Prince Gomolvilas: The Only Gay, Thai, Science-Fiction Playwright
by Ada Tseng
While researching The Brothers Paranormal, his latest comedy-horror play, about Thai-American brothers who launch a ghost-hunting business, Prince Gomolvilas was invited to go on a ghost hunt with the Los Angeles Paranormal Association.
The owner of a private residence in Santa Clarita had reported overwhelming paranormal activity: objects flying off shelves, a pinball machine that turned on even when unplugged, children talking to their invisible friends.
Gomolvilas, 40, who says he’s “always on the lookout for proof of the paranormal,” accompanied three investigators (including Layla Halfhill, a half-Thai American who was on Gomolvilas’ favorite ghost-hunting show, Travel Channel’s Ghost Adventures) to check it out.
