I first saw Sam Neill in 1981, when my best friend and I went to see The Final Conflict at our local movie theatre. I remember thinking that the man playing Damien was incredibly good-looking, but I didn't see him on screen again for years. Then in February of 1987 I saw the Amerika mini-series on television. That was when Sam Neill became my absolute favorite actor! I started searching all the video stores in my small college town and managed to find many of his earlier films such as Sleeping Dogs, My Brilliant Career and Attack Force Z. Then after seeing him in a television movie called Leap of Faith in 1988, I managed to track down his agent's name and address and wrote Sam a really pathetic gushy fan letter. I still cringe to think of what I might have said in that thing. I also made the 70+ mile trip to the next biggest city to see him in A Cry in the Dark and Dead Calm. I've now seen over 90 of his films/television projects and while it would be impossible to pick a favorite, the Amerika mini-series still holds a special place in my heart.

Over the years I have been lucky enough to get my hands on numerous items relating to Sam, including books, movie programs, magazines, glossy photos, etc. This web page is my way of sharing some of it with other Sam Neill fans.

I hope you enjoy your visit to my site!

Love and Peace!
