Roles have included the title role of MacBeth on stage & the long haired, bearded horse riding commander of the armies of Rohan, Gamling, in The Two Towers & Return of The King from Peter Jacksons Lord of the Rings trilogy. His MC journey now spans decades, he founded the unique Temp HR agency ActionActors, & the joys of his life are his 3 adult progeny and 4 wicked mokopuna.
