About

Nadech Kugimiya was born on December 17, 1991 in Khonkaen, Thailand. He is Thai and Austrian descent. Nadech Kugimiya 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.

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.

At the age of 17, he became a model doing photo shoots and commercials as Trident chewing gum (with Patcharapa Chaichue), Shokubutsu shower cream for Men, Samsung Monte 3G, Nivea For Men, Yamaha Fino, Baoji shoes (with Khemanit Jamikorn), Lays (with Urassaya Sperbund), Mazda, Minute Maid Pulpy and more. In 2010, he made his feature drama debut in a leading role in "Ngaoruk Luangjai" as "Nawa Gamtornpuwanat". Nadech Kugimiya gained immense popularity after his work in the series called drama "4 Hua Jai Haeng Koon Kao" (Duang Jai Akkanee or Akkanee's Heart ) as "Fai Akkanee Adisuan" played with Urassaya Sperbund and (Gamerai Gameruk or Love Game Evil Game ) as "Saichon / Charles Makovich" played with Urassaya Sperbund. He has an exclusive contract with Channel 3, Thailand. His manager is Suphachai Sriwichit.

As of now, 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 one of the top actors in Thailand who received the most awards - currently 131 awards, the highest figure in the history of Thailand entertainment industry.
