Summary
Joining us today is a man whose career has spanned continents and decades, captivating audiences both on-screen and off. He’s an award-winning actor, winemaker, and now a celebrated author: it’s the legendary Sam Neill!
One day shy of his 77th birthday, Sam Neill joins us from Vancouver, where he’s filming his latest project, to reflect on his extraordinary life. He shares how he found acting at 30, his passion for producing world-class Pinot Noir, and how he balances life away from Hollywood on his peaceful New Zealand vineyard, where he prefers solitude. Sam also opens up about his battle with cancer - which unexpectedly inspired him to write his memoir - the value of friendship in his life, and his commitment to “not letting the old man in” as he continues to live life to the fullest.
If you’re itching to hear more of Sam’s incredible life stories, you can buy his memoir here and if you’re eager to taste some of his award winning wine you can find that right here!
