Favorite Boys Love Actors - Top 30

As the unsure, good guy/bad guy Teh, his performances in "I Told Sunset About You" and "I Promised You the Moon" set a much higher standard for BL actors. Raw, brave, and nothing held back, his acting in the series is feature-film level. 

Perhaps most remarkable is that these shows, and the tenderly nuanced work of the two lead actors, somehow came out of BL-Factory Thailand.

Remarkably talented. His performance in the Thai BL, "Top Form" transcends the cheesy script and the usual tropes and cliches. Boom is naturalistic to a stunning effect. Like all great actors, he inhabits his character rather than "acting" it.

Max is flawless in "Together With Me" and its sequel, "Together With Me: The Next Chapter." He is a masculine, confident sex machine with a killer bod, but his heart is the most beautiful part of his character, Korn.

Max's best work by far is in the second half of the sequel, when Korn crosses a red line almost never crossed in a BL, and leaves the audience with mouths agape, chins on floor. It is in the aftermath of that line-crossing, when Korn's self-flagellation, regret, and devastation as a result of his actions become almost too heartbreaking to watch, that Max moves into level-one BL actor territory. He owns Korn's pain without the slightest false note or hint of over-acting, a flaw common to Thai BLs.

It's icing on the cake that his makeout and sex scenes with his costar Tul, reveal both actors to be one hundred percent committed to their roles and unafraid to behave as their characters would behave, without holding back for the sake of homophobes in the audience.

Bravo!
