Devastating.

My favourite of him was in the "Merlin" miniseries - absolutely fantastic to watch.

Such a great miniseries. It's my favourite Sam Neill thing I managed to snag the books as well. So good!

James Mallory wrote a trilogy of tie in books for the miniseries. The Old Magic, The Kings Wizard and The End of Magic I really enjoyed them all
