Samuel Butler (1835-1902) was the son of a clergyman. Following a disagreement with his father, he left England to beome a sheep farmer in New Zealand, returning to England in 1864.

He published Erewhon anonymously in 1872, and went on to publish several works attacking contemporary scientific ideas, in particular Darwin's theory of natural selection.

Samuel Johnson is a much-loved Australian actor with 20 years experience, best-known for his work on THE SECRET LIVES OF US, CRACKERJACK, UNDERBELLY II, RUSH and as the star of the hit biopic MOLLY. In recent times he is more proud of his work as a breast cancer advocate and determined unicyclist.

He won a Gold Logie in 2017 for his work on MOLLY and was named the Victorian of the Year for 2017 for his charity work to vanquish cancer. He has retired from acting until he has raised $10M for cancer research. So far he and his sister Connie have raised $7M.
