Welcome, viewers!

My name, Gregor Alun McLennan, embraces my ethnic extraction, that being very much one of Anglo-Saxon or Celtic origin.

Now living in Wellington with wife (May-Ana Tirikatene-Sullivan) and daughter (Hunter Mercedes Tirikatene-McLennan, born Feb 21, 2007), it was in Auckland where I underwent extensive study to become a professional actor. It is a return to my origins as I was formerly raised in the suburb of Linden up the motorway from the capital, from the ages of 0 - 12 years, before the family became ensconced in Dunedin (my age 12 - 24 years). I resided in Auckland from the ages of 24 - 36 years.

Following my attendance at Otago Boys' High School in Dunedin, I studied at the University of Otago from 1988-92, obtaining a degree in Physical Education and progressing through two-thirds of an Arts degree (majoring in Education).

My parents, Ross and Geraldine, are true Dunedinites, having run an accommodation business from home since the early nineties. My father is a retired policeman, my mother a current employee at the University's Quality Advancement unit. My sister, Jeannie, and her family shifted from Auckland in 2002, as did my younger brother, Rob, and his family from Sydney late in 2005. My older brother, Jamie, resides in Melbourne. Suffice to say, I visit Dunedin frequently! Rob, indeed, constructed this very web page!

Among my interests and passions, the fact I was an age-grade representative cricketer underscores a continued zeal for sports generally. Regarding the arts, I have an eclectic taste in music, a strong appetite for film, theatre, reading, music and writing, as well as dance. Not having shied away from the occasional Salsa class (one of the characters I portrayed was of the very kind) and discotheque opportunities, I also wish to follow up on preliminary night class forays into the study of languages (Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, German, Russian...). Yours truly admits to seeing the karaoke arena as a valid entree into the world of song. Additionally, I continue to hone various American, British and European dialects.

As an actor, I enjoy the respective disciplines of stage and screen mediums and relish the opportunity to flex my creative muscle in either, so as to challenge and reinforce the integrity of my craft to the greatest extent possible.

Thanks for taking a look,

Gregor.
