Biography
Grant Bowler solves questions about his origins by describing himself as an "Aussiwi". Born in Auckland and proud of his Kiwi roots, he grew up in Queensland, and by 2010 was finding himself working all over the globe. "The funny thing is that I'm a New Zealand citizen and an American resident, I actually have no official connection to Australia," he told The Dominion Post in 2008. "It's quite disconcerting because I've spent most of my life here."
