biography:
Clifford Vivian Devon Curtis, 27 Temmuz 1968 tarihinde Rotorua, Yeni Zelanda'da dünyaya gelmiştir. Yeni Zelanda'nın yerli halkı olan Māori kökenli (Te Arawa ve Ngāti Hauiti kabilelerinden) bir aileden gelen Curtis, gençlik yıllarında geleneksel Māori dövüş sanatları ve danslarıyla ilgilendi. Oyunculuk kariyerine adım atmaya karar verdikten sonra eğitimini ülkesindeki prestijli Yeni Zelanda Drama Okulu'nda tamamladı. Ardından sanatsal vizyonunu genişletmek amacıyla İsviçre'ye giderek Teatro Dimitri'de fiziksel tiyatro üzerine yoğun bir eğitim aldı.

Kariyerine tiyatro sahnelerinde başlayan oyuncu, sinema dünyasındaki ilk çıkışını Jane Campion'ın yönettiği ve üç Akademi Ödülü kazanan başyapıt "Piyano" (The Piano) (1993) filmindeki küçük rolüyle yaptı. Ancak onu ülkesinde tanınan bir yıldıza dönüştüren ve oyunculuk yeteneğini gözler önüne seren yapım, Yeni Zelanda sinemasının kült filmlerinden "Bir Zamanlar Savaşçıydılar" (Once Were Warriors) (1994) oldu. Kendi kültürünün izlerini taşıyan uluslararası hit "Balina Binicisi" (Whale Rider) (2002) filmindeki Porourangi rolüyle de eleştirmenlerden tam not alarak kariyerini uluslararası arenaya taşıdı.

Hollywood'a geçiş yaptığında, karakteristik fiziksel yapısı ve olağanüstü oyunculuk uyumu sayesinde endüstride eşine az rastlanır bir kariyere imza attı. Curtis, uzun yıllar boyunca Latin Amerikalı, Arap, Hintli, Çeçen ve daha birçok farklı etnik kökenden karaktere inandırıcı bir şekilde hayat vererek Hollywood'un en başarılı "bukalemun" karakter oyuncularından biri oldu. "Üç Kral" (Three Kings) (1999), "Blow" (2001), Denzel Washington'a eşlik ettiği suç gerilimi "İlk Gün" (Training Day) (2001), bilimkurgu filmi "Gün Işığı" (Sunshine) (2007) ve aksiyon klasiği "Zor Ölüm 4" (Live Free or Die Hard) (2007) gibi dev bütçeli yapımlarda kilit roller üstlendi.

Sinemadaki istikrarlı başarısının yanı sıra televizyon dünyasında da büyük bir etki yaratan yetenekli aktör, popüler kıyamet sonrası dizisi "Fear the Walking Dead"de (2015-2017) canlandırdığı ana karakter Travis Manawa ile dünya çapında geniş bir hayran kitlesi edindi. Son yıllarda stüdyoların dev aksiyon projelerinde sıkça boy gösteren Curtis; "Meg: Derinlerdeki Dehşet" (The Meg) (2018), "Hızlı ve Öfkeli: Hobbs ve Shaw" (Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw) (2019) ve "Reminiscence" (2021) gibi gişe filmlerinde yer aldı.

Kariyerinin en epik ve dönüm noktası niteliğindeki rolünü ise usta yönetmen James Cameron'ın gişe rekorları kıran destanı "Avatar: Suyun Yolu" (Avatar: The Way of Water) (2022) ile elde etti. Bu devasa görsel şölende okyanus klanı Metkayina'nın lideri Tonowari karakterine hayat veren Cliff Curtis, sadece kendi yeteneğini taçlandırmakla kalmayıp serinin vizyona girecek diğer devam filmlerinde de rol almak üzere anlaşma sağlamış ve uluslararası sinema endüstrisindeki saygın konumunu sağlamlaştırmıştır.

title: Saving Grace - Te Whakarauora Tangata

overview: Saving Grace - Te Whakarauora Tangata is the final work of director Merata Mita, who passed away suddenly before the film could be completed. The film addresses some of the deepest and most distressing issues Māori communities face, and shows how extraordinary creative solutions are being provided by Māori communities themselves. Mita asks Maori men to front up to some grim realities by talking openly and honestly about the violence and abuse that has plagued their communities for many years. The film is a personal response to this violence, with Mita making a case for a return to an older model of Maori manhood, when men were the ones who sweetly sang the children to sleep. “Merata intended the documentary to count in ways that mattered deeply to her and to change perceptions of abuse and violence by using themes of responsibility, redemption, revitalisation, forgiveness and, most of all, love.” - Carol Hirschfeld, Māori Television.
