Data emisji: Kwi 27, 2020

He may technically be a Kiwi, but actor Sam Neill has done some of his best work in Australia. From his 1979 breakthrough in My Brilliant Career, Sam has been a beloved presence on our screens. In 2019, the Australian Academy of Cinema and Television Arts celebrated his lifetime achievements with the Longford Lyell award. But Sam Neill has another brilliant career.
