    They can take the Tongan out of Dunedin but you can’t take the Dunedin out of the Tongan. A student of life albeit from the perspective of leaning on a bar and a bit of a ladies man if he must say so himself.
    Certainly no ladies are saying it.

About me:

Word.
I'm an actor, a stand-up comedian and director.
I was born in Timaru and spent 4 yrs in Dunedin getting blazed at Uni, before moving up to Auckland to get blazed at greater expense. Ma and Pa live in Timaru on the farm. One of my brothers is a fisherman, and the other is a plastic surgeon. Hilarious.

I like girls. I get on well with the ladies. I especially like ladies who I find attractive.
Most aren't quite the looker I am. I am stunning.

I was lucky enough to be in a short film last year which won the 48 hr flim festival in NZ. Check it out in my clips - Brown Peril: The Tim Porch Story
Now i clean the producers' dishes.
Really.
Check our steez.

Recently I have been acting in and producing a series called The Man Event.It's me and three friends competing in manly events against each other, like "Following Directions", Animal Mastery", and "Getting Wood". It's less sexual than it sounds. We will be releasing the series soon on C4 and also on MySpace.

I have just started production on a a new show for C4. It has some cool cats working on it, Cori Gonzalez, Jimmy the Dwarf and the foxy Vicky Lee. It's hosted by Jono Pryor and is subsequently called "Jono's New Show".
We really aught to come up with something better.

I also do other stuff for money like paint houses and wash dishes. I've been acted in some crap TV, a couple of ads, and one feature film called The Devil Dared Me To, as a scooter stunt expert in the "Timaru Hellriders".
At the premiere I was asked to jump over the velvet ropes as a "stunt" for C4 Music Television. They said it would be funnier if I tripped. So with a beer in my hand I did a pretty unconvincing fall.
Unfortunately the rest of the media didn't know what I was doing and the next morning a report on bFM said "Actor Josh Thomson was so drunk that he fell and broke the stage by the red carpet and spilled beer all over the C4 camera crew".
By lunchtime I was getting calls to see if I was OK after breaking the stage then pulling down the press tent. By tea time I had pulled down a marquee and the next day my friend checked to see how I was handling things after breaking the stage and giving someone third degree burns.
The premiere was inside Sylvia Park mall leading up to a door of a muliplex, with no stage, no tent inside and definitely no burning people, but it's always nice to be labelled as the local drunk arsonist. Anyway the movie is choice.

Check out the OFFICIAL TRAILER, the guys from The Back of The Y made it. It's rad. It's in cinemas now. Go fucking see it.


Who I'd like to meet:

..Colonel Sanders. And he better be frontin' that mo.
