James Ma Wiki, Age, Biography, Height, Girlfriend, Family, Images, And More
James Assarasakorn (Thai: ; born July 3, 1993), professionally known as James Ma, is a Thai actor and model. In 2013, he made his acting debut as M.R. Ronapee Jutathep in the Gentlemen of Jutathep Series. He is currently employed for Channel 3.
Ma was born in Bangkok, Thailand, to a Thai Chinese father and a Hong Kong Teochew mother. He has an older sister. Ma began his education at NIST International School, but when he was eight years old, his family relocated to Hong Kong, where he resumed his education at Quarry Bay School. He then excelled two years beyond his typical academic year group and attended Hong Kong's South Island School.
Supachai Srivijit, who later became his manager in the entertainment sector, discovered him in late 2011, and Ma returned to Thailand to study at Harrow International School in Bangkok. Assumption University awarded him a bachelor's degree in Arts in Business English and a master's degree in Business Administration in Tourism and Hospitality Management. Ma considered becoming a professional golfer before deciding to become an actor. He won a gold medal in the 2008 ISSFHK Golf Pairs Championship in Hong Kong, as well as other other medals versus other schools. He auditioned for The Star (season 7) in 2008, a Thai reality show and singing competition, but did not make it to the final round.
Career
Ma made his acting debut in 2013 at the age of 20 in the special historical drama Gentlemen of Jutathep Series. To commemorate ThaiTV3's 43rd anniversary, five top producers were tasked with creating a historical drama on the five Jutathep brothers: Khun Chai Taratorn, Khun Chai Pawornruj, Khun Chai Phuttipat, Khun Chai Rachanon, and Khun Chai Ronapee are the names of the chefs. His primary series, Khun Chai Ronapee, is directed by Chatchai Plengpanich and stars Chalida Vijitvongthong as the female lead. This period drama is based on the novel of the same name. Ma was viciously criticised by netizens before the drama aired, who claimed he lacked the looks and talent, but he proved everyone wrong when the drama premiered.
In 2014, Ma featured in the short film Thai Niyom: Prince Pom. He portrays Prince Pom. After his debut, this was his first performance in a short film. Ma appeared at the same year's Give Me 5 Concert alongside Mario Maurer, Sukollawat Kanarot, Nadech Kugimiya, and Phupoom Pongpanu. He had Tata Young and Boy Peacemaker as special guests throughout his concert.
After a two-year break, Ma returned to television in 2015 with the romance action drama The King's Servant, directed by Atthaporn Teemakorn. This story is set during the reign of Rama III, the third king of Siam from the House of Chakri. The plot revolves around the time when Britain (then known as Wilat) forms a trading partnership with Siam. In the series, he was teamed with Peranee Kongthai.
Ma co-starred in Just a Man, Not a Magician with Kimberley Anne Woltemas the same year. This drama is a remake of Ann Thongprasom's 2001 drama Samee Ngern Phon, and it was directed by Kritsada Techanilobon.
Ma made his film debut in late 2015, co-starring with South Korean actress Hahm Eun-jung in the sci-fi romance film Microlove. Sathanapong Limwongthong directed this film. It centres around an outspoken and rich Thai man who works in a Korean software company that develops software privately and catches the attention of the president's daughter.
