Sam Neill on Cancer Remission and New Role in 'Apples Never Fall': 'I Only Get Better With Age' (Exclusive)


The legendary 'Jurassic Park' actor stars as Stan Delaney in the Peacock adaptation of Liane Moriarty's best-selling novel.

Sitting down with ET's Hope Sloop to talk about his new Peacock show, Apples Never Fall, the 76-year-old Jurassic Park alum said that after fighting stage 3 angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma, he has found that not only is he lucky to be alive, but that his acting continues to get better over time. While Joy is missing in the present-day portion of the storyline, the show jumps back and forth between the past and the present to let viewers in on the inciting incidents that led to the devoted wife, mother and community staple vanishing without a trace. Filling out the cast is The White Lotus' Jake Lacy, Community's Alison Brie, Conor Merrigan-Turner, Essie Randles, Georgia Flood, Jeanine Serralles and Dylan Thuraisingham.
