I think Tem should do book narrating. Seriously. i would buy every book on CD that he does

It looked like he was tearing up at the end there...

Keep making movies, Tem. You're the kind of actor that deserves his name in the Hollywood walk of fame and so on. You deserve a hell of alot more recognition than you've gotten so far, just keep going!

Happy Birthday Tem! <3 We love you:)

Once Were Warriors was awesome - saw it years ago, and bought it recently. Also, saw What Becomes of the Broken Hearted. Teumuera is awesome in those films. Very exagerrated, classic as a result. I want to see a 3rd film !!!!!
