Kieren Hutchison

Kieren was about 7 years old when he saw Raiders of the Lost Ark - still one of his favourite movies - and wanted to be an actor ever since.

In 1996 Kieren auditioned for the Cloud 9 series The Adventures of Swiss Family Robinson and moved to Wellington for the second half of that year to do that. Six weeks of the filming were spent on Fiji - which according to Kieren made for an awesome experience. He says, he had great fun there, getting to meet Richard Thomas (who played Kieren's TV father David Robinson) and his family whom he is still good friends with.

Immediately, following the end of The Adventures of Swiss Family Robinson in 1997, Kieren was cast as the lead in The Legend of William Tell, also for Cloud 9. Tell allowed Kieren to live out a lot of his childhood fantasies, he says, pretending he was Michael Praed out of the English show Robin of Sherwood from 1984 that Kieren remembers fondly from his childhood. Tell was his favourite job so far.

In January 2000 Kieren moved to Los Angeles spending time there to establish some acting contacts. When he returned to New Zealand in May he got a guest part in the new Pacific Renaissance show Cleopatra 2525 as Johnny.
