Peter Kaa

Following small parts on TV, Peter Kaa won a trio of choice screen roles: breakthrough Māori drama series E Tipu E Rea (1989), sketch show Away Laughing, and a key role in Barry Barclay film Te Rua. Kaa played a poet and activist fighting to return Māori carvings from a German museum. Since then, Kaa has directed plays for Taki Rua, and acted in Mataku, Shortland Street, and period rugby tale Savage Play.

If you grow up on a marae you perform. It goes part and parcel with life there. I grew up on the Hinepare marae on New Zealand's East Coast and started orating when I was five-years-old.
