Belonging to the second class of the University of Theater and Performing Arts of Hanoi, he began his career with roles that highlight his kind, "peasant-like" appearance; participating in films such as: "The Wall Never Built" (Bức tường không xây), "Married for Love" (Lấy nhau vì tình), "A Godless Sunday" (Ngày Chủ nhật vắng Chúa), etc. Bùi's breakthrough came with "The Guava House" (Mùa ổi, d. Đặng Nhật Minh, 2000). He was cast as Hòa, a mentally challenged middle-aged man whose kindheartedness is both exploited and scorned by society.
