!! Tropes used with Sam Neill:
* ChronicallyKilledActor: A lot of Neill's roles end with him dying.
* OlderThanTheyLook: For a guy in his mid-60s, he could easily pass for a guy in his late 40s or early 50s.
* SanitySlippage: Neill has played this a couple of times as a rational man slowly falling into a pit of madness.
