Roles Without Accent


I have only seen Manu in Spartacus and Arrow. Are there roles of his without the Australian accent?

I was trying to figure his accent out. Definitely sounds both Aussie and kiwi at times. I saw a quote on here regarding how rough it was in a Maori boys boarding school - so it would seem he did spend some of his formative years in NZ, hence the kiwi accent.

He regularly says words like "chance" sounding like "charnce" - he wouldn't consciously put that on, only southern Britain or NZ sound like that.
