Is it my imagination, or does this article bear a striking resemblance to Sam Neill's IMDb bio? --Paul A 04:30 Mar 25, 2003 (UTC)
[edit] unencyclopedic
- where he acquired his nickname 'Sam'. Apparently there were too many Nigels at the school, and he felt that people tended to like people called Sam more than they liked people called Nigel.
fairly unencyclopedic, at the very least it would need a source. clarkk 10:38, 16 June 2006 (UTC)
I posted below about a source for Sam Neill. Per that source, Sam Neill verified the facts of her site. In it, Sam Neill does mention that he switched to nickname of Sam for a variety of reasons - namely that Nigel was a source of ridicule.
[edit] Controversy
"This controversy is minor if any as the group exciting the controversy was revealed to be attention seekers and had no moral objections to the advertisement [SIC]."
No mention of who the said group actually are. Labelling the unnamed group as 'attention seekers' does not seem very objective at all, especially when the author is unable to publish the name of the group.
I changed the voice over for the bank from controversial to trivia. It hardly seems controversial to do voice overs for a bank unless there is a known controversy with said bank. I followed the link and found no such controversy. Regards.
Having done more research, I found a great soruce for trivia. Unfortunately, I'm just too dim-witted to do a reference http://www.ibiblio.org/samneill/snfaq.html.
The reference's methodology: Although the contents of this FAQ have been verified as accurate by Mr. Neill, the information in the FAQ was compiled and written by Erika Grams. In other words, this FAQ should in no way be construed as an official statement from Mr. Neill.
