Siriporn Rosenberg-Thongthammpoom

About the Job

Amelia’s mother. All of her lines are spoken in Thai. Elegant, practical, and endlessly supportive, though not always convinced her daughter’s latest accomplishment attempt is a good idea. Siriporn has spent years encouraging Amelia through an astonishing number of failures while quietly hoping that one day something will finally stick. She loves her daughter fiercely and wants her to succeed, but unlike some members of the family, she understands that accomplishment and self-worth are not necessarily the same thing. Often serving as the emotional center of the family, Siriporn balances warmth, humor, and occasional exasperation as the household rallies around Amelia’s final chance to preserve a 137-year family legacy. The role requires strong comedic instincts and the ability to play heightened mockumentary situations with complete sincerity. Looking for an actor who can convey intelligence, compassion, and understated humor while grounding the absurd world of the film in genuine emotion. Think: the parent who has attended hundreds of school recitals, soccer games, and science fairs, not because she expected a trophy, but because she loves the person trying.
