Vann Vannak

Biography

Vann Vannak was a popular actor in Cambodia during the 1960's and 1970's. Despite his talents, producers usually favored casting his rivals Kon Samoeun or Chea Yuthorn in their movies. Due to their lack of support, Vann Vannak starred in considerably fewer films when compared to his rivals. To increase his presence in the industry he created his own production company known as Pisnoka in 1970 which made eight films casting himself as the male lead in all of them. Details of his life are relatively unknown and he is believed to have died under the Khmer Rouge regime. Of all the films he has starred in, only Sovann Pancha (1970) is known to have survived and remained intact.
