Sam Neill

I'm not a big movie goer, and my usual manner of watching them is one that is not available at the moment (See the 'Foreign Travel this Year' thread in the Lounge), so I have missed more of his films than I have seen. I did see him in the 1980s TV series Riley Ace of Spies, and I think that was the first of his roles I had seen. Still, he is such an iconic actor in both of these two counties at the bottom of the world, I looked forward to last night's Australian Story episode that featured him.

 

 

He tweeted this today after the program aired:

It's an interesting self-deprecatory note that his twitter bio is 'Proprietor of TwoPaddocks - in the cheering up business since 1993. Also seen acting on occasion', he refers to his Otago winery first rather than his acting career.

I think I once saw him be a dinner guest on Annabel Langbein's cooking show.
