A transparently lovely man, with a life hectically well lived MAIL ON SUNDAY__________For over forty years, Sam Neills name has been a reassuring mark of quality. With starring roles in hit movies like Dead Calm , The Hunt for Red October , The Piano and Jurassic Park , Sams work has taken him from arthouse to blockbuster, and from cult classics to TV hits like Peaky Blinders . Few actors have proved as versatile, nor so well-loved.Born in 1947 in Northern Ireland, Sam emigrated to New Zealand with his close-knit family at the age of seven. At school in Christchurch he discovered he was hopeless at sport, but loved acting.Following a breakthrough role in Gillian Armstrongs My Brilliant Career in 1979, Sam found his way, sometimes by accident, to his own brilliant career and Hollywoods A-list, working alongside a stellar list of actors, writers and directors. In Did I Ever Tell You This? he invites you in, sharing stories from an extraordinary life with charm, honesty, good humour, and a wry appreciation of the absurd.Moving and often laugh-out-loud funny, this is the inspirational story of a man who, when life knocks him down, stands up again.
