A man of many talents, Cliff Curtis is a Hollywood star hailing all the way from Rotorua.  

He’s known for his metamorphosis, carving out credits in a mixture of major franchises and more personal productions, and his latest project feels like a blend of both. 

Curtis is starring in Jason Momoa’s ‘Chief of War’, which tells a tale of the turn of the 18th century, when the four kingdoms of Hawai’i were at war. 

He told Jack Tame he’s very proud and humbled to be a part of this production. 

“As a storyteller in the screen industry for the last three decades at least, we’ve managed to tell a variation of stories from our small corner of the world,” Curtis said. 

“But you know, this series, when led by the likes of Jason Momoa and his co-creator Thomas Pa‘a Sibbett, they can bring scale to the narrative.” 

“It's a big deal for us.”
