To say Sam Neill has had a busy year is putting it mildly. He opened 2020 playing Phil O'Brien as guest star on Matinee Idle. After that, he shot off to the UK as a rather better paid guest star on the blockbuster Jurassic World. And then Covid happened. You'd think that would be the end of Sam's year - but he became an online sensation in his enforced downtime. As well as short films with ropey continuity, and poetry readings in his own unique style, he also managed to pick up a gong - rather a classy one. Sam Neill, Icon of the Arts Foundation. Oh, and he topped the box-office at home two weeks in a row with the hit movie Rams. Sam is currently locked down in Auckland and joins Simon Morris to talk about a surprisingly busy 2020.
