I've just been trying to think of some other famous Kiwis apart from the incredibly famous James Lennox and the only two names that spring to mind are Russell Crowe and Lucy Lawless. Is there anyone else?
Yes Molly, Sir Ed is nearly as famous as me. Ernest Rutherford is the other big one. We have a few famous directors too, like Peter Jackson and Taika Waititi. Then there's ... um ... Barry, the Red Lion publican. Raj from the local Indian takeaway. The list goes on and on.
Taika Waititi (What We Do In the Shadows), Brett McKenzie and Jermaine Clement (Flight of the Conchords), Sam Neill (depending on how he identifies), Peter Jackson (Heavenly Creatures), Temuera Morrison ( Once Were Warriors), Rhys Derby (Jumanji) etc. New Zealanders have a very chill sense of humour and there's some superb movies that have come out of the country. They're nearly as good as the Australians

There have been some great New Zealand distance runners - Rod Dixon, John Walker and Dick Quax to name a few.

Yeah Willie, Peter Snell as well. We tend to punch above our population weight in athletics and sports. Comes from chasing sheep.
