John Tui was born on June 11, 1975, in Auckland, New Zealand, marking the beginning of a remarkable journey in the entertainment industry.
Before gaining widespread recognition, John played the role of Bones in an episode of the popular New Zealand television series "Mataku". However, it was his breakout role in the hit children's television series "Power Rangers S.P.D." as Commander Anubis 'Doggie' Cruger, the S.P.D. Shadow Ranger, that truly catapulted him to fame.
John's impressive performance in "Power Rangers S.P.D." was notable not only because of his exceptional acting skills but also because he was the only actor in the series to play both the voice actor and the suit actor of Doggie Cruger.
In the subsequent season of Power Rangers, "Power Rangers Mystic Force", John returned to the franchise to play Daggeron, the Solaris Knight. This remarkable role made John the only actor to portray the role of two different mentors that were also Power Rangers.
After his time on Power Rangers, John moved on to the hit New Zealand soap Opera series "Shortland Street", where he played the character: Colin 'Dollar' Laws. He also portrayed the character of Wellness Attendant #1 in the series "This is Not My Life", and Timbo in the television series "Go Girls".
John's career continued to flourish as he took on the role of Chief Petty Officer Walter 'The Beast' Lynch in an unknown series.
John's experience as Doggie Cruger on Power Rangers S.P.D. proved to be invaluable, as he was offered the role of Bolg in the beloved film franchise "The Hobbit: The Battle of Five Armies". He also played the suit actor for the character, demonstrating his versatility and range as an actor.
John has since appeared in other large film franchises, including the character Korso in "Solo: A Star Wars Story" and Kal Hobbs in "Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw". Most recently, he has had roles in New Zealand films, such as Moses in the movie "Savages", Baron To'a in "The Legend of Baron To'a", and Wade in the comedy film, "Paper Champions".
In 2021, John portrayed the character of real-life wrestler Afa Anoa'i, one of two members of the professional wrestling duo, The Wild Samoans, in the television series "Young Rock". This series tells the story of Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson's youth and being raised around his professional wrestling family.
When John is not filming, he enjoys spending time with his wife, Liyah, and their four children.
