Over the course of a near 45-year career, Temuera Morrison has established himself as one of our leading actors. From small screen to large, playing bar room brawlers to bounty hunters, his CV boasts an impressive range of work.
Morrison made his screen debut at age 11, after being spotted performing for tourists in his hometown of Rotorua. Playing the starring role in British TV series Rangi's Catch, he held his own amongst an experienced cast (including Ian Mune). The series was shot downunder by expat Kiwi director Michael Forlong, and shown in New Zealand cinemas in a shortened movie version.
