Introduction
Nhã Phương is a Vietnamese television and film actress. She is known for her roles in television and film. In 2025, she took on the role of casting director for the first time for the feature film released at Tết Nguyên đán 2026, "Nhà ba tôi một phòng", directed and produced by Trường Giang.
Why is the role of casting director a notable shift?
Actors usually only appear in front of the camera, while casting is the stage that decides who will stand in front of the camera. Taking on this position means Nhã Phương moved from receiving roles to shaping the acting team for the whole film. For a Tết release project, the casting stage directly affects whether the film can touch the psychology of the audience, so this is a far heavier responsibility than a single role.
What does the work of a casting director actually involve?
According to reference sources, Nhã Phương took part from the script reading stage, giving feedback, and then gradually took on the selection of actors. In other words, she did not take on a ready-made title but went from understanding the story, envisioning the characters, to finding people who matched that vision. This is also why this position is considered the first time she held the role of casting director for a feature film.
What does the story of casting the role of An say about her way of working?
During the casting process, she said the greatest pressure lay in the role of An, the daughter of the character played by Trường Giang, which was given to the young actress Đoàn Minh Anh. She admitted to worrying whether a young face would have enough experience to carry the family emotions, but the team dispelled that worry when Minh Anh took on the role well, picked up the rhythm quickly and kept the necessary emotion. This detail shows that the criteria for choosing people here did not stop at appearance or fame, but revolved around the ability to carry an emotional thread.
Which parts are solid records, and which are only accounts?
The solid facts include: the year 2025, the role of casting director, the film title "Nhà ba tôi một phòng", the expected release at Tết Nguyên đán 2026, and Trường Giang serving as director and producer. The account of the script reading process, the feedback, and then the worry and reassurance about the young actress is a retelling from the side of the person and the team, not independently verifiable fact. This distinction matters, because it shows what is an event milestone and what is the internal perspective of those involved.
Where does her professional context lie?
Nhã Phương works in television and film acting, and beyond her role as an actress she also takes part in film production stages. An actress familiar to audiences moving into the production organisation stage is a common direction in the industry, when experience in front of the camera becomes capital for evaluating others. In this case, that experience was used for the casting stage, the stage that sits between the script and the shooting process.
