The New Zealand-born actor has made a name for himself with a string of standout performances across both film and television. Known for his compelling screen presence, the actor gained recognition playing Private Isara’elu ‘Izzy’ Ulalei in the gripping mini series Fighting Season. That role really put him on the map, showcasing his depth and versatility as a performer.

He continued building momentum with his portrayal of Manu in the popular series Surviving Summer, where his character added emotional weight and authenticity to the storyline. Fans of crime dramas might also recognize him from his role as Jayjay in the series Troppo, further proving his range across genres. On the big screen, he delivered a memorable performance in the 2021 indie film Millie Lies Low, which earned critical praise and expanded his audience.

Before all the spotlight, life looked a bit different for the actor. Growing up in New Zealand, he attended an all-boys school known for its strong rugby culture—a world not typically associated with acting. But even amidst that environment, he found his passion in the drama department, where he began honing his craft. It was a pivotal decision that set him on his current path.

With Samoan heritage shaping part of his identity, the actor proudly traces his roots through both sides of his family. His father hails from Levi, Saleimoa, while his mother comes from Falefa, Anoama’a—connections that remain important to him. As his career continues to grow, so does the recognition of this talented actor who’s quickly becoming one to watch.
