Sam Neill, the versatile actor whose career of more than 50 years was highlighted by his appearances in the “Jurassic Park” and “Jurassic World” franchises, died on Monday in Sydney, Australia. He was 78.
In April, Neill revealed that he was cancer free after being diagnosed in 2022 with stage 3 angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma, a form of blood cancer.
"Sam was surrounded by family and passed with the dignity that has characterized his whole life,” his family said in a statement. “The loss was sudden and unexpected but blessed by the fact that Sam remained cancer free." https://t.co/Dt5AmNXBgM
