Kiwi Sam Neill Nails Impromptu 'Jurassic Park' Performance On The Graham Norton Show

Kiwi acting legend Sam Neill made his debut on the Graham Norton Show at the weekend, to huge success.

Neill was on the show to promote the Taika Waititi-directed Hunt For the Wilderpeople, in which he stars opposite the now 13-year-old Julian Dennison.

The Kiwi star was seated next to his old pal Ewan McGregor, prompting host Norton to force a couple of ukuleles on them for an on-the-spot performance.

Neill played - under mild protest - while McGregor sang, charming the audience from the off.

When Norton pointed out it was the highest-grossing Kiwi film we've ever had, Neill jokingly clarified: "We don't really count the Lord of the Rings because it's American money".

He also charmed UK comedian Miranda Hart by suggesting she give him a role on her sitcom Miranda. While the show was discontinued last year, a flustered Hart promised: "I would bring back Miranda if you wanted to be in it. I'm so excited, I don't know what to do."

Neill said: "Yeah, c'mon, let's do it...anything you want." To which Hart replied: "Oh, it's like we're on a date."

But the big winner of the night came when Neill got roped into re-enacting a scene from Jurassic Park alongside Hart.

The show airs this Friday at 8.30pm on TV3.
