Stopping traffic

Cliff Curtis earns praise across the Tasman for his gritty performance in Traffic: The Miniseries. Australian: “By far the best performance is from Maori actor Cliff Curtis. His dark complexion means he is slated for the ethnic roles in Hollywood  so far he has been Hispanic in Training Day, Colombian in Blow and Arab in Three Kings. Here he’s an unhappy, illegal Chechen cab driver, Adam Kadyrov, whose dogged search for his missing wife and child induces a high level of sympathy and anxiety.”
