I just love that pixie-like impish smile of his.
He’s an amazing talent. Brilliant to work with and a great person too.
And he does smell of fresh laundry with a hint of lemon and lavender when he walks past your desk…a pure breath of fresh air.
If this proves one thing, it’s that new zealand isn’t asia.
That is M&C’s loss.
Todd is one of the the great quiet achievers. M&C’s loss will another’s gain in spades.
He has the confident walk of Jean Paul Belmondo and the smouldering sexuality of Vincent Cassel. And hes just a humble kid from Oklahoma.
