Why actor Sam Neill is 'not particularly interested' in his cancer | Australian Story

Acclaimed actor Sam Neill was at the top of his game when a sore neck prompted a visit to the doctor.

A shock diagnosis followed, with Sam rushed into treatment for an aggressive blood cancer.

Sam is now back acting and making wine at his beloved New Zealand vineyard.
