Ananda Everingham, born May 31, 1982 in Thailand, is a Lao-Australian actor and model, best known for his lead role in the 2004 horror film, "Shutter."

Everingham was born to an Australian father, Bangkok-based photojournalist John Everingham and a Lao mother, Keo Sirisomphone. His parents' story was dramatized in the 1983 NBC television movie, "Love Is Forever," about a photojournalist who swims the Mekong to rescue his lover from Laos in 1977.

Everingham was born in Thailand and often visited Australia on school holidays and received some schooling there. He attended Bangkok Patana School. At age 14, while working part-time in his family's restaurant, Himali Cha Cha, he was discovered by Khun Mingkwan of GMM Grammy, Thailand's largest entertainment company. Soon, he started acting in films.

At age 16, Everingham landed his first acting job, a lead role on the low-budget comedy drama, "Anda kub Fahsai," that revolves around two lovers whose parents dislike each other, thus rendering the young lovers' relationship impossible. In the same year, he secured another lead role in the teen-slasher movie, "303 Fear Faith Revenge."

In 2004, Everingham got his big break when he starred in the acclaimed blockbuster horror movie "Shutter," which won the Audience Award at the Gérardmer Film Festival.

Aside from Shutter, Everingham starred in the Singaporean romance film, Leap of Love. He has also been cast in several upcoming films such as "Queen of Lung-Gasuka," "Ploy," and "Khaw hai rak jong jaroen."
