Kiwi actor Sir Sam Neill has died, his family has announced.
"It is with immense sadness that the whānau of Sam Neill share the news of his passing on Monday 13th July, in Sydney Australia.
“Sam was surrounded by family and passed with the dignity that has characterised his whole life.”
The statement says Neill’s death was sudden and unexpected but they were “blessed by the fact that Sam remained cancer free”.
Event horizon is also what had a massive impact on me back then. Obviously he’s great in Jurassic Park, but for me it’s not the first thing I think of with him.
RIP indeed…
