56 years old (Born on July 27, 1968)
New Zealand actor.
Though he's Maori, he's only played a Maori in a couple of movies. He has been cast as nearly any other dark-skinned nationality having played, among others, Mexican-Americans, Colombians, Arabs and Chechens. Is in two separate films entitled "Fracture," playing a detective in both. Almost missed his flight from Auckland, New Zealand, to Los Angeles en route to Mexico to film Blow (2001). While filming Whale Rider (2002) he would approach Rawiri Paratene in the mornings and annoy him in order to keep them both in character.Cliff Curtis's Best Moments
