The tearful life of Viet Anh 'The Judge'
Although he has a happy and fulfilling life now, Viet Anh has experienced many bitter and tearful losses.
Actor Viet Anh is a famous television personality. In 2007, he became famous for his role as the young master Cao Thanh Lam in two parts of the series Criminal Police - Running from the Case.
The image of a rich young master who spends money like water, surrounded by beautiful girls, long legs,... made a strong impression on television audiences thanks to Viet Anh's passionate acting.
Currently, Viet Anh continues to cause a stir with Phan Hai - the son of boss Phan Quan in the TV series The Judge.
Leaving the role of Cao Thanh Lam, Viet Anh plays the role of a rich guy but acts very hooligan and gangster, making his father worry many times.
Regarding his personal life, actor Viet Anh just welcomed his first son and has a happy family with his much younger wife, Tran Huong.
Despite his peace and success, Viet Anh has gone through difficult times and 'returned empty-handed'. It can be said that the hardships Viet Anh has gone through are few that his peers have had to endure.

Driving a taxi to pursue his dream of becoming an actor
Viet Anh's real name is Nguyen Le Viet Anh, born in 1981 in Hanoi. He is currently a famous actor, but few people know that Viet Anh studied at the National Economics University in Hanoi, majoring in Marketing. After graduating, he moved from Hanoi to Ho Chi Minh City to start a career and pursue his love.
Viet Anh started his acting career with supporting roles, and his passion for movies grew without him realizing it.
However, he struggled for many years but still could not become famous. To continue to be able to make ends meet and pursue his acting dream, Viet Anh had to do many manual jobs, even driving a taxi for a famous taxi company in Ho Chi Minh City.
At this time, Viet Anh had to accept playing many supporting roles in unknown TV series, the salary was also very low and along with that was the fact that no one knew him even though he had appeared in many films.

In 2007, Viet Anh received the role of Cao Thanh Lam in two parts of the series Criminal Police - Running from the Case.
This was VFC's 'blockbuster' at that time so it was heavily invested. Seizing the opportunity, Viet Anh did his best with this role and received sweet rewards when Running from the Law became the hottest TV series at that time.
It can be said that with Running from the Law, Viet Anh has become a star in one step, becoming a sought-after television actor through many big projects. In addition, he has also received many invitations to act in commercials, be an MC, and represent brands.
With his career flourishing, Viet Anh quickly married an editor at Ho Chi Minh City Television and had his first daughter. It seemed that life was perfect for Viet Anh, but then unexpected events happened.
Broken family, lost career and money
2009 was a dark time for Viet Anh. Looking back, Viet Anh admitted that it was a turbulent time in his life when he was caught up in rumors about his personal feelings for his co-star Ly Nha Ky.
At the same time, the company he built was involved in a lawsuit, causing the actor to suddenly become penniless.
'After my role in the movie Running from the Law, everything from my career to my family life was going well. In 2009, I encountered a big incident, everything happened at the same time: my family broke up, my company was in a lawsuit, rumors with my co-stars, public pressure...
In just one night, everything changed completely. From having everything in my hands, I left with only 2 million VND', Viet Anh once teared up when talking about this period on television.
'I remember that for a whole week, I only ate bread and drank water. I have never cried in my life, but at that time, I cried because it was the most terrible time for me', who would have thought that Viet Anh had to go through days like that?
'Before that, everyone warned me a lot, but with my youth and competitive nature, I always ignored them, so at the moment of defeat, I didn't have enough courage to face anyone,' Viet Anh shared.

However, the thing that haunts him and makes him feel terrible when thinking back is the family breaking up when his daughter was still too young.
'I was pushed into a corner, reaching the end of my pain, but I refused to surrender. I think everyone wants to live happily with their loved ones and no one wants to live alone. Maybe it's fate that forces them to be like that. If I were to sit and count the number of days it took to overcome the crisis, I wouldn't be able to quantify it exactly, but it was a long time, long enough for me to absorb and understand,' Viet Anh said.
Explaining the reason for ending everything at the same time, Viet Anh said that fate controls and decides everything.
'Many things, no matter how hard we try to change, are still beyond human calculation. Of course, there is still a subjective element of the person involved. At that time, perhaps I was too young and inexperienced in life.'

During those days, the Vietnamese man felt the most guilty, especially his mother, because just because of his male pride, he did not return to Hanoi to see his mother, even though he really wanted to and missed her.
It was not until 2010 that his wish to return to his family became a reality when director Vu Minh Tri invited him to participate in a film in the capital. From here, Viet Anh revived his career and gradually regained his reputation in the television industry.
New 'challenges' at work and at home
At present, the storms in Viet Anh's life have passed. He currently has a happy family with his beautiful and talented wife Tran Huong and a lovely first son.
Overcoming the failure of his previous business, Viet Anh started to build his own career by organizing events.
In addition, he also tried his hand at being a film producer, although his first work, Bodyguard, Lady and Fool, was not as successful as expected.

However, Viet Anh is still very confident in his success in this attempt. 'I opened the company in 2009, at that time I produced TV series, not movies. Perhaps that was the period when I was still immature, just starting out in the profession, lacking many things... leading to my failure. This time, when I decided to return to film production, I was well prepared and had great support from resources and relationships. I am confident in my new role,' he said.
