Our favourite Brewery worker on Colin from Accounts, answers some candid everyday questions ….
The state of my hair is …
Whatever it feels like it wants to be right now, so we move…
The state of my heart is …
Feeling like it’s at a precipice and getting ready to jump. I’m not sure if I’ll soar through the air or fall to my death … dramatic!
The state of my undies drawer is …
We don’t talk about Bruno.
The best accessory I ever bought was …
A wolf ring my wife got me for my birthday. I love it partly because she got it for me and partly because I’m a wolf!
The best thing about being on Colin from Accounts is …
The opportunity to work and learn from the most amazingly talented cast and crew. The fact that I get to hang out with them and pick their brains, it’s crazy. They also let me kick it in the fridge between takes, which is sick.
The worst thing about being on Colin from Accounts is …
The fact that I spent weeks learning how to make beer! I tried my best to memorise everything to do with making and distilling alcohol and microbreweries, and then just to get there and not use any of it! I was ready to show off and everything. Tragic!
The most famous person I’ve met is …
Thor himself, Mr. Chris Hemsworth. I didn’t really meet him as such but more bumped into him on the way to the toilets at the AACTAs last year. He said “Hi”, and all I could muster up was a noise that sounded like “Hi”. Then I pointed past him and made another noise that sounded like “Toilet,” and he walked away. It’s safe to say, it was a great first impression!
Back in high school, I was …
Nomadic.
If I could have one superpower it would be …
The ability to control time. I want to see what life would be like if I made different choices.
People don’t know that I once …
Was athletic. I know, hard to believe but you just never know!
“My gay mates are better than yours!”
My Samoan heritage is …
The blood that flows through my veins. It’s the honour I strive to bring to my last name and the people I belong to. It’s who I am, the way I live my life and how I view the world around me.
My autobiography would be called …
A Story About a Guy.
When alone in my car I …
Speed and turn up the music up to DA MAX!
I’m shit scared of …
The ocean!
My most embarrassing moment on set was …
The day I tested positive for COVID-19, they shut down production on Colin from Accounts. I had to sit in a black tent like a peasant and the whole time I thought I would get fired. It was the worst two weeks, but I brought my PlayStation 4, so that was the plus.
The last time I laughed hysterically was …
At my cousin’s house yesterday when I told them about the time I met Thor.
My favourite all-time television character is …
Brock Samson from The Venture Bros. If I’m even half the man he is, I’ll die happy.
My secret food indulgence is …
KFC and by that, I mean all of it. The whole Kentucky Fried Chicken menu!
New Zealand is …
Home. It’s where my pu’ke is buried. Pu’ke is Samoan for umbilical cord and in our culture, when you’re born your pu’ke is buried. Then when you pass on, you must be buried where your pu’ke is or your soul won’t rest in peace.
The song that makes me smile and want to dance is …
Another Night by Real McCoy.
My gay mates are …
Better than yours!
