After making his mark on Kiwi culture as Munter in Outrageous Fortune, Tammy Davis has remained one of Aotearoa’s most charming stars. When the Weekly chats to Tammy over the phone from his home in Auckland’s Point Chevalier, it’s like catching up with an old friend as he jokes he’s going to be in trouble with his wife for not mowing the lawns.
So, when the affable Tammy signed up to play a gang leader in the Shortland Street special summer series Retribution, he was apprehensive about being able to pull off the dark role.
“To tell you the truth, I was really nervous,” he admits. “There were a couple of moments where I really thought I couldn’t do it. I was doubting my ability, especially because I haven’t been doing a lot of acting recently.”
But his old friend and former co-star Oliver Driver, who now serves as a producer on Shortland Street, gave Tammy, 47, the confidence boost he needed to make the role his own.
“He said, ‘Dude, you’ve got this. You’re amazing and the reason we cast you is because you’ve got the skills to do this.’ He had a lot of faith in me.”
