ScreenTalk Short: Temuera Morrison

Interview – 2019

Temuera Morrison cemented his place in Kiwi screen history by playing the abusive Jake Heke in Once Were Warriors. In this ScreenTalk Short he recalls making Warriors — namely nerves, protein shakes, actor Rena Owen, and special boots to make him look taller. Also mentioned: sequel What Becomes of the Broken Hearted?, early days acting on Rangi’s Catch, stumbling over medical terms on Shortland Street, and joining the Star Wars empire.
