Koha - Billy T James
Television – 1983
I’m not stereotyping. I travel around this country every week and I’m working to the people every week. And that character on the Maori news — I’m just portraying people that I see. You know there are people like that. There are people with that sense of humour. There are people who speak like that.– Billy T James
