Olivia Tennet

Olivia Tennet is an actor, born 1991.

Most of Olivia Tennet's work has stayed in New Zealand, which is why the record here is short. At home she is a familiar face from the nightly medical drama Shortland Street, where she played Tuesday Warner, alongside a run of television and theatre. She is a dancer as well as an actress.

Outside New Zealand she is known for three things. There is a child role as Freda in The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers, then Power Rangers RPM in 2009, then the independent film Blood Punch, where she plays Skyler and gets more to do than in the other two put together. The rest of what we hold is genre supporting work: a small part in Boogeyman, Delphine Hansen on The Almighty Johnsons, Siouxsie on 800 Words.

Five credits is not a career, it is the slice of a career that travelled. Worth knowing before you judge the filmography.

Where to start with Olivia Tennet

There is not much here, so be honest about it: Blood Punch is the title to start with, an independent film rather than a bit part in someone else's, and the only place in this catalogue where she is asked to do more than react.

After that the choice is between curiosity and completeness. The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers is the credit everyone recognises and the one that will disappoint you most, because it is a child's role in an enormous film. The Almighty Johnsons is the better use of an evening, a New Zealand series with the kind of deadpan her home television does well, and 800 Words is the gentler companion to it.

Leave Boogeyman for last. It is a bit part in a film that does not need her.
