Khunnote Jirapat Uttamanan
BIOGRAPHY
Khunnote Jirapat Uttamanan (Thai: ขุนโน้ต จิรภัทร อุตมานันทน์; born September 30, 1984) is a Thai actor working mainly in film. He plays Kajorn Piyawanichkul across all ten episodes of the 2026 revenge thriller Payback, one of the figures holding a piece of what happened five years before the story opens.
His earliest dated credit is from 2022, and it came with four productions in twelve months: the comedy Fast & Feel Love as a bank teller, the horror The Beast Below as Fon’s father, an episode of School Tales the Series as a photographer, and Alone in Outing as Chok.
Film work across genres has continued since. Bad Boyz Band and Back to Heaven followed in 2023, the latter as Boat, alongside the television series Get Rich, in which he played Instructor Jak across sixteen episodes. In 2024 he appeared in The Package as Ham, in YAKKU as เหมันต์, and in Caged Again as Son over ten episodes. Paws of Fate (2025) cast him as a Grim Reaper and The White Rabbit (2026) as Bird. He also appears in She Comes at Night.
In 2026 he had two further television appearances alongside Payback: My Heartbeat as James and The Rules, both single-episode credits.
Payback follows Sun, a former debt collector who now works as a delivery rider. He learns that his ex-boyfriend Bank has become an actor under the name Sunny, and he enters the entertainment industry to take revenge, where Jay, a senior director at Dream Entertainment, joins his plan. Kajorn is part of that industry world around Sunny. The series aired for ten episodes on One 31 from May 30 to August 1, 2026, with iQIYI carrying it internationally. Khunnote was forty-one while it aired, and Woodie Pongchaiphat Sethanand directs.
Khunnote Jirapat Uttamanan had three television credits in 2026, and Payback carries the most episodes.
He plays Kajorn across all ten episodes of Payback, while My Heartbeat as James and The Rules are single-episode credits.
Before Payback, his longest television part was Instructor Jak in Get Rich (2023) across sixteen episodes, followed by Son in Caged Again (2024) across ten.
To my eye, Khunnote is an actor who arrived with a full slate. Four productions in his first twelve months on screen point to an actor who was ready to work, and the range from a bank teller to a photographer to a Grim Reaper backs that up. What stayed with me is how many of his parts have an occupation attached, so each one comes with a built-in way of carrying himself. I would begin with Get Rich for a long television part, then Paws of Fate for the most unusual casting, then Payback.
