The man accused of the hit-and-run killing of a former child actor turned 501 deportee can now be named.
Wiremu Gray appeared in the Waitākere District Court on Thursday morning, where no application for name suppression was made.
Gray, 42, is charged with failing to stop to ascertain injury or death following a crash and careless driving causing death.
Lionel Allan, who decades ago starred as Matt Te Ahi in the TV series Being Eve, died on Friday night shortly after he was found with critical injuries in the West Auckland suburb of Henderson.
Gray did not enter a plea and is set to appear in court again later in October.
He was remanded on bail.
