BIOGRAPHY

Karn Kritsanaphan (Thai: กานต์ กฤษณะพันธ์; born 18 February 2000 in Bangkok), known as Jimmy, is a Thai actor signed to Domundi TV, with fourteen credits on record. He studied English at Kasetsart University’s Faculty of Humanities.

His earliest credit is the 2017 programme Watching it in Japan, in which he appears in five episodes under his own nickname. He moved into drama in January 2020 as Saifah across thirteen episodes of Why R U?, and reprised the character that December in the three-episode spin-off Why R U?: SaifahZon Story.

2021 brought Peach in Peach of Time, ten episodes from August, and again in the film version released two months later. He then played Plato across twelve episodes of Remember 15 (February 2022), with single-episode appearances in You Never Eat Alone (2020), Close Friend (2021) and Cutie Pie (2022) in between.

His recent work is longer form: Prince Ramil Bhuchongpisut across fourteen episodes of The Next Prince (May 2025), Pao across seven of Zomvivor (October 2025) and Aiyaret in two episodes of ChermChey (May 2026). He also appears as himself across five episodes of DMD Friendship The Reality and ten of the 2024 Japanese programme Sawatdee Khrap T-Boys!!.

BLGLFlix editorial view

Fourteen credits, and the first is from 2017 rather than the 2020 drama debut he is usually dated from.

The pattern worth naming here is that he does not play a character once. Saifah in Why R U? and then again in SaifahZon Story. Peach in Peach of Time the series and then in Peach of Time the film. Two of his four substantial early roles were extended into a second production, which is a marker of how Thai BL treats a character that has found an audience: it does not end the story, it commissions another one at whatever length the schedule allows, three episodes or a feature.

The second half of his record looks different from the first. Fourteen episodes as a named prince, seven in a zombie series, and paid presenting work in Japan. Whatever else that is, it is not a career confined to one genre, and the assumption that a BL debut fixes an actor in place does not survive contact with this filmography.
