To say I'm devastated is an absolute understatement. Sam Niel was one of the very few celebrities I looked up to.
Not only was he iconic, he was genuinely an amazing human being.

Rest easy Sam, we'll miss you greatly.

R.I.P Sam Neill (1947–2026).

[Anish Moonka @anishmoonka]

Sam Neill spent five years fighting blood cancer, beat it with an experimental therapy, and said it was time to make another movie. Less than three months later he was dead at 78, for reasons that had nothing to do with the cancer he had just survived.

His family announced the news Monday from Sydney, Australia. The statement said the loss was sudden and unexpected, that Neill remained cancer free, and that he had been surrounded by family. They thanked the staff at St Vincent's Private Hospital and asked for privacy. No cause of death has been released.

Neill was diagnosed with stage three angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma in 2022, a rare, aggressive cancer that attacks the immune system's T-cells. He went through years of chemotherapy that worked, then stopped working. Doctors switched him to CAR T-cell therapy, a treatment that takes out a patient's own immune cells, reprograms them to spot cancer, and puts them back in the body to hunt it down. On April 28, a scan came back clear. "There is no cancer in my body, that's an extraordinary thing," Neill said at the time. He spent his final months pushing for wider access to the same therapy that saved him.

He is best remembered as Dr. Alan Grant, the paleontologist who spent Jurassic Park running from what he studied. Neill played Grant across three films over 29 years, from the original in 1993 to Jurassic World Dominion in 2022. The same year Jurassic Park came out, he starred opposite Holly Hunter in The Piano, which won the Oscar for best original screenplay. His five-decade career also ran through The Hunt for Red October, Dead Calm, and three seasons as Chief Inspector Chester Campbell on Peaky Blinders. New Zealand gave him its Screen Legend Award last year.

Born in Northern Ireland in 1947, he moved to New Zealand with his family at age seven. He is survived by four children and eight grandchildren. His last public statement about his future, made less than three months before he died, was simple: it's time I did another movie.

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.

"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

El “Welcome to Jurassic park” fue un momento que nos cambió la vida. Sabíamos que aquel brachiosaurio recreado perfectamente de manera digital, iba a cambiar para siempre la manera de hacer cine. Y hoy, con la muerte de Sam Neill, todo cobra mayor sentido.

[Michael Warburton @For_Film_Fans]

Sam Neill with a great ‘fart story, and Jeff Goldblum with a great ‘fart story’ put-down.

RIP SAM (1947-2026)

Sam Neill passed today and this might be the most Sam thing ever.

He named his farm animals after celebs; a goat called Graham Norton, Helena Bonham Carter as the horned cow, and zero chance of eating Meryl Streep.

Warm, witty, completely himself. Legend forever. 🦖

What’s one Sam Neill moment you’ll never forget?

Rest in peace to our Jurassic legend, Sam Neill.

[Onii Chan @oniichanph]

We just lost another legend today 😔

The man who brought Dr. Alan Grant to life in Jurassic Park has now passed away .

Sir Sam Neill, the legendary New Zealand actor whose career spanned more than five decades, has passed away at 78.

His family announced that Neill died in Sydney on Monday, July 13, surrounded by loved ones. They described his passing as sudden and unexpected, while confirming that he had remained cancer-free following his battle with stage-three blood cancer.

Neill became part of cinematic history as paleontologist Dr. Alan Grant in Steven Spielberg’s Jurassic Park, later returning for Jurassic Park III and Jurassic World Dominion.

His remarkable career extended far beyond the franchise, with memorable roles in The Piano, Dead Calm, The Hunt for Red October, Event Horizon, In the Mouth of Madness, Peaky Blinders, and Hunt for the Wilderpeople.

Animation fans also heard his voice in Legend of the Guardians: The Owls of Ga’Hoole, Scarygirl, Daisy Quokka: World’s Scariest Animal, Peter Rabbit, and The Magic Pudding.

Rest in peace, Sir Sam Neill. Dr. Alan Grant and the many unforgettable characters you gave us will live on forever 🕊️
