Tuấn Trần

Tuấn Trần's screen career started on television. His first credited acting work came with the TV series *That Lavender Season* in 2014 — a modest entry point, the kind of early-career role that doesn't immediately suggest where things are headed. Two years later, in 2016, he appeared in Hari Won's music video *Anh Cu Di Di*, which gave him broader visibility at a moment when Vietnamese pop culture and film were increasingly overlapping audiences. The film work came steadily after that. *Family Curse* in 2017, *Xuong 13* in 2018, *Drama Queen* in 2020 — a run of projects that kept him working and building range, even if none of them cracked the mainstream the way his later work would. Then came *Bo Gia*. Director Tran Thanh's decision to elevate Tuấn Trần from a supporting role to the film's lead is the kind of pivot that, in retrospect, looks obvious — but wasn't at the time. The film adaptation grossed over 400 billion VND (vietnam.vn), and Tuấn Trần's performance earned him Best Actor at the 22nd Vietnam Film Festival in 2021. That's the moment his career split into before and after. Since then, he's stayed in the commercial mainstream. *Dat rung phuong Nam* (2023) was a significant project — it finished as the third highest-grossing Vietnamese film of 2023 with 140 billion VND at the box office. And *Mai* (2024), in which he plays Trung Duong, continued his presence in the kind of wide-release Vietnamese cinema that actually moves ticket sales. His IMDb credits span both the nm0870917 and nm9215739 profiles, which suggests some cataloguing inconsistency worth noting for researchers tracking his full filmography.
