Jimmy Jitaraphol Potiwihok

If you watched Bad Buddy in 2021, you have already met Jimmy: he played Wai in that popular series, and that is where I first spotted him. Jitaraphol Potiwihok (จิตรพล โพธิวิหค), nicknamed Jimmy (จิมมี่), is a Thai actor with GMMTV, born on 21 August 1994. And yes, he is also a licensed medical doctor.

He finished secondary school at Assumption College in Bangkok, then studied at the Faculty of Medicine of Chiang Mai University, where he earned his Doctor of Medicine degree. He completed an internship in Switzerland, and in 2026 he received a Master of Medical Science in Cosmetic Dermatology from Thammasat University. Uff, the dedication.

Before acting he took part in the CLEO 50 Most Eligible Bachelors contest in 2018. In 2020 he appeared as a guest on Doctor, I’ll Take Care of You, a show on the Atimeonline YouTube channel.

After Wai he played Sun in Enchanté (2022). His first main role came that same year in the romantic fantasy Vice Versa, where he played Puen and Tun opposite Sea Tawinan Anukoolprasert. The two returned as Puen and Talay in Our Skyy 2 in 2023.

Later in 2023 he starred as Mhok in Last Twilight, again with Sea as Day, and this was the series that made his name far better known. He went on to play Mek Noppatee in Ploy’s Yearbook (2024) and a captain in Sweet Tooth, Good Dentist (2025). My Magic Prophecy (2025) gave him the lead role of Thap Thapfah Kittiphokhin, his third lead pairing with Sea. In 2026 he made a guest appearance as himself in Peach and Me.

He and Sea received the Culture and Entertainment award at the Thailand Headlines Person of the Year Awards, and Jimmy was named Best BL Actor of the Year at The Viral Hits Awards 2025.

His next lead is I Will Always Save You (โปรดอยู่ในความคุ้มครองของป้องปืน), directed by Jojo Tichakorn Phukhaotong for GMMTV. Jimmy plays Lieutenant Pongpuen, the officer assigned to protect a musician named Pepper after Pepper witnesses a murder committed by the son of an influential politician. Pepper is placed in witness protection, and the two already share a complicated history that involves Pongpuen’s ex. Sea plays Pepper, and Dunk Natachai Boonprasert appears as Komcharn Yuyangyuen.
