	Sam Neill's Early Years
		Sam's father, Dermot Neill, was an officer in the Royal Irish Fusiliers, and although he may not have been involved in an event as well known as Sam's great-great grandfather's burning of Washington, he served his country, New Zealand, honourably.
		Sam's is an appealing mix of both of his parent's characters and one can detect the influence of a mixture of both environments in which he was reared.
		Sam began to contemplate how he should handle his situation, and he concluded that 'to avoid being knocked around I wanted to become a radically different person very quickly...that is to say, an instant New Zealander.' 'Nigel' began to exclusively use 'Sam' as his primary name.

		Sam Neill may spend most of Jurassic Park shifting from wide-eyed wonder to wide-eyed terror as paleontologist Alan Grant, but privately the New Zealander with newfound star status considers Jurassic a terrific comedy.
		I'm a sucker for it.'' Neill, 45, used to be known for his sensitive portrayals of sensitive guys- the thinking-woman's sex symbol.
		Whether Neill means larger Hollywood-scale heroics to please the Spielbergian boy within or yet more intensely precise portraits of the male psyche, he isn't saying.

		In a stroke of inspired casting Jurassic Park's Sam Neill (no stranger to acting alongside CGI effects) is our earthbound anchor, and he takes the viewer on journeys across the universe in each half-hour segment, thanks to some nifty special effects.
		I think Sam Neill has the perfect voice for a series such as this and the only thing i can fault is the lack of extras on the dvd.

	Meg's Boyfriend: Sam Neill (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		The good news is, Sam Neill is in it and he's kind of funny.
		Because not only is Sam Neill a very talented actor (from dino-scientist to Russian sub guy, to Merlin, and back to dino-scientist!), he's also cute as the dickins (not the Charles Dickins) and, topping it all off, strikes me as a supremely gentle person.
		The first, which is also the most promising-sounding, is called "The Zookeeper." In it, Sam plays an eastern European whose boring life as a custodian at the local zoo takes a sudden turn when an imposing civil war causes the staff of the zoo to flee, leaving him in charge of the whole place.

		Go see "The Final Conflict." Sam Neill is indisputably the most frightening, insidious character in any movie I've ever seen (with the exception of that terrifying bald woman who played Satan in "The Passion").
		Sam Neill, a versatile British character actor who can usually be counted on to create top - notch roles, is wooden as Damien.
		Neill was just getting his feet wet in America when he signed on for this, the third installment in the lucrative horror saga, so he can be allowed a lousy film or two.

	Amazon.com: Merlin: DVD: Sam Neill,Miranda Richardson,Helena Bonham Carter,Martin Short,John Gielgud,Paul Curran ... (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		Sam Neill plays Merlin as an accessible, flesh-and-blood fellow of real passion, powerless to undo the spell of a rival (Rutger Hauer) who has virtually imprisoned Merlin's great love, Nimue (Isabella Rossellini), but gifted enough to counter the treachery of Morgan Le Fey (Helena Bonham Carter) and the wicked Queen Mab (Miranda Richardson).
		Sam Neill is fine as Merlin but he always seems a little too calm in his roles in my opinion.
		The special effects are really quite nicely done and there are many lovely scenes which add to a magical feel (especially Mab's cave and the look of the Lady of the Lake wearing little living fish as a necklace) but it's the story that really draws one in.
