Sam Neill dies aged 78

[RaptorSA]

One of the few actors I'll genuinely miss seeing crop up in roles.
The dude was a legend.

Sam Neill tributes: actors, directors and leaders remember ‘a true gentleman’

The star of more than 100 films is remembered as a champion of New Zealand’s arts, culture and environment, and a generous collaborator and friend

www.theguardian.com

It's kind of annoying that most articles refer to him as the "Jurassic Park" guy.
His list of credits are insane and goes way, way back.

What a cool mofo this dude was.



EDIT:
Looks like we'll potentially see him in at least two upcoming roles that have basically wrapped.

Not going to lie, while I'm sure he had a lot of other appearances in film and TV, to me he will always be Dr Grant. That movie was one of the most influential pieces of cinema ever produced and he was a big part of what made it so successful.

RIP. What a beast.

Two good movies I can think of off hand are The Dish and Event Horizon.

RIP.

RIP, didn't realize he was 78. Enjoyed his acting in Jurassic Park, Event Horizon and The Hunt for Red October.

He was excellent in The Piano and Until the End of the World, and of course as Damien.

Will be missed.

Really liked Possession and Dead Calm.
Also, would’ve been a great narrator
