Kit Thompson Bags The Best Actor Award At The 54th WorldFest-Houston Film Festival

Kit Thompson has just reached another milestone in his career. He won the Best Actor award at the 54th WorldFest-Houston International Film Festival!

The actor-model was recognized for his role in the 2019 iWant original movie Belle Douleur, co-starring Mylene Dizon. The movie's title, which in English means "beautiful pain," is about a 45-year-old psychologist (played by Mylene) who develops a relationship with a 20-year-old musician (played by Kit).

"I honestly didn’t think I’d win Best Actor," Kit shared on Instagram. "I was already happy when I found out I was nominated for Best Actor."

Kit thanked Belle Douleur's director Joji Alonso for allowing him to be a part of the filmmaker's very first feature film, as well as the movie's entire crew.

He also gave a special shoutout to Mylene. "Also, to my partner @missmylenedizon for guiding me, I wouldn’t have done it without you."

"@worldfesthouston, thank you for gracing me with this award."

Thompson beat the two other nominees from Japan, Hideyuki Kawahara and Yuh Kamiya, for their performances in the movie Sin-Gone Irony.

Mylene was similarly nominated for Best Actress for Belle Douleur but was bested by Japanese actress Nao Hasegawa for her role in Beautiful Lure.
