Bùi Bài Bình

Biography

Distinguished Artist - People's Artist Bùi Bài Bình (b. 1956, Hanoi) is a Vietnamese actor. Belonging to the second class of the University of Theater and Performing Arts of Hanoi, he began his career with roles that highlight his kind, "peasant-like" appearance; participating in films such as: "The Wall Never Built" (Bức tường không xây), "Married for Love" (Lấy nhau vì tình), "A Godless Sunday" (Ngày Chủ nhật vắng Chúa), etc. Bùi's breakthrough came with "The Guava House" (Mùa ổi, d. Đặng Nhật Minh, 2000). He was cast as Hòa, a mentally challenged middle-aged man whose kindheartedness is both exploited and scorned by society. With this role, he won the Golden Lotus award at the 13th Vietnam Film Festival in 2001. In the following years, Bùi experimented with villainous characters, like Quyết in the series "The Smell of Soil" (Hương đất, d. Quốc Trọng, 2005); Khuếnh in "The Wind of Kinh" (Gió làng Kình, d. Nguyễn Hữu Phần & Bùi Thọ Thịnh, 2008); etc.
