Sam Neill has died.

[DesotoCountyDawg]

What a gut punch. He had just announced he had beaten cancer as well.

Sam Neill, Jurassic Park and Peaky Blinders actor, dies aged 78

The New Zealand actor, who was born in Northern Ireland, died in Sydney. He had recovered from cancer and "the loss was sudden and unexpected", his family says.

The raptors finally got him. Ugh

 

[She Mate Me]

Oof, he was in a lot of good stuff. Always seemed to make something better.

All he wanted to do was see Montana.

Just as long as he gives one ping only.

All hail his masterful cameo as the actor playing Odin in Thor: Ragnarok

I never get tired of that movie.

He was definitely not a sixpacker

And after Jurassic Park:

I have probably rewatched Jurassic Park as much or more than any movie in my lifetime and he’s great in it.

Also shoutout to him for being the only redeeming part of Jurassic Park 3 which is a terrible movie but he’s the one thing in it that still works.

RIP, Dr. Grant.

It's this scene that I remember the most about my first time seeing it. Really, just the one look by Neill, removing his hat and glasses. Pure cinema when the whole theater experienced the first "holy sh*t" moment.



PS Sam gets extra credit in my book for being in The Hunt for Red October, one of my personal favorite movies ever. RIP Vasili.

Two lesser known roles that are two of my favorites are Event Horizen and Dead Calm. Hell of an actor and always seemed like a really good guy.

Sad that Dr. Grant is dead, yet Tim the Human Piece of Toast is still breathing.

Event Horizen

One hell of an under-rated film.

He was great in Peaky Blinders as well. Last thing I think I saw him in.

 

[TaleofTwoDogs]

RIP, Vale Sam Neill.

Event Horizon 17ing chills my bones every time.

I've never seen Event Horizon. Need to put that on my list it sounds like.

Watch it by yourself at night in a dark room.

Might want to put on an adult diaper…

Since the World Cup is going on now, who could forget his star turn in United Passions, the universally hated FIFA vanity project movie that basically extolled the greatness of FIFA?

It’s interesting to me how my viewing of Jurassic Park has changed over the years. When I was a kid I just wanted to see dinosaurs doing cool dinosaur things. But some of the best scenes in JP are the talking scenes between the humans.

 

[Perd Hapley]

All hail his masterful cameo as the actor playing Odin in Thor: Ragnarok

Holy crap….good looking out. Watched this with my son a few weeks ago and immediately spotted Matt Damon as Loki, and the other guy looked familiar but I couldn’t quite place him.

The guy playing Thor is Thor's (Chris Hemsworth's) brother Liam.

ETA: I just learned within the past year that Liam is a nickname for William. I always just thought it was one of those odd British names, like Nigel.

Dead Calm might be one of the best movies of all time.

I was today years old when I learned that, just a few seconds ago actually

I was in 4th grade when Jurassic Park came out. My jaw was on the floor when that scene hit.

 

[She Mate Me]

Looking over his IMDB, a few other films I liked or found interesting are Daybreakers, In the Mouth of Madnes (flawed, but a must if you like HP Lovecraft) and The Hunter (hard to miss a film with Neil, Willem Defoe and a bad CGI Tasmanian Tiger).

 

[dstatechamps]

And raise rabbits.

I don't care how many times I watch that movie, I always get a chuckle out of the conversation he and Connery are having when he says he will marry a "round American woman" Lolz

Damn, time is cruel. I was graduating from State when it came out.
