“Avatar The Way of Water” Actor Duane Evans Jr Wiki | Bio

Duane Evans Jr. (born on September 5, 2003) is a 19-year-old Aukland-born actor who gained fame from his performance as Michael Hampton-Rees in the TV series “Shortland Street.” He was also in the Netflix drama “Sweet Tooth” as Rhino. Recently he joined the cast of adventure stuffed comedy-drama “Duckrockers,” which aired on TVNZ+ on November 2.

Currently, this young actor has been hovering in the headlines because he starred in James Cameron’s highly anticipated film “Avatar: The Way of Water.” In making this masterpiece, the makers spent $350 million, which is even more than the first part.

There is an estimation that the movie will earn above $2 billion, which considering how well the first part performed, does not look like an unachievable target.
