Ananda Matthew Everingham is an Australian-Lao actor and producer born in Bangkok, Thailand. He attended Bangkok Patana School, Thailand's oldest British international school, and never learned to read Thai. He also received some schooling in Brisbane, Australia while living with his grandparents. Everingham is the son of a Lao mother, Keo Sirisomphone and an Australian father, Bangkok-based photojournalist John Everingham. His parents' story was loosely dramatized in the 1983 NBC television film "Love Is Forever" starring Michael Landon and Laura Gemser, which tells of a photojournalist who scuba dives under the Mekong River to rescue his lover from communist ruled Laos in 1977. At age fourteen, while working part-time in his family's Indian restaurant, Himali Cha Cha, he was discovered by Mingkwan Sangsuwan of GMM Grammy, Thailand's largest entertainment company. He soon started acting in films. At sixteen, he switched from Bangkok Patana School to a tutoring school where he would follow flexible course and times while filming. Ananda is also the creative director of his own media arts and event company, Halo Productions, that has produced the critically acclaimed “Good Morning Luang Prabarng”, the first privately funded Lao film in over 35 years.
