Dom Hetrakul Movies

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. ~ Nathan Southern, Rovi

When Fernando De Gama (Gary Stretch)'s was just a young boy, his father was slain by a stealthy assassin. Now Fernando has grown into a feared mercenary, and he has set his sights on the Orient in an effort to seek out his father's killer. After the ship he is sailing on capsizes and Fernando washes ashore on a tropical island, he is captured by Arabs, transported to the Thai kingdom of Ayutthaya, and sold into slavery. Despite the grim turn in his quest, fate seems to smile upon Fernando when the ravishing Maria purchases him from the Arabs and subsequently restores his freedom.

When a Northern renegade pretender summons the wrath of the King of Siam and the nation is plunged into war, Fernando is reluctantly pressed into military service.
