Early life
Nay Toe was born on 9 September 1981 to ethnic Rakhine parents, Than Myaing and her husband Aung Than. He is born in Taw Hthu Village in Manaung Township,Cheduba Island.Being the second-born child in the family, Nay Toe has an elder brother as well as a younger brother and a younger sister. His younger brother is also actor.[1] He did not have any connections to the Burmese film industry before starting out his career as a model and eventually as an actor.[2] He graduated from Yangon University with a B.Sc. in Mathematics.
Career
Early Work
To commence his career as an actor, Nay Toe moved to Yangon in 1999 and joined the YIIK modeling agency and took singing lessons given by Saw Nue. He gained some titles in modeling contests. His artist name as a Model was Zin Min. His teenage dream was to become a composer and singer. He eventually released a collaborative album in the early 2000, but it was not a hit album.[3]
In the early days of his career, he started to gain recognition by starring in music videos. At the same time, he was attracted to the art of acting and started to educate himself with what would be needed to become a good actor. However, he did not go to any formal school or training courses to study acting.
By 2001, he starred in a movie named 3 Weeks which was the first film for him to take part in leading actor role.[2] With the continued perseverance and dedication in his creation of art, he has increasingly gained recognition by Burmese audience, from time to time.
From 2007 to Present
Since 2007, Nay Toe has made a name on the stage with Htawara Hninzi (Eternal Rose) Burmese cultural dance show (Anyeint) troupe in which he is one of the supporting comedians along with Tun Tun, Moe Moe, Ye Lay and Kyaw Kyaw Bo. The director of the show is Maung Myo Min. Their shows have been hugely accepted by the resident Burmese audiences as well as Burmese migrants around the globe. Their shows reflect current socio-economic situations.[4]
Since then he has gained fame and recognition as a very outstanding performer not only on the movie screen but also on the stage.
Another remarkable event in 2011 was winning the Academy trophy in Moe Nya Einmet Myu[5] movie as the best leading actor.[6] It was chosen out of 16 films screened in the country in 2009. His role in the movie was said to be intricate as the character he portrayed in the movie was suffering from multiple personality disorder and displayed three different personalities throughout the story.[7]
Other Projects
Television Commercials
Nay Toe has appeared in several television commercials, including those for the Myanmar Airways International, soft drinks, jewellery stores, fashion and sport apparel.
Propaganda Films
Nay Toe has appeared in a propaganda film, Lotus at Dawn. Fundamentally, this movie aims to persuade the Burmese people into believing that the regime is a true savior and protector of the land and the people.[8]
He has been criticized for starring in the film especially by Burma pro-democracy movement groups residing overseas. However, unidentifiable source from Burma film industry reported that the castings had been compelled to play their respective roles in the movie by SPDC, jeopardizing the risk that they might be imposed censorship for at least one year if they ever refused to take part in the film.[9]
Many leading Burmese actors and actress took part in the film such as Kyaw Ye Aung, Lwin Moe, Lu Min, Khant Sithu, Pyay Ti Oo, Soe Myat Thuza, Khaing Thin Kyi, Eindra Kyaw Zin, Moe Hay Ko, Myat Kaythi Aung and Wyne Su Khaing Thein, etc.
Another propaganda film was epic on the Tatmadaw’s (Burmese Army) history called Kye Sin Mawgun (Epic of the Stars) from Thirty Comrades during the independence struggle till the current military regime.[10]
