Dom Hetrakul on AllMovie

Actor Dom Hetrakul specialized in sensationalistic material, placing his heaviest emphasis on the action genre with a frequent presence in martial arts sagas. He signed for one of his earliest roles with a lead in his native Thailand -- that of Lop Lamnaral in Manop Udomdej's blood-soaked crime action saga Beyond Forgivin' (1999). Hetrakul then ushered in a supporting role in Thai director Lek Kitaparaporn's historical epic The King Maker (2005). The actor only rocketed to unbridled international fame, however, with a prominent role opposite Nicolas Cage in the hotly anticipated action thriller Bangkok Dangerous (2008), helmed by Danny Pang and Oxide Pang Chun.
