Alongside the famous Kiwi cast, US Suits actor Rick Hoffman, who stars as lawyer Louis Litt will feature as a lawyer in a rugby themed video.

Air New Zealand General Manager Global Brand & Content Marketing Jodi Williams says when Hoffman insisted on becoming the airline’s spokesperson it became clear he was going to be a fantastic ambassador for the next safety video.

"Rick’s on and offscreen personality is infectious and goes hand in hand with the character of our tongue-in-cheek safety videos. He was fantastic to have on set and we had so much fun teaching him the ‘Kiwi’ way of doing things."

The video comes ahead of the Rugby World Cup which kicks off on September 20.
