Sukrit Wisetkaew (Thai: สุกฤษฎิ์ วิเศษแก้ว, RTGS: Su-krit Wisetkaeo, pronounced [sù.krìt wí.sèːt.kɛ̂ːw], born 4 September 1985),[2] commonly known by his nickname Bie (บี้; RTGS: Bi), is a Thai singer and actor. He was discovered on the third season of Thai television talent contest The Star.[2] After winning the position as the first runner-up in The Star 3, Bie became one of the hottest rising singers and gained immense popularity after his debut single I Need Somebody. He is well known as Bie The Star (Thai: บี้ เดอะสตาร์).

Besides his career as a singer and an actor in TV drama and sitcom, he was also trained to be a stage actor in several musicals. Behind the Painting is one of his musical masterpieces in which he acted as one of the leading roles.

In 2008, after under 2 years in the entertainment business, Bie became one of The Most Influential People in Thailand, according to a poll by the Thai Positioning magazine[3] and Siamrath.[4]

In May 2015, Bie was to make his American stage debut in the world premiere of WATERFALL, an epic new Broadway bound musical love story, based on a contemporary classic Thai novel, Behind the Painting by Sriburapha, featuring book and lyrics by Tony Award-winner Richard Maltby, Jr., music by Oscar- winner and two-time Tony Award nominee, David Shire and directed by Broadway and Thai theatrical impresario Tak Viravan.
