About

Nadech Kugimiya was born on December 17, 1991 in Khonkaen, Thailand. He is Thai and Austrian descent. He is the adopted child of Yoshio Kugimiya (his adoptive father) and Sudarat Kugimiya (his adoptive mother - also his biological aunt). His biological father is Austrian and his biological mother is Thai. His nickname "Barry" comes from his original nickname "Brand". He graduated from Rangsit University, Thailand with Bachelor Degree of Communication Arts, major in Film and Video. He is currently continuing his Master's degree.

He says he didn't mean to deceive anyone when he falsely portrayed himself as half Thai, half Japanese. Declaring he was unworried by the resulting fuss, he said that far from deceiving fans for his own sake, he really did it for his parents. "My foster father is Japanese. I told everyone I am half Thai, half Japanese to honour him," he said. He denied he felt stressed to be exposed as Thai-Austrian. "I meant to tell people, but the time had not yet arrived," he said.

He started off his career as a model at the age of 17 by doing catwalk, photo shoots and commercials. He made his feature drama debut in a leading role in Ngao Rak Luang Jai as "Nawa Gamtornpuwanat" in 2010. He gained immense popularity after he starred in Duang Jai Akkanee or Akkanee's Heart as "Fai Akkanee Adisuan" and Game Rai Game Rak or Love Game Evil Game as "Saichon / Charles Makovich" alongside Urassaya Sperbund. He is also a member of the group called 4+1 Channel 3 Superstar with Mario Maurer, Prin Suparat, Boy Pakorn Chatborirak, and Ken Phupoom Pongpanu. He has an exclusive contract with Channel 3, Thailand. His manager is Suphachai Sriwichit.

As of 2018, he is currently #1 highest paid actor in Thailand as well as the “King of Presenters” by having a lot of endorsements and almost 130 advertisements after working for 8 years. He is also a one of the top actors in Thailand who have won the most awards - currently 173 awards, the highest figure in the history of Thailand entertainment industry.
