Speaker 2 (00:00):
Hello there, it's Jones and Amanda driving you home the passing.

Speaker 1 (00:03):
If Sam Neil has left the country in great morning.

Speaker 2 (00:06):
As you said before, in the world of Andrew Tates,
we need more Sam Neil. Absolutely, I knew him professionally,
have interviewed him many many times. Always a consumment, professional,
always very generous. I've just been rewatching The Twelve.

Speaker 3 (00:20):
Well.

Speaker 1 (00:20):
I actually I have a confession to make.

Speaker 2 (00:22):
I wanted to watch The Twelve and I always put
it on a back burner and then Sam's passed away,
and I think arguably it's one of his best things.

Speaker 1 (00:29):
I've it.

Speaker 4 (00:30):
It's so good, and it's on SBS.

Speaker 2 (00:32):
It's a series, it's Foxtell, it's a fox Stale.

Speaker 4 (00:34):
One is that I think I might have seen it there, But.

Speaker 2 (00:37):
It's all Australia series.

Speaker 4 (00:39):
He's an Australian series or a couple of them, a
couple of these series. And it's about a jury.

Speaker 2 (00:44):
Yeah, and it's it's really worth watching. But Sam Neil,
you look at his body of work, not just Jurassic Park,
but so many, so many movies, evil Angels, all those things,
and Hunt for Red October where he played a Russian
vector in the submarine. You if you haven't seen Hunt
for redols I have a remember the Sean Connery as

(01:07):
a Scottish Russian sea captain.

Speaker 4 (01:10):
This isn't the one that had the guy with the
ponytail and the kaftan Steven Siegal. No, you know what
one was he in a submarine?

Speaker 1 (01:22):
That was that was something else? What are you doing?

Speaker 3 (01:25):
What was it called? I can't remember.

Speaker 2 (01:28):
It's it's not that it's called it doesn't You're worse
than Alec Baulky.

Speaker 1 (01:32):
What do you mean?

Speaker 2 (01:33):
What's I don't know if you've seen this. He starred
with Sam Neil in The Hunt for REDI and he's
decided to take it upon himself to do a online
eulogy to the late great Sam Neil and it starts, well,
I just wanted.

Speaker 5 (01:49):
To command here quickly and say how stricken I was
to learn of the death of Sam Neil when I
did to Hunt for Red October. We shot in eighty nine.
It came out in nineteen ninety, a long time ago,
and that was probably my first big movie in terms
of having a decent sized role, because I'd done Working

(02:10):
Girl and Beetlejuice and things like that, where I had
a smaller role.

Speaker 1 (02:13):
Okay, so a bit of context. Get to Sam and.

Speaker 3 (02:17):
I do Hunt for Red October.

Speaker 5 (02:18):
And yes, John is a great director and I'm one
of the most exciting parts of what was for me
was to meet Tom Clancy. But the cast, I mean,
I'll never I've had great cast. I've worked with great people,
you know, Tony and Merrill and so many other people
that I were really really got mine and Sam surely

(02:41):
the I mean, my god, Hunt for Red October.

Speaker 3 (02:44):
I had to write this down. I had to go
to the Internet and write.

Speaker 5 (02:47):

a lot of other people in there who I enjoyed working.

Speaker 1 (03:14):
My god, My god, what Sam, Sam, Sam.

Speaker 5 (03:19):
You're with this great actor. I mean, people like like
like Ron Gutman's a perfect example there. But I can't
even stop thinking to this day, like he's smoking a cigarette.

Speaker 3 (03:31):
He's going to do the work for them, the Russians,
and he's like Mika anyway.

Speaker 1 (03:39):
Anyway, Sam, I mean.

Speaker 3 (03:41):
I remember that. I remember.

Speaker 5 (03:43):
That's one of the few movies I've ever done where
I remember the whole movie. That's what a fan I
am of that that work.

Speaker 3 (03:48):
Not me. I'm not a fan of my work.

Speaker 1 (03:51):
Anyway, Sam, What in an experience it was?
