1947 - 2026
It is truly beyond devastating to hear about the passing of Sam Neill from pneumonia after a strong victory over stage 3 anglioinnunobastic T-cell lymphoma. He is an extremely talented actor who has many great roles. Although most people will know him as Dr. Alan Grant in Jurassic Park, that does not discount his roles as Mark in Possession, Michael Chamberlain in Evil Angels aka A Cry In The Dark, John Ingram in Dead Calm, Captain 2nd Rank Vasily Borodin in The Hunt For Red October, Alisdair Stewart in The Piano, John Trent in In The Mouth Of Madness, Dr. William "Billy" Weir in Event Horizon, and Hector Faulkner in The Hunt For The Wilderpeople. Oh and that was all of his movie roles as he was had great TV roles like as Merlin in the 1998 Merlin miniseries, Sidney Reilly in Reilly: Ace Of Spies, Thomas Wolsey in The Tudors, and Major Chester Campbell in Peaky Blinders. With so much greatness, it would be an insult not to honor him and therefore, he will have a special October induction of this year.
He will be dearly missed even though he has a few more roles he did before his passing that have not yet come out yet.
