Neil Joseph William Sandilands (born May 1st, 1975) is a South African actor and filmmaker, known for roles in both film and television and for his versatility in filmmaking.

He departed the show after seven years and moved to Los Angeles in 2007. In 2010, Sandilands was featured in an episode of the popular American drama series House, but soon returned to South Africa to star in a number of popular Afrikaans films, including the award-winning drama Die Ballade van Robbie de Wee. Sandilands also took up production work before returning to Hollywood in 2014. "I had to revert to other disciplines such as directing and post-production and sometimes built fences for my neighbours or some other unmentionable activities to simply keep the wolf at bay," Sandilands said of his journey back to the United States. In 2015, Sandilands secured a guest stint on the hit FX series The Americans. The following year in 2016, he had recurring roles as Titus in The CW's The 100 and as Paco in the SundanceTV's Hap and Leonard.
