I don't seem to see her in the credits. Has she been in anything else?

Tioreore Ngatai-Melbourne. From my understanding, she was a local teenager who auditioned for the part. I don't think she has been in anything else.

Man I wouldn't have given this dude that much information. Kind of a weird request don't you think?

Only weird if that's where your mind goes...

your tone seems very pointed right now.

How old is she? I'm asking for a friend. He's not allowed to use computers anymore.

All I'm saying is that if this girl turns out to be abducted, we know who the number 1 suspect is

I wish there would be some kind of movie database here on the internet so you can search this kind of stuff.

TRIVIA:

An open casting call was held for a 12 to 15 year-old Maori girl to play the role of Kahu, with Tioreore Ngatai-Melbourne selected out of 150 applicants. Ngatai-Melbourne auditioned after her friends thought the character description of Kahu sounded like her.
