Life and career
Kircher is married to Nicole Chesterman Kircher and they have four daughters.
Kircher lied about his age when applying to Toi Whakaari, the New Zealand Drama School, so he was only 18 when he graduated two years later.
In the late 1990s, Kircher shifted his focus away from acting toward production singing, and executive management. In 2003, he went into partnership to form ScreenAdventures, a movie company. He returned to acting in 2006 in the film Out of the Blue which was based on the true story of the Aramoana massacre. Kircher appeared in the film adaptations of The Hobbit as the dwarf Bifur.
