Sam Neill charmed the British film press while promoting his latest UK release, Little Fish. Guardian: “In the Q&A session that followed [the premiere], his performance as Sam Neill was as compelling as his performance in the movie. He was dry, languid, meticulous.” Neill’s next role is Cardinal Wolsley in Henry VIII, now filming in Ireland. Also making the UK promotional rounds for Little Fish is Martin Henderson, dubbed a rising star in the Observer. Henderson is currently “the toast of London’s West End” after his compelling performance alongside Juliet Lewis in the play Fool for Love. “I just want to keep challenging myself,” he says. “Keep moving the goalposts and raising my game. Little Fish has reminded me why I fell in love with acting in the first place.”
