For someone who has never moved to Hollywood, Neill has fared extremely well in the USA, while keeping his options open to work in other countries. He turned in some of his best feature portrayals of the 80s opposite Meryl Streep in two films directed by Fred Schepisi: "A Cry in the Dark/Evil Angels" (1988), as a father whose child is allegedly carried off by a wild dingo in a based-on-fact story; and the less worthy romantic drama, "Plenty" (1985). For the small screen, he enjoyed tremendous success as a real-life James Bond in the 12-part British series "Reilly: Ace of Spades", airing on PBS' "Mystery!" in 1984, and added to his US resume with TV-movies like "Ivanhoe" (CBS, 1982) "The Blood of Others" (HBO, 1984), and "Leap of Faith" (CBS, 1988), as well as miniseries like "Kane and Abel" (CBS, 1985) and "Amerika" (ABC, 1987). Neill's film career took off in earnest following his performance opposite Nicole Kidman in Philip Noyce's taut thriller "Dead Calm" (1989), to which he brought a quietly commanding middle-aged grace as the distraught husband threatened by interloper Billy Zane.

Shortly thereafter, Neill was brought to England under the sponsorship of star James Mason (who undoubtedly recognized the marked similarity between his acting style and Neill's). The actor's subsequent movie work included two memorable collaborations with actress Meryl Streep and director Fred Schepisi: Plenty (1985) and A Cry in the Dark (1988).
