Sam Neill, is the # 42 most connected actor of the 1990’s.
I’ve seen 16 of the 46 films on the chart. Favorites are – The Final Conflict (as Damien Thorn), Event Horizon, In the Mouth of Madness, Daybreakers, The Hunt for Red October, Jurassic Park 1 & 3, Peter Rabbit and Legend of the Guardians.
Jurassic Park conquers all, a massive hit back when Spielberg still had the midas touch.
Good stuff Bruce. Vote Up!
Hey Steve….thanks for the feedback on our Sam Neill page. Tally count….24 for me and 16 for you. Seen all your favorites….though not all of them would be on my favorites list. But I like Event Horizon, the first Jurassic Park, Hunt For Red October and Hunt for the Wilderpeople. Hunt for the Wilderpeople is hidden gem with a great performance by Neill….the young kid in that one went on to make Deadpool 2. As for Jurassic Park being number one…it is one of the biggest box office hits of all-time. I hope his part in Jurassic Park is bigger than the Goldblum cameo in Part 5. Good comment…thanks as always for sharing your movie wisdom.

Hey Dan….wow….a top 100 spot for Sam Neill…..glad I included him in the book….he was not originally going to be in that book. Fellow Aussie, Toni Collete gets the honors as most frequent Oracle co-star. When looking at the second list….21 Oscar winning co-stars seems to be on the low end…especially since he has been making a variety of movies for 6 decades. Good information as always…and as always….thank you.
Great UMR Page
Thank you Mike.
