Jan. 16: Imposter Alert: Craig informs me through my contact that there is an imposter at Facebook.com. The page is set up to appear to be him, but it isn't. Please be aware that Craig has no page on either MySpace or Facebook.

Dec 25:Lingalad, the folk group who played at the Gathering of the Fellowship, have released a biography in Italian. It includes messages from both Craig Parker and Bruce Hopkins.
Lead singer and founder, Giuseppe Festa(edited for English by Jmsstxynyes):
"The Biography book about Lingalad has been released. Well, it's in Italian, but there are more than 200 color pictures and a CD with the best of the band. There are also some very nice writings from Craig Parker and Bruce Hopkins...if you want to learn a bit of Italian!!! To order a copy, send an email for more info to info@lingalad.com
Grazie e BUON NATALEEEEEE!!!!!!"

All information on this site is true to the best of my knowledge and is confirmed before it is posted.

Taken from Craig Parker- Speakers New Zealand. From around 2003:

It can be expected that his newly won fame will not change Craig as a private person. He already has experienced the fact that the press sometimes tends to alter stories and quotes as they see fit.
"A quote can be made to mean anything and in their photo sections there's a lot of innuendo. When that first happens you worry about how people who don't know the situation will read it, how your family will be affected by it", he says. This is why, as Craig puts it, he handles the media with a good deal of "healthy distrust".
"It really pays to keep your private self for the people you like and love. It does me no favours at all to reveal my personal life to people who read magazines."

This site is set up to learn more of Craig Parker's projects by an American fan of his and to give a little insight to the actor behind the screen character of Haldir and his many other roles on the stage, screen, and debating stage. Though I do know Craig and he knows me, I am not in direct contact with him as I am with Bruce Hopkins. All information contained on this site is confirmed before being posted.

If you want to contact Craig for official business or send him a fan letter, his contact address/agent is:

Craig Parker
c/o Karen Kay Management
PO Box 446
Auckland 1
NEW ZEALAND

(For a response from a fan letter, you should send a self addressed stamped envelope with return postage. Don't expect a fast response as Craig gets busy, but he will try to respond when he can. He does say he still recieves the letters from his agent when he visits New Zealand.)

The first time I saw Craig was in the stage play Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead, May 2001.

Please keep in mind that Craig does not ever go to fansites, chatrooms, message boards nor does he email his fans(he will snail mail a fan letter response when he has the time). If anyone claims to be him within a chatroom, email or message board it is an imposter. I know Craig and he doesn't have time to go to sites on him and he really does not like to read things on himself. The only time he has done a chat was for the Fellowship Festival convention on their official site.

A little about Craig:

Craig Parker was born in Suva, Fiji(South Pacific island), November 12, 1970. He resided in New Zealand where he worked as an actor and debating team member on various celebrity debates.

They are e-mailing people who leave e-mail addresses in their posts in my guestbook, along with forums and other Craig sites. Apparently this person is claiming to be Craig and says they are filming a movie in Africa and would like to come and visit you for a day and to send him money. DO NOT SEND THIS PERSON MONEY!

"Fiji blazed on, words coup were still pronounced with a 'p' and used to keep chickens in it.""What need did we have of marriage, we had tans.""Suddenly the cry of sanctity of marriage echoed across the land. Banished were the 'Young and the Restless', 'The Bold and the Beautiful'. And so, 'The Days of Our Lives' were changed forever. Coincidentally enough, it was the same time my parents decided to come to New Zealand. In a decision I can only put down to a hurried, late night flight and too many gins, my parents decided to settle in Glenfield. Here, the story might very well ended. Me, doomed to a life of suburban mediocricy, married with 2.4 children, with only the remains of a fading tan, my fire extinguished forever. However, destiny, she moves in mysterious ways. For it was here I met my great life teacher, my wise woman, my mentor, Rachel Hunter.""We settled into our classroom, remidial woodwork, I working on my spice rack, Rachel working out what a ruler did."- Craig Parker, Great Comedy Debate 1999 (It is better to marry than to burn, negative team) from audio tape bought from the Northshore Libraries Foundation.
