Sam Neill
Born September 14, 1947 - Omagh, Ireland
Born in Ireland but raised in New Zealand, this "strong but sensitive" actor made a number of excellent movies in the Australian cinema before coming to the attention of the rest of the world, primarily through the English TV series Reilly, Ace of Spies. After working on this project, he moved back to Australia in the late '80s. Now he works for film companies all over the world.
He has homes in California, Australia, and New Zealand, and a vineyard in Otago. His wine is a Pinot Noir called "Two Paddocks". Interestingly, he has no home there, but the state of Montana figures prominently with three main characters in different movies: The Hunt for Red October, The Horse Whisperer, and Jurassic Park.
Personal Quote: (referring to his voice role in The Simpsons): "I'm playing a cat burglar. I've made it. This is the high point of my career. I'm really chuffed."
