| 5 | Sir Nigel John Dermot Neill [[UsefulNotes/KnightFever KNZM OBE]] (born 14 September 1947 in Omagh, Northern Ireland), known professionally as Sam Neill, is a UsefulNotes/NorthernIreland-born UsefulNotes/NewZealand actor. |
| 6 | |
| 7 | He's best known for his roles in ''Franchise/JurassicPark'', the miniseries ''Series/{{Merlin|1998}}'', ''Film/OmenIIITheFinalConflict'', ''Film/TheHuntForRedOctober'', and ''Film/{{Daybreakers}}''. |
| 8 | |
| 9 | He also appears to have stopped aging since the 1980s, which makes you wonder whether he really is Merlin (or maybe he's {{Satan}} -- after all he ''did'' play TheAntichrist in a movie!). |
| 10 | |
| 11 | He was married to Creator/LisaHarrow, with whom he has a son, Tim Neill. |
