We were deeply saddened to hear of the passing of Sam Neill. An extraordinary actor, a true gentleman, and someone who brought warmth, wit and effortless charm to every conversation.
During our 2016 interview for Hunt for the Wilderpeople, it didn't take long before Sam and Julian Dennison had us all laughing. From Sam joking, "I'm too sexy for my microphone," to the pair getting completely sidetracked discussing Julian's Adidas ZX Flux trainers, it was one of those wonderfully unfiltered moments that perfectly captured Sam's mischievous sense of humour.
He had an incredible ability to make everyone around him feel at ease, turning even a simple chat about shoes into something memorable.
Thank you for the laughter, the unforgettable performances, and the kindness you shared both on and off screen.
Rest easy, Sam. You'll be greatly missed. ❤️
