Sampath Ram
Indian actor
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Sampath Ram is an Indian actor who works primarily in Tamil-language films. He is known for his villainous roles.[2]
Career
Ram started his acting career with the television series Ethanai Manithargal that aired on Doordarshan as a thug.[1] He made his film debut with Mudhalvan (1999), where he played a sub-inspector of police.[1] The film, however, failed to provide the actor a major break.[1] Ram survived a head injury while shooting for Dheena (2001).[1] After Dheena, he starred in several films as a thug. About twenty years later, Ram landed in a meaty role in Thimiru Pudichavan (2018). Post Thimiru Pudichavan, he garnered acclaim for his performance as an aghori in Kanchana 3.[3] Ram signed Thatrom Thookrom, where he essays the main antagonist.[4] His two-hundredth film Kasa Kasaa features him in the lead role.[5]
