Actor Tran Nghia:

Tran Nghia began his acting career with several supporting roles in television dramas. However, it wasn't until his encounter with director Victor Vu on the film project "Mat Biec" (Blue Eyes) that Nghia's name became widely known to the public and was recognized by professionals as a promising talent. Recently, Tran Nghia's portrayal of Nguyen in the long-running television series "My Father, the One Who Stays Behind" left a positive impression on viewers.

- Congratulations to Tran Nghia on his role as Nguyen in the TV series "My Father, the One Who Stayed Behind," currently airing on VTV3. It's clear that this is a very complex and emotionally evolving role for the character Nguyen. Could you share something about the filming process?

- This role was a real challenge for me. While audiences were delighted by Nhân's naivety in "Balanha Inn" (2020) and disliked Tùng in "Our 8 Years Later" (2023), Nguyên is a character with a deeply complex and broken heart. I constantly wondered how I, having never experienced that kind of life, could portray the pain, suffocation, and inner conflict of such a character. Therefore, I adopted a more mature, calm, and composed demeanor compared to the character Việt, who is the same age. Although some viewers reacted by saying I looked "old" in the literal sense and that I wasn't suitable for playing a high school student, I felt it suited the character's circumstances. And luckily, I received the approval of director Vũ Trường Khoa, a very excellent and insightful director!

- With his refined, calm, and gentle face, Tran Nghia plays Nguyen, a high school student with a complex inner life, constantly struggling with his family and kinship relationships. How does he feel about this role?

- The role of Nguyên evoked many emotions in me. He's a high school student, but his inner world is far more complex than his age suggests. His family conflicts, familial affection, and internal struggles made me feel this character was very profound and worth exploring. With my somewhat quiet and calm demeanor, audiences might find me well-suited to such emotionally complex roles. But that's precisely why I didn't want to play in a cliché. I tried to portray maturity while still retaining the impulsiveness and naivety of an 18-year-old student. Playing Nguyên, I felt like I was living through the most genuine emotions of youth – sometimes strong, sometimes weak, sometimes angry, but also sometimes just longing for love. I hope that the audience will feel my sincerity in every scene.

- From your leading roles in the films "Blue Eyes" and "The Most Beautiful Summer" to your recent roles, how do you see yourself changing?

- After "Blue Eyes" and "The Most Beautiful Summer," I've always tried not to be typecast into a single image. If Ngạn in "Blue Eyes" was a lovesick, quiet, and somewhat resigned young man, then Tuấn Anh in "The Most Beautiful Summer" brings a different energy - more mature, but still maintaining sincerity in his feelings. Lately, I've been trying out more diverse roles, typically in "Our 8 Years Later," where my character is somewhat quirky and talkative, quite different from my previous roles, or the character Long in "Investigation Team No. 7" - where I become a robber when cornered. This helps me further hone my acting skills, break out of my comfort zone, and learn how to reinvent myself. I'm not afraid of being typecast, because for me, acting is a journey of discovery . Each role is a piece of my career, and I look forward to continuing to challenge myself with new and more diverse characters in the future.

- What kinds of roles do you hope to try in the future?

- I've always wanted to challenge myself with roles that are different in character, perhaps a edgy, deeply wounded character, or a villain with complex psychological depth. I want to try playing imperfect characters, those with flaws, even those that might make the audience dislike me, but who offer authentic perspectives on humanity. Additionally, I'd like to try roles with a more humorous and positive energy, because I know the audience is used to seeing me in quiet, introspective roles. If given the opportunity, I'd like to participate in an action film or a thriller – that would be a big challenge, but also a chance for me to break away from my previous image. Most importantly, I want each of my roles to have its own unique mark, whether I'm a protagonist or antagonist, kind or edgy. I don't want to confine myself to one type of character; I'm always ready to reinvent myself to bring surprises to the audience.

- After the film "My Father, the One Who Stayed Behind," what are your plans?

- After completing my role as Nguyen in "My Father, the One Who Stayed Behind," I've had some time to rest and think about my next projects. Currently, I'm considering several new scripts with diverse roles, ranging from characters with psychological depth to more challenging action roles. However, to ensure quality and surprise for the audience, I'd like to keep the specific projects a secret for now. Once everything is clear, I will share more details. I look forward to your support and anticipation.

Thank you for sharing!
