Sam Neill

Sir Nigel John Dermot "Sam" Neill (lahir 14 September 1947) adalah seorang aktor Selandia Baru. Kariernya mencakup peran utama dalam drama dan film blockbuster. Dianggap sebagai "pemeran utama internasional", ia dianggap sebagai salah satu aktor paling serba bisa di generasinya.

Lahir di Irlandia Utara dari ibu berkebangsaan Inggris dan ayah berkebangsaan Selandia Baru, Neill pindah ke Christchurch bersama keluarganya pada tahun 1954. Ia pertama kali mendapat pengakuan dengan penampilannya dalam film Sleeping Dogs (1977), yang diikuti dengan peran utama dalam My Brilliant Career (1979), Omen III: The Final Conflict, Possession (keduanya tahun 1981), Evil Angels (juga dikenal sebagai A Cry in the Dark) (1988), Dead Calm (1989), The Hunt For Red October (1990), The Piano (1993), dan In the Mouth of Madness (1994). Ia menjadi terkenal secara internasional sebagai Dr. Alan Grant di Jurassic Park (1993), mengulang peran di Jurassic Park III (2001) dan Jurassic World Dominion (2022).

Di luar film, Neill telah muncul di banyak serial televisi sebagai peran tamu dan berulang, termasuk Reilly, Ace of Spies (1983), The Simpsons (1994), The Tudors (2007), Crusoe (2008–2010), Happy Town (2010), Alcatraz (2012), dan Rick and Morty (2019). Ia juga berperan sebagai karakter utama Merlin di Merlin (1998) dan Merlin's Apprentice (2006), dan sebagai Mayor Chester Campbell dalam dua seri pertama Peaky Blinders (2013–2014). Dia telah mempresentasikan dan menarasikan beberapa film dokumenter.

Neill adalah penerima AACTA Award untuk Aktor Terbaik dalam Peran Utama, Longford Lyell Award, New Zealand Film Award, dan Logie Award untuk Aktor Paling Berprestasi. Dia juga memiliki tiga nominasi Golden Globe dan dua Primetime Emmy Award. Dia memenangkan Silver Logie untuk Aktor Paling Populer di Logies 2023.
