Sam Neill

Goodness! You never know the minute. RIP SN

Very sad. He was such a lovely man.

It’s very sad news. I read Sam Neill’s memoir a year or two ago, Did I Ever Tell You This? It’s a lovely collection of stories of his life, especially his younger years. I recommend it, it’s an easy read.

I'm sure he did a few more things besides Jurassic Park but that's about the most prominent work the media are obsessed with.

It seems his vast canon of work is negligible.

My first encounter with Sam Neill was in The Sullivans. He was good looking even back then.
RIP Sam Neill

Ace of Spies, that's when I first noticed him.
Sad to hear that.

Yes, Reilly, Ace of Spies was when we first heard of him.

Whenever I hear the theme music from it, (‘Romance of the Gadfly) I can visualise him as a handsome young actor.

And he became a handsome older one.

Thanks for the memories.

RIP.

How very sad. I loved Sam Neill, definitely up there among my favourite actors. I always imagined he would be a lovely person.

Handsome and rugged at the same time.

What a dreadful week this last one has been.

More deaths are publicised now because more people are considered newsworthy and because of the necessity of constant news to feed the 24 hour news output on T.V. and radio.
Lots of people "our age" approximately are " going" aren't they and its a bit unnerving because it spotlights our own sliding a little nearer to the cliff edge ?🤔
RIP Sam Neill. Jurassic Park is still one of my all time favourite films . Sam was great in Peaky Blinders as well.

RIP Sam Neill.
It's always a shock,because actors and actresses are forever captured as youthful on celluloid.

crazyH Depressing isn't it? They will all be missed.

RIP

So many deaths of famous people recently - Ann Whittacombe, Bonnie Tyler, Dermot Murnaghan, Sam Neil, and the young girl from Antiques Road Show, R.I.P.

Oh how very sad. I like his acting.

RIP.

Sad news indeed. I've been loving "The Twelve" crime/jury series. Such a handsome man too - a true silver fox.

I love Australian and New Zealand films and he was in many of them. Hunt for the Wilderpeople is one of my favourites, and Rams. He was a great environmentalist, too.

He was in The Piano, Hunt for Red October, he was in the TV series The Tudors he leaves behind a large body of work.

One of my absolute favourites and a most talented actor. A very sad day.

I was so upset to hear this this morning, he was one of my favourite actors . RIP Sam and thank you for so many wonderful memories .

Ace of Spies, that's when I first noticed him.
Sad to hear that.

Bluebelle, he was in a lovely film called The Dish which is gentle and worth a look. He made acting look effortless.

Ok Georgesgran I ve done as I was told and looked him up and no further forward but then I ve never seen any of the Jurassic Park movies and didn’t watch PeakyBlinders so I m sorry I m so ignorant
Always sad when someone dies though isn’t it ?

Oh goodness BB - look him up!

I follow him too Maybee. He seemed such a kind, lovely man. The DD’s are ‘gutted’.

I don’t recognise the name is he a tv or film actor

I'm sad too. So many people in their 70s, gone. I console myself with:

"What dreams may come, when we have shuffled off this mortal coil...".

RIP Mr Neill.

My friend once described him to me as ‘that actor who isn’t quite good looking’ and I immediately knew who she meant. I thought he was very sexy and when my daughter told me that he had died I said ‘now I will never get to meet him’. I am sad that he has gone and scared that he wasn’t much older than me.

Oh no 😿

He is always referred to as the Dinosaur Man here

RIP 💐
