Bank manager on Tem's tail

It sounds pretty good starring in films with the likes of Marlon Brando and Harrison Ford, an agent in Hollywood and a lakeside mansion here.

But good is not the word Temuera Morrison would use for his life right now.

His mansion is up for sale, he's in serious debt, and the leading Hollywood roles have all dried up.

Add to that the death of some people very dear to him, and you'll start to get the picture.

But while Tem may be down, he's not out. His new book gives a taste of how this Maori boy from Rotorua never gives up.

Something Gill Higgins saw for herself on the set of his latest film.
