He is a lucky man, would be a shame to have lost him so soon, a truly great actor not only on the world stage, but especially for what he has contributed to the NZ film industry.

He's been in a lot of good movies.

I think the first thing I saw him in was Sleeping dogs, decades ago & then the Hanlon series. He's seriously good.

first thing I remember him in was Hunt for Red October, alongside Sean Connery. Awesome film...

Nothing to do with Sam Neill, but if you want to see a good movie with a New Zealand setting try,
In My Father's Den - https://www.google.com/search?client=firefox-b-e&q=in+my+father%27s+den
I have nothing but praise for this movie and it has a song by Kiri Te Kanawa which is absolutely haunting in it.

I've seen that, think I may have also have read the book quite a while back. I think Kiwi authors are really too often under rated; found a secondhand copy of Craig Marriner's Southern style which I'll read again when I finsih the library books - read it years ago & enjoyed it.

That looks like an exciting book to me but as I've got older I find myself not as mentally resilient as I used to be and find nowadays I don't like to read much as I find I dream in an uncontrolled way and need to be careful what I'm inputting into my mind.

I think perhaps I'm lucky in that I seldom remember my dreams (the last one I remembered was a sort of warning for one of the DIL's) but I could always recall them years ago so it might just be a getting older thing for me.
