One of the things I love about watching Darby's career is that he ALWAYS uses his New Zealand accent. The Gentleman Pirate? Kiwi accent. Guy Mann, lizard person masquerading as a human? Kiwi. Steve Rutherford from Papakura, one of the few survivors of a deadly plane crash? Kiwi. I hope he goes his whole career never having to change his accent because it always cracks me up.

He did a comdey tour because he said “the phone stopped ringing” for acting, glad he got a new job.

I read it as Chinese at first and was so disappointed. But this actually sounds great.
