Sam Neill's unmissable memoir is revealing, heart-warming and often hilarious, as he recounts the unpredictable turns of fortune that have defined his life and career. In this unexpected memoir, written 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.
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. He has worked around the world, as an actor who has moved effortlessly from blockbuster to art house to TV, from Dr Alan Grant in the Jurassic Park movies to The Piano and Peaky Blinders. ***'Did I Ever Tell You This?'*** is the work of a natural storyteller who is a superb observer of other people, and who writes with love and warmth about his family, and his life outside film, especially in Central Otago where he established Two Paddocks, his vineyard famous for its pinot noir.
