Guy Williams has stopped racism in specific areas, tried to find who killed a magical dolphin, tried to help a woman who didn't get her twenty dollars back, got his underwear cleaned, and travelled all across the country of New Zealand to do so. Absolute legend mate. Chur the boy, the guy, Guy Williams.

One of my earliest memories is on holidays in Opinoni. These kids were playing on the wharf and one fell in fully clothed. My dad went straight into hero action mode and like a flash was down to his undies ready for the big rescue. Then someone goes 'it's alright he can swim'. We watched him casually swim to shore with dad standing there in his undies.
