How Jarod Rawiri carved his way into the canon
From an otter at drama school to an alcoholic in a Eugene O’Neill play, Jarod Rawiri has amassed a peerless list of credits. Here’s how he did it.

A staple of training at Toi Whakaari, New Zealand’s national drama school, is the “solo”. When Jarod Rawiri was in third year, these solos tended to be earnest affairs, actors turning to family stories or impersonations of famous historical figures to show off what they’d learned over three years.
Rawiri’s solo, however, was ripped from the headlines. He played an otter who had recently escaped from the Wellington zoo, on the run for several days before being found. It was 20 minutes of raucous action-filled entertainment. It was, by all accounts, one for the books.

“Mum raised me and she was [studying] at Auckland Uni. She also used to work at all the movie theatres [and] in the candy bar at the Odeon and took me to the Civic to see E.T.,” Rawiri says.
Today, this little worn out treasure has been passed down to his daughter, giving the actor an opportunity to revisit the film.
“My daughter, who is ten years old now was like, ‘what is this?’ So I had to introduce her to the film. And I was like, E.T. does not look like this toy because it’s got this tail and these big fluffy brown ears. E.T doesn’t have ears!” laughs Rawiri.
