O'Brian would become a significant star in the cult film world, starring in 8 features over 10 years in Indonesia, before dropping off the map. But he's back now - at least sort of - as the New Zealand based team behind Operation Rambu have discovered O'Brian back home in New Zealand and ready to make a return to the big screen.
