Meritorious Artist Bui Nhu Lai left an impression when playing the role of Mr. Chinh in the TV series "My Father, the one who stayed".
The film marks the return of the artist after the film "Under the shade of a happy tree" in 2023.
Dr. - Meritorious Artist Bui Nhu Lai currently holds the position of Vice Principal of the school. Before that, he worked for a long time at the Youth Theater.

After holding the position of manager, Meritorious Artist Bui Nhu Lai rarely acted in films. However, he still remembers his memories of his active days at the theater.
In a conversation with Lao Dong reporter, Meritorious Artist Bui Nhu Lai recalled his memories of his days on stage: "I still remember the days when ticket sales were in front of the cinema or performance venue, the most frightening thing was meeting with counterfeit bills. We had to buy an extremely purple light to check which one was real and which one was fake. If any artist receives counterfeit money, they may lose sleep all night."

When the stage fell into difficulty, the theater was deserted, artists had to sell tickets, go to every market, every ticket business.
"The story of selling tickets has countless tragic memories. I really respect Mr. Chi Trung, he sells tickets very well" - Meritorious Artist Bui Nhu Lai mentioned the former Director of the Youth Theater with a lot of affection.
Meritorious Artist Bui Nhu Lai said that he never forget those days, despite the many difficulties of the stage, he and his colleagues still loved and were burning out when standing under the stage lights.
Meritorious Artist Bui Nhu Lai has achieved many achievements while working at the Youth Theater.
In 2019, Meritorious Artist Bui Nhu Lai was honored to receive the title of Meritorious Artist and the Third Class Labor Medal awarded by the President.

By 2023, his role in the movie "Under the shadow of a happy tree" leaves an impression in the audience. It is the premise for the artist to continue to have a special role in "My Father, who stays" - the remake of "taking the name of the family member" that has caused a fever in China.
The role of Mr. Chinh - a simple father, not good at speaking, is somewhat hot-tempered and clumsy in the role of family pillar. At first, Mr. Chinh was confused about raising children after his wife left, but thanks to Binh ( Meritorious Artist Thai Son), he gradually learned how to be a good father.
Bui Nhu Lai depicts the image of a generous, humane man who always stood up for reason, was strong in society but was extremely warm and loved by his children.
He even prepared to secretly take his children to eat at night if they were hungry, defend them when Mr. Binh strictly taught them, and delicately care about the feelings of each child.
Through the acting and performance of Meritorious Artist Nhu Lai, Mr. Chinh appeared with many emotional nuances, with multi-dimensional and profound psychological developments.
