“Hi I’m Sam Neill,” the 75-year-old began.

“Actor of sorts, vintner (author’s note: a vintner is someone who makes wine — don’t worry I had to Google it too), and an author as it happens.

“My news seems to be all over the news at the moment, and it’s sort of “Cancer ! Cancer! Cancer!”

“I’m alive and kicking and I’m going to work. I’m very happy to be going back to work.”

Neill then went on to talk about an upcoming project called Apples Never Fall, a TV miniseries he’ll be starring in.

He finished the video message by quipping “let’s not worry too much about “all that” because I’m fine. Okay!”

OK!
