"Pope" Thanawat Wattanaputi is a Thai actor. He received an undergraduate degree in Communication Arts and Design from King Mongkut’s Institute of Technology. Pope worked as a graphic designer prior to pursuing a career in acting, which explains his talent in drawing and passion in teaching arts to students. Pope also teaches children soccer. Shortly after his promising career as a graphic designer, in 2006, Pope decided to audition for a leading role in a drama for Channel 9. He won the audition and immediately started practicing for the role, resigning from his graphic designing career. Two years of hard work and practicing, the project was cancelled. Sometime later, Pope earned a minor casting role in the Legend of King Naresuan and was able to put the horse riding and fighting skills to use. The opportunity to play a leading role finally followed as he is cast for the silver screen in "October Sonata," though the movie did not resonate with the public at the time. Pope was pursued for a role as Nat in the lakorn "Dok Som See Thong," and although he was a supporting actor, his performance was etched in fans’ minds as well as producers alike. He was then signed with Channel 3. Pope's most famous role was in the hit lakorn "Love Destiny," the highest-rated Thai drama of 2018. (Source: Lovefia's Blog; edited by MyDramaList).
