Ta Minh Thao is a soldier who went through the war and grew up in military school. He has been associated with the arts for decades with jobs such as drama actor, festival event director, lecturer at arts and culture schools. But the national audience knows the artist the most in the field of cinema.

Since then, Ta Minh Thao has appeared in more than forty films, including many famous films such as: "I will return", "Russia" (1996); "The Story of the Paddle Hamlet" (1997); "Heir to the Line", "Green Spiders" (1998); "The Season of Falling Leaves" (1999), "Shimmering Candles" (2000), "The Road of Life" (2001); "The Calm River (2004) ...

Ta Minh Thao comes from the theater stage, but her impressive roles in the TV series "Criminal Police" are the "springboard" for Ta Minh Thao's name to approach the public.

In particular, the role of Cuong "scarred" in the film "The Secret of Snake Cave Lake" of the Criminal Police series is his unforgettable role. Cuong "scarred" was originally a good person, but because of revenge for his relatives, he became a murderer, a notorious bandit general.

Ta Minh Thao is also one of the few actors who can embody many types of TV roles from villain, unruly outlaw or police officer, sharp police commander in solving cases...

Ta Minh Thao is fully shown in front of the camera thanks to her acting talent and life experience of a soldier who has experienced the battlefield. Every time he appears in public, whether the role is long or short, he wants to bring a new image, not duplicate or faded.

At the age of 60, Dr. Ta Minh Thao still loves his profession, he devotes himself to art. Each film with a lot of foreign scenes, spread all over the country. Difficulties and conditions were not favorable, but he still fulfilled his role, contributing to success, giving the audience the most authentic footage.

During his career, he has received many prestigious awards such as: Gold Medal at the Coastal Theater Festival 1994, National Theater Festival 1996, National Professional Theater Festival 2004... He was honored to be awarded the title of Distinguished Artist by the State in 2007.

Talking about his personal life, Ta Minh Thao's real name is the new Ta Xuan Thao and he almost didn't get married because of this name. It is known that at the time when he was working in the troupe, Thai Binh accidentally went to play with his sister and "fell in love" with her boss's daughter. However, their romance did not receive the support of the "girl" because the actor was often unfaithful.

The actor also freely shared, at that time, "behind the scenes" also let people silently investigate his background, background and personality. More dramatically, when the wife's family went to ask the old woman selling water at the office gate, they learned that Thao was a man with a wife and two children in the countryside.

The actor, who was born in 1962, recalled: " The girl sent someone to investigate my background and personality, who was likely my future brother-in-law. But funny and ironic, when his wife's sister started a conversation with the old lady selling water at the gate of the troupe, the information came back: Xuan Thao had a wife and 2 children in the countryside. It was a disastrous mistake, because my troupe had 2 people with the same name Ta Xuan Thao, the same uniformed soldiers, the same beard.

This confusion made Minh Thao laugh because of the "crime" of the same name as a person from the same agency. But because of that, he and his lover were vehemently opposed, until the boy brought the ceremony to ask for the wedding, which was not accepted by the girl.

In the end, Minh Thao and his wife decided to pay for the wedding service themselves, still coming together. There were times when, in addition to his main job, he had to run merchandising goods to earn extra income.

In the early years of his marriage, he was still not accepted by his in-laws. It was not until 4 years later, Ta Minh Thao's father-in-law suffered a stomach hemorrhage, he immediately carried his father-in-law for nearly 2 kilometers jogging to Thai Binh City Hospital and then to Viet - Bun Hospital. He added: "I thought I was fainting because I was tired. But then, lying on his deathbed, his father-in-law said to his mother-in-law: "If I have any destiny, please give affection to Thao and his wife, because until now, you and I have misunderstood him and his wife." Hearing my father-in-law say this, I stood and cried, and all my shame and disadvantage were removed."

According to Ta Minh Thao, he and his wife now receive the wholehearted love of their grandmother. His wife's parents are nearly 90 years old, and his wife's brothers are far away, without conditions to take care of them, so he and his wife bought a house near their grandparents for convenience.

If in the film, the audience can see his character holding power, enjoying a rich and rich life, in real life, artist Ta Minh Thao still happily calls himself a "motorbike taxi" to transport goods for his wife who is now a retired teacher.

The "tycoon" also cheekily said: "People often tell me that I have money to act, why do I need to carry goods for my wife?" But for artist Ta Minh Thao or his other colleagues, although they always consider acting as a passion, always burning for it. But when he returned home, he was devoted to family life, doing everything not only to "earn" to support his family, but also to nurture his desire to contribute to art.

His children have grown up, have settled down in their careers and have peaceful families, have settled abroad, and visit him several times a year. He and his wife no longer worry too much about their children and spend more time taking care of their elderly father-in-law. Ta Minh Thao considers this a great responsibility, instead of distant brothers who are difficult to be close to their parents.

Since working as a profession and being known and loved by the audience for all these decades, Ta Minh Thao has never dreamed of a rich life. He thought that just being able to love himself, to live and do what he wanted, was a great thing for him.

Currently, whether filming in Hanoi or Ho Chi Minh City. In HCMC, Ta Minh Thao is also still in Thai Binh. His life has always been a constant move. Lives in Thai Binh but works all over the country. Not to mention, the artist still arranges to fulfill the role of director at Thai Binh Opera and Dance Company - where the artist is working.
