Jemaine Clement is the bespectacled half of folk-comedy duo Flight of the Conchords and has achieved international cult status starring in the HBO comedy series of the same name, that follows the duo's exploits in New York. Clement's screen career began in the mid-nineties, when he joined the cast of sketch comedy shows Telly Laughs and Skitz. His big-screen debut was Tongan Ninja, followed by the misfit romance Eagle vs Shark.
