Art Supawatt Purdy

His first acting role was in a feature film called Suea Chon Phan Suea in 1998. He followed this with the leading role in three television mini-series in 1999 called Petch Ta Maeow (Thai: เพชรตาแมว), Sapan Dao (Thai: สะพานดาว) and Peang Kare Jai Rao Rak Gun (Thai: เพียงแค่ใจเรารักกัน).

In 2003, he signed a recording contract with Warner Music Thailand and released his first solo album Art of Love. After the launch of his CD, Purdy quit acting and began performing for Thai fans in cities around the world in many series of concert tours to Japan, USA and Europe.

In 2008, Purdy recorded three new songs, a cover version of a Southern gospel classic and two re-recorded new versions of the songs from his album Art of Love, to be included in the soundtrack of English Director Thomas Clay's film Soi Cowboy. The three new tracks included the theme song Where We'll Never Grow Old (Never Grow Old), an uptempo version of Yaak Euie Wa Ruk (Thai: อยากเอ่ยว่ารัก) and a live-like recording of Yar Ton Eak Leoy (Thai: อย่าทนอีกเลย). At the 61st Cannes film festival, Soi Cowboy was selected for Un Certain Regard Award consideration, and for his effort on the soundtrack, Purdy received the same honor in the music category.

In 2016, after almost 14 years absence from television, Purdy returned to primetime playing a treasure hunter with paranoid schizophrenia in the mini-series Thong Sip directed by Chalong Pakdeevijit. Since then, Purdy acted in all of the mini-series directed by Chalong Pakdeevijit, namely Tulip Thong (2017), Por Ta Peun Toe, Part 2 (2018), Skyraider (2021) and Kan Song Pandin (2023).

In 2019, Purdy reunited with the director who gave him his first leading role in Petch Ta Maeow, Nirattisai Kaljaruek, in the remake of the 1989 controversial mini-series called Sarawat Yai. Based on a true story of a real life Thai policeman, Sarawat Yai marked the first time Purdy has played the role of a leading villain, the corrupted Pol Maj Gen Anek. His performance earned him the Nagaraj Awards for Best Multitalented Actor of the Year (2019).
