Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Sir Richard Taylor of Wētā Workshop
Q: What part of Tolkien's world would you live in if it was real?
Rivendell, for its art, music, beauty, and calm, which aligns with the guests' creative life in a workshop environment.
Shane Rangi
Q: How did mentors influence your entry into acting and the industry?
Mentors like Jill Clout and Maureen Potross saw potential in him, giving opportunities and guidance that moved him from shy beginnings to a career in theatre and film.
Shane Rangi
Q: What keeps you calm under heavy prosthetics and long days on set?
He cultivates a quiet inner space, focusing on tranquility within to manage heat, limited vision, and nonstop on-set activity, which helps him stay present and perform despite physical constraints.
Shane Rangi
Q: What part of your childhood most shaped your path into stunt work?
Growing up on farms in New Zealand, learning to ride, and being mentored by family figures laid the foundation for resilience, physicality, and practical problem-solving that later translated into a career in stunts and creature performance.
