Actor Temuera Morrison was acting on screen at the age of 11. Two decades later he won Kiwi television immortality on the receiving end of a line in Shortland Street, then rave reviews as the abusive husband in Once Were Warriors. Since reprising his Warriors role in the well-regarded 1999 sequel, Morrison has gone on to appear in River Queen, Crooked Earth, Mt Zion and the Star Wars series.
… a leading actor as elemental, charismatic and brutal as the young Marlon Brando; he has instinctive star power.
– The Seattle Journal, on Morrison's Once Were Warriors performance.
