Previously, everyone knew me as an action-loving kid, who entered the profession because of his passion for skillful fighting scenes, a fact that has been difficult to change until now; but acting truly has a strong attraction, I’m “addicted” to the feeling of being given my heart and precious time to carve out a role, the intoxicating feeling that when you try it for the first time, you’ll want it once more. So, before appearing on screen and having the audience call me Dang Tran Con, I actually lived as Dang Tran Con.”
