Nicholas Rogers
Actor
Nicholas Rogers debuted in the title role of acclaimed 1985 feature Kingpin: Rogers played Karl, the teen bully fighting to stay top dog at a boys' home. The following year Rogers took on a very different role: in Mark II he was Eddie, "the conscience" (NZ Herald 's Barry Shaw) of a trio of teenagers on a road-trip. Reviewers from the Listener, the Auckland Star and the Herald all praised his performance.
