Episode 43: Blair Strang

After early appearances in The Billy T. James Show and Once Were Warriors, Blair Strang became a household name as ambulance driver Rangi Heremaia on Shortland Street. Six years later he quit to complete his legal degree and now juggles family law with acting and running his own theatre company. Beaming in from his Northland home, he discusses how he handled fame in the heyday of Kiwi TV, getting recognised in court and why he finally agreed to reality TV when Celebrity Treasure Island came calling.
