    I have no idea who that is but cool.

      He’s an actor and comedian from New Zealand. Off the top of my head, he’s been in:

      • “Flight of the Concords”
      • “Voltron”
      • “What We Do In the Shadows” the movie, not sure about the series
      • "Our Flag Means Death"

      I’m pretty excited by the idea of him showing up in SNW. My guess would be him playing a Mudd/Okana type figure.

        I’m wondering if he’ll be playing Roger Korby. During the panel, they said that they wouldn’t confirm or deny certain rumours that have apparently been floating around.

      He played the Gentleman Pirate in the show Our Flag Means Death, he’s also the manager in the show flight of the conchords.

      My absolute favorite Rhys Darby appearance is X-Files Season 10 Episode 3, “Mulder and Scully Meet the Were-Monster”

      Consider me excited.

    I feel like I did when Bill Bailey was on an episode of Dr Who. This was made just for me.

      Love Bill, when I saw him live last here in Manchester he was trying some new material, hung a joke on the punchline using the word juxtaposition, and nobody laughed because they didn’t know what it meant xD

      God, I felt embarrassed to realise the bar for education here is that low…

    Fuckin A, he’s absolutely fantastic, can’t wait to see what he gets up to on SNW, which is a wonderful show that doesn’t take itself too seriously :-D
