This guy is cute, no matter who he’s playing. I hope this means there will be lots of other good-looking men in the movie!

I think he is the third young male actor in the cast mentioned in this thread that I suspect is playing one of the ranch hands. They are more a group than individuals, tho. There is a scene in which the men talk about Phil and one of them dares to ask if he had shown any interest in women in the past. He is immediately scolded by one of the old men. Actually the old man is mentioned a few times. There is another scene in which they torture birds; it's mentioned they like to go to the town to spend all their money in prostitutes and, of course, they are homophobic bullies. A group of real gentlemen!
Apart of the old man, there is another man who kind stand out. He is a convict who confesses his crime to Phil. And Phil clearly has some feelings for him. On the surface, it seems to be just respect and admiration for doing such a good work as a mower. The "respect" is such that Phil doesn't care that he is a murderer! Anyway, as if they were lovers, the man promises to Phil that he will come back next year but he never does. It's suggested that Phil is hurt or at least affected by this. He prefers to believe that he is dead or in jail than to think he just "betrayed" him. It's a brief segment in the book so probably it won't be included in the adaptation, who knows? I think the anecdote could be just a way of showing Phil sincere respect and fidelity for his workers or as another reminder of his "unlawful" sexuality. The book is just very subtle! Anyway, I think the character is called Joe so it's not played by any of these young actors. At least his surname is Cricket or something!

Actress Tatum Warren-Ngata's name was added to IMDb. It says she is playing Libby. I don't think there is a character called Libby in the book. Probably a small role.

They must be nearly done filming by now. I wonder if they’ll all go home now or stay in NZ for a while, considering the virus is rampant in the UK & non-existent where they are?

They are exactly in the middle of the three weeks. Next week should be the last one!
His people claimed they would return immediately after he finish the movie. We will see!

Stephen Lovatt plays Doctor. www.kractors.co.nz/Stephen%20~LovattJohnny, Rose's husband, is a doctor but I guess he would be named! Most probably it could be a doctor attending Phil at the end. Ironically the fact that they, the rich ranchers, used to go with respected doctors out of town ruined local doctor Johnny but years later also causes Phil's death because by then the only local doctor, Johnny, was dead... by suicide after Phil bullied him!

From imdb, Maeson Stone Skuggedal plays Shoshone Boy. In other words, Adam Beach's son ( at least he plays another Shoshone Boy who I don't plays with Beach's kid or something but in the book that's the only Shoshone kid!)
