Sam Neill
Sam Neill played palaeontologist Dr. Alan Grant in 'Jurassic Park' but he admits that Steven frustrated him by changing his mind about his character's accent.
Sam said: “He came up to me halfway through the day and he said, ‘Hey, Sam, you know the accent we were talking about?’ I said, ‘Yeah, I’ve been working on it for four weeks.’ He said, ‘Don’t worry about it, just use your own voice,’ I said, ‘That’s great, Steven, thank you so much.’ And then four days later, he came up to me and said, ‘You know that voice you’re using now?’ I said, ‘Yeah, my voice?’ He said, ‘Somewhere in between.’ It’s an actor’s nightmare! So that’s why I get a lot of flak to this day: Sam Neill’s American accent in ‘Jurassic Park’ was a load of T.-Rex poo.”
