Lindisfarne Old Boy, Kawakawa Fox-Reo, has had not one, but two, big breaks in the entertainment world recently. He is starring in the Maori supernatural drama, “The Deadlands” which has just been released on TVNZ On Demand and American streaming service Shudder but he has also landed a great role in the long-running Australian series “Home and Away”. He plays Nikau, the youngest member of the Parata family who are a new introduction to the series and the first Maori family to have a major part in the show.

Kawakawa had his very first opportunity on stage at Lindisfarne College when he starred in the production of Godspell and since then, he has gone on to achieve significant success on the small screen. We wish him the best with the latest venture.
