Dwayne Cameron playing Bruce McLaren - with director Roger Donaldson.
Filming has just wrapped on Kiwi directing legend Roger Donaldson's new film about the life of renowned racing car driver Bruce McLaren.
Spy can reveal, Donaldson, who directed The World's Fastest Indian, cast Agent Anna actor Dwayne Cameron as McLaren, in what Cameron describes as a true director's tribute to
another trailblazer. The movie is very much about the Kiwi pioneering spirit and passion to succeed.
Cameron, who left Auckland for Los Angeles on Thursday to work on some new projects, told Spy he was always on his toes during filming. "Filming McLaren was a unique experience - for starters I got a call from my agent at Johnson & Laird saying Roger Donaldson wanted to meet me at 3pm that day. I drove to meet him and I was offered the role on the spot. In less than a week we were filming."
Cameron was honoured to work with him and was pretty chuffed to be among some pretty famous Donaldson leading men, including Daniel Day-Lewis, Al Pacino, Anthony Hopkins and Robin Williams.
Cameron is not a speedster and had a professional race driver at the McLaren racetrack in Taupo for the racing scenes.
