MillenBaird

Millen Baird writes, acts and directs; he has been creating all kinds of content since escaping from a job as a tax accountant at company Arthur Andersen.

Growing up in New Plymouth, Baird showed few signs of wanting a showbusiness career. His father "was my comedy idol from a young age", followed later by Billy T James. His mother Colleen was a speech and drama teacher. She compelled Baird and his two siblings to take lessons — with another teacher. “We were too naughty to go to mum’s class,” he says. “Every year we ‘d compete in May competitions organised by my lovely mother, but it was a real chore. Even the improv class weirdly enough, as improv’s the way I love to work now.”
