  • Bruce passes along this info:"I am in Toa Fraser's new film "My Talks with Dean Spanely" starring Sam Neill and Peter O'Toole, which apparently got a huge reception at the Toronto Festival. I also just shot a scene in Jonathon King's film "Under the Mountain".

  • Bruce wrote:"The last film I did was a low ( very low!!! ) budget thriller on the gold coast of Australia called
    The film features a reknowned US wrestler Scott Levy "Raven". I got asked to do it by one of the producers who is a friend of my australian nephew Jed Cahill, who by the way is achieving incredible results with both his short film festival and film making education programme that he takes on the road across australia, out to outback areas etc. He has driven the whole thing himself and is in fact at a pivotal point for his future direction as money is also something he has to address. Despite having Jack Thompson as his patron and receivng massive accolades for all he is doing he finds paying the bills a challenge. This is a bit of an aside but check out his set up on http://www.inthebin.net.au/welcome/page1.php

Gidday, and welcome to this web site.
My name is Bruce Hopkins,
(in fact Raymond Bruce Hopkins, however not even my parents, Bill and Coe, call me Raymond, so Bruce it is!).
This web site was created in 2003 to respond to interest in my work as an actor, in particular my role of Gamling in Peter Jackson's trilogy of films based on JRR Tolkien's renowned book, 'The Lord Of The Rings'.
I have however, been around the thespionic scene in New Zealand for many moons, and so my resume in fact includes such shows as the acclaimed American tele features 'Murder in Greenwich', and 'Ike: Days Of Thunder'. There are also numerous appearances in various television series including 'Xena', 'Hercules' and 'Lawless'.
On stage, young Willie Shakespeare's ‘MacBeth’, Steven Berkoff's ‘East’ and ‘West’, and a number of shows with the world renowned Inside-Out Productions team of Mike Mizrahi and Mari Adams, are particular highlights of a now 20 year career.
I will endeavour to keep in touch by updating this site, so feel free to pop in from time to time. With the aid of the wonderful webmaster Janet Sella we will post photos etc. from fan conventions etc.

Cheers and thanks for dropping by, feel free to let other people know about the site, and if you have time check out a new venture I am taking part in, creating webcasts for websites with a company called The Radio Agency, to check it out click here.
