  • He was phenomenal in 1981's Possession.

  • the sexiest smile I've ever seen

  • Seriously to me, Jurrasic Park 2 was bad because there's no Dr Alan Grant

  • @chlonn2cute4u wat do u mean like kiwi accent or american accent

  • He plays The best character in Jurassic Park hands down

  • Sam is on of my all time favourite actors. He was simply magic in 'In the Mouth of Madness'.

  • The first time I ever saw him was in the movie "Omen III: The Final Conflict" as Damien. His acting was so convincing that I believed he really was born of a jackel.

  • Its funny how sam neil speaks of convincing tourism companies to fund their projects. John Laing convinced the Guam government to loan him 800,000 as collateral to a bank to make a movie with Albert Pyun of all people! Apparently the pitch was that the film would bring more tourists to the island of guam. Anyway, being a Pyun directed film, the film flopped and defaulted on the loan. Now Laing is being sued

  • I've been in love with him since I was a kid and i saw Jurassic Park

  • Jurassic park 4 needs you an Jeff Goldblum back man....You were the only good thing in JP3, it didn't help that i had to watch them kill the T-Rex an send me into therapy LOL
