Kiwi attitude pushed Joe Naufahu to Game of Thrones role

Joe Naufahu (Paul Henry)

Kiwi actor Joe Naufahu scored the role of a lifetime.

He plays Khal Moro, one of the Dothraki.

Joe joined Paul Henry live from Los Angeles to talk about the role.

He says he was a fan of the show, so he sent the casting agent a letter and his show reel in the hope they would take a look at it.

Within weeks he was trying on costumes and learning the Dothraki language.
