campaigns, land magazine covers as part of a show’s promotion and get sent to brand events and fashion weeks. For many people here, modelling never stopped when acting began. It just kept running in parallel.
You will find Apo Nattawin, New Thitipoom, Gemini Norawit, Sarocha Chankimha, Rebecca Patricia Armstrong, Eiji Akaso and lots more. My tip: when someone walks into a lead role looking completely at ease in front of the camera, check this credit. There are often years of shoots and campaigns behind that first big drama.
