Sam Neill in Jurassic Park III (2001) SAM NEILL (Dr. Alan Grant) Based in New Zealand, Irish-born Sam Neill is recognized internationally for his work in film and television. His highly eclectic feature film credits include Bi centennial Man with Robin Williams, The Horse Whisperer with Robert Redford and Kristen Scott Thomas, Children of the Revolution with Judy Davis, and Restoration alongside Robert Downey, Jr., Meg Ryan and Hugh Grant. He had previously starred opposite Grant as controversial Australian artist Norman Lindsay in John Duigan's Sirens. Neill's profile skyrocketed in 1993 with his roles in Steven Spielberg's Jurassic Park and Jane Campion's The Piano. The Piano won the Palme D'Or at the Cannes Film Festival and the Australian Film Institute (A.F.l.) prize as Best Picture. Neill was named New Zealand Entertainer of the Year in 1993 and received the Order of the British Empire (O.B.E.) honor for Services to Acting, as well as an A.F.I. nomination. His film credits also include The Hunt for Red October with Sean Connery, Dead Calm opposite Nicole Kidman, and My Brilliant Career with Judy Davis. He starred opposite Meryl Streep in two films for director Fred Schepisi, A Cry in the Dark and Plenty. He collected the A.F.I. Award as Best Actor for Plenty.
