Introduction
Truong Giang is a Vietnamese comedian, television host, and film director. He is widely recognized by audiences through reality shows and his acting roles in various films. In 2026, he marked a new milestone in his career with his directorial debut.
Film Career
After a five-year absence from the big screen, Truong Giang returned with the film *Nha Ba Toi Mot Phong* (My Father's One-Room House), released during the Lunar New Year holiday in 2026. In this project, he took on three roles simultaneously: director, screenwriter, and lead actor. The film tells the story of Mr. Thach (played by Truong Giang), a single father raising his teenage daughter An (played by Doan Minh Anh). The plot revolves around minor conflicts and the awkward ways father and daughter express affection, reflecting familiar slices of family life.
The film faced skepticism from audiences upon announcement, as audience tastes had changed during his five-year hiatus. However, its box office performance helped ease those doubts. On the evening of February 27, 2026, *Nha Ba Toi Mot Phong* reached a revenue milestone of 100 billion VND, making Truong Giang a "hundred-billion" director with his debut work. The film maintained second place at the box office for most of the Tet screening weeks.
Roles and Reception
As an actor, Truong Giang portrayed a father who loves his child in a clumsy way, often feeling helpless before the inner world of a teenage girl. As a director, he told a familiar story about family, though some critics found it slightly dated and overly sentimental, it still had touching moments. The supporting cast, including Doan Minh Anh, Le Khanh, Anh Tu Atus, and Nhu Van, helped drive the narrative and offered different perspectives on family and kinship.
The film also featured guest appearances from cast members of the TV show *2 Ngay 1 Dem* (2 Days 1 Night) and other familiar faces, adding to its appeal. The soundtrack was also well-invested, with three songs performed by Anh Tu Atus and a theme song about father-child love by singer Jack.
