Jordi Webber's had a dream for a long time - to make it in Hollywood.
Now that dream is a step closer for the 23-year-old, after the local lad has starred in the 24th season of American superhero series Power Rangers and will be travelling to the United States to promote the show, before returning home to star in a webseries over the summer.
The prodigiously talented proud son of Rotorua - who was head boy at Rotorua Boys' High School in 2011, and a former member of boy band Titanium - has long held ambitions to act on the world's biggest stage.
His casting as the country music star and Gold Power Ranger Aiden Romero on the Nickelodeon show was his first break into the US market, and gave him a chance to show off his musical talents to international audiences.
When he caught up with the Rotorua Daily Post this week, Webber was finalising his application for a three-year US entertainment visa, taking a break after a gruelling 10 month film schedule shooting Power Rangers, working 10 to 14 hours, six days a week - all before he starts shooting his next project.
