I was very tempted to say the same thing when i saw him, he certainally does look a fair match for the guy seen in the set photos but there was one thing that confused me about him.
I was trying to find an official online resume for him by looking up his agency/management website using the fanmail.biz directory, and yet whilst he is listed on there (as an actress for some reason) his agency contact links through to a page for a "Tamati Patuwai", who looks very similar, and has pretty much all the same credits as listed for "Tamati Rice/Tamati Te Nehotu on IMDB. The profile for "Tamati Patuwai" states his height to be only 5 foot 10, which means he couldn't possibly be the guy playing the minotaur, but when you search for "Tamati Patuwai" on google, all the pages it brings up all agree that he is the same person as Tamati Rice/Tamati Te Nehotu. e.g.
here. I guess its possible that IMDB has mistakenly combined the credits of two different actors onto the same page, and that everyone else has just taken its lead from there, or perhaps he is the right guy, but he isnt as short as his profile says. Either way, im thoroughly confused.
I was half wondering whether or not the "Jemain" part of his character name was related to his real name (as with Chris Cruickshank's character, and many of the extras on PC e.g. Lord Montoya). I wouldn't of thought it would be a "proper" character name like Tavros and Caprius seemingly are (though Asterius and Tyrus never had their names used in PC, and i wouldnt expect these to be any different), though of course, the "Jemain" bit could be a cast in-joke like "Randy the Faun" (incidently, i wonder if the fact that he was also a "Random Faun" in PC had a part to play in that joke). Anyway, to finally end, here is a picture of Morgan Evans
