One of New Zealand's best known film actors, Sam Neill possesses a blend of everyman ordinariness, charm and good looks that have made him an international leading man. His resume of more than 60 features includes leading roles in landmark New Zealand features Sleeping Dogs and The Piano.
I'd like to think I'm able to suggest ambiguities and complexities in the people I play, because I I think all of us have hidden aspects or contradictory qualities.
– Sam Neill, in a July 2007 Dominion Post interview
