"Bad Ass Mofo": Cliff Curtis


Actor Cliff Curtis was born Clifford Vivian Devon Curtis in New Zealand. I dare you to make fun of the fact that Vivian is one of his middle names. Go ahead. Oh, I didn’t tell you that he was of Māori descent? If you don’t know what that is, its pretty much our version of Samoans. You never fuck with Samoans. Māori are like Samoans times four. So don’t make fun of his name. Cliff Curtis is this weeks Bad Ass Mofo.


The first time I ever saw him I thought he looked interesting but thought he was some form of Middle Eastern. Turns out I was wrong and that he plays almost every other race in films. Iraqi, Russian, Columbian, and Latino. And this guy pulls it off every single fucking time!


Even if you don’t know his name you know his face. He’s been in movies like Training Day, The Piano, Sunshine, Three Kings, Collateral Damage, Blow, and Live Free Or Die Hard. Here’s a bunch of images of him playing multiple races. Be prepared to have your taint blown right off!





He’s been producing films for years and one was even nominated for an Academy Award. This guy has been dependable in films even when the films suck ass. I have seen this guy in person once and he is a gorgeous man. It was at a barbecue festival in Santa Monica and I was like “Holy shit its Smilie from Training Day!” This guy will be a BAM for life.
