## Resource

Sam Neill’s quiet kindness left a lasting mark on an extra who endured a rough day on set—after being treated unfairly, Neill personally reached out, tracked down his number, and sent a heartfelt text praising his resilience and dedication. The gesture, signed simply “Sam N,” stunned Thomas and cemented Neill’s humanity. As tributes flood in following Neill’s sudden passing, this story shines a light on his profound decency—a reminder that compassion, even in the chaos of filmmaking, can change lives.
