James Rolleston

'James Rolleston' (qv) is an actor of Maori heritage from Opotiki, New Zealand, or Aotearoa, as the island nation is called in its indigenous language. First appearing in the 'Taika Waititi' (qv) film, _Boy (2010)_ (qv), Rolleston's debut performance rightly earned him accolades as a young actor to be watched in the future, which praise he backed up by returning outstanding performances in _The Dark Horse (2014)_ (qv) and _The Dead Lands (2014)_ (qv). In July 2016, he was in a life-changing car crash, sustaining serious injuries including brain trauma that has affected his speech and other characteristics, but from which he continues to make recovery with the support of family and friends.::Red Haircrow
