Steve Whittle
Real life journalist David Farrier (Tickled) is on a quest to find the everyday New Zealander, the stalwart of our community, in this mockumentary series. He meets seven of these so called “Short Poppies,” a diverse group of unique individuals all played by comedy tour de force, Rhys Darby (Flight of the Conchords, Hunt for the Wilderpeople, Yes Man). Meet Steve Whittle. Steveʼs narcolepsy prevents him holding down a job which has gifted him the opportunity to become a full time UFO-ologist after a series of "out of this world" experiences. He holds a support group at the local library for people who have experienced alien contact and runs a hotline through which he gathers information on encounters.
