SAM NEILL SNIPES AT KIWIS WHOS WHO SNIT
AUCKLAND, N.Z. (Wireless Flash) Jurassic Park star Sam Neill is taking shots at fellow New Zealanders who are miffed that he made the Australian list of Whos Who. Neill, a native New Zealander, recently made the Aussie edition of the annual big wig list, and that has some Kiwis worried their neighboring country is trying to take credit for him just like they have with New Zealand- born Russell Crowe. Although Neills new honor has ignited an old debate between New Zealand and Australia, he doesnt give a hoot about the controversy. Neill says that since the New Zealands version of Whos Who has never included him, its ...good to be acknowledged somewhere at least! Meanwhile, Aussie Whos Who editor Margaret Herd says Neills inclusion wasnt meant to make him Australian, just to honor his contributions to the countrys film industry.
