Did I Ever Tell You
This?
A Memoir
By Sam Neill.
Published by Penguin
Books Ltd.
Published 2023 / updated

ISBN-10: 140595745X
ISBN-13: 978-1405957458
Description:
In this unexpected
memoir, written in a creative burst of just a few months in 2022, Sam Neill
tells the story of how he became one of the world’s most celebrated actors, who
has worked with everyone from Meryl Streep to Isabel Adjani, from Jeff Goldblum
to Sean Connery, from Steven Spielberg to Jane Campion.
By his own account, his
career has been a series of unpredictable turns of fortune. Born in 1947 in
Northern Ireland, he emigrated to New Zealand at the age of seven. His family
settled in Dunedin on the South Island, but young Sam was sent away to boarding
school in Christchurch, where he was hopeless at sports and discovered he
enjoyed acting.
But how did you become
an actor in New Zealand in the 1960 and 1970s where there was no film industry?
After university he made documentary films while also appearing in occasional
amateur productions of Shakespeare. In 1977 he took the lead in Sleeping Dogs,
the first feature made in New Zealand in more than a decade, a project that led
to a major role in Gillian Armstrong’s celebrated My Brilliant Career.
