In 1976, Khuong Duc became an actor of the Hanoi Rowing Troupe. But then he realized that this place was not his land because he was only allowed to play supporting roles, blue-eyed and sunken roles.

By 1982, the artist decided to return to the Speaking Troupe, People's Police Theater. And indeed, this is a b.ig turning point in Khuong Duc Thuan's life as an artist, because he seems to find himself in this environment.

Possessing a divine face, a wide forehead, perhaps that's why he is always "chosen to send gold" for dramatic roles.

During his time with CAND Drama and many years later, to this day, he r.emains one of the actors remembered for his many successful police roles in theatrical productions and films.

Khuong Duc Thuan also admitted that his greatest pride is being assigned to play the role of "boss" such as: Director of the Police Investigation Department in The Vortex, Prefect of Police in The Brunette Man, Director of Police in Sweet in Bitterness, Director of Police in Fragile Moment, spy in Confrontation...

During 40 years of artistic activity, artist Khuong Duc Thuan has been associated with many roles as police soldiers. He himself can't remember the number of times he was portrayed in this kind of role.

Khuong Duc Thuan is also the police artist who received the most medals in the festivals and was happier when they were all awarded for police roles.

It was the gold medal for Man to Man, The Brunette Man, The Last Farewell, then the silver medal for his role in Sweet in Bitterness, The Vortex, Confrontation...

It seems that the police substance has soaked into the b.lood of Khuong Duc Thuan as a director once remarked about the actor: "Duc Thuan standing still has also become a police officer."

In any field, theater or film, he is very confident in playing this type of role. He can even help his foreign industry mates comply with the orders and manners of the police soldier.

Therefore, the actor caught the eye of many drama directors who wanted to invite him to the role of a police officer. Right from the first days of her acting career, Khuong Duc Thuan was assigned the role of Deputy Director of the Police Investigation Department in Overcoming the Challenge (directed by Phi Tien Son) or later in the film The same year of birth, The Promised Land...

Not only impressed by the roles of police and director, Khuong Duc Thuan is also remembered for many other roles in feature films and TV series such as: General Vo Nguyen Giap in the plastic feature film Liberation of Saigon, Minister Tran Quoc Hoan in the movie Exploding Battleship...

In particular, the role of General Vo Nguyen Giap is a lifelong character and a memorable memory in his life as an artist.

As a former soldier, having experienced arduous days in the battlefield of the 5th Military Region, it helped Duc Thuan play the role of General Vo Nguyen Giap successfully, leaving many impressions and emotions for viewers.

Khuong Duc Thuan once emotionally said that he was very happy because director Long Van trusted him with one of the most important roles, which is the role of General Vo Nguyen Giap, the legendary general of the Vietnamese people.

Before filming, General Nguyen Bell arranged for his crew to visit the General.

"When he found out that I was playing the General, he looked at me and said, 'You don't need to look like me, it's about your spirit and your will.' He also gave me a l.ot of books, tapes, documents with pictures related to him for me to study the role properly," the artist once shared.

According to Khuong Duc Thuan, in order to play the role and body suitable for General Vo Nguyen Giap, he had to constantly force the balance of many measures, from 80kg to 60kg.

As an artist, used to the spotlight, but every time I step on stage or act, I still feel as emotional as the first time.

In real life, he was also a Police Colonel. Therefore, the soldier's thoughtfulness, kindness and example always radiate from him.

This is also the reason why male artists are often "chosen by directors to send gold" for the role of the Police because of the standard "The police go to act, just stand still". He can even help his foreign actors comply with the orders and manners of the police soldier.

Although he often plays the role of a police officer, artist Khuong Duc Thuan does not get bored. According to him, each character is a life with different personalities and destinies. A police officer is different from a Chief of Investigation, much less a Chief of Police.

In terms of personal life, despite being a famous artist, Khuong Duc Thuan lives very privately. He didn't share much with the public, the media about his family. On his personal page, the artist also rarely updates everyday images.
