For me, it's Hec Faulkner from Hunt for the Wilderpeople.

He was good as the cantankerous painter in Sirens.

I always enjoy seeing Dead Calm, but whether it's Neill's best performance I suspect not. He's got a huge filmography, and I'll bet he's got a couple lighter roles thrown in there which might show him in a different light (ala Hugo Weaving in Priscilla).

Merlin in the '90s miniseries.

Seconded. He brings a lot of power, gravitas, and yet vulnerability to that role.

It's really underrated. Probably the best Arthurian related film since Excalibur.

[–] Ace_Spade (9552) 2 years ago

I think I actually prefer it to Excalibur.

He was the antichrist in The Final Conflict. He was born to play that part.
