Sam Neill, Iconic ‘Jurassic Park’ Star, Dies at 78

Sydney, Australia (July 13, 2026) — Acclaimed New Zealand actor Sam Neill, beloved worldwide for his role as Dr. Alan Grant in the Jurassic Park franchise, has died at the age of 78.

Neill’s family announced the news in a statement, describing his passing as “sudden and unexpected.” He was surrounded by loved ones at St Vincent’s Private Hospital in Sydney. The family noted that Neill had remained cancer-free following his public battle with blood cancer, which he first disclosed in 2022.

A versatile performer with a career spanning more than five decades, Neill starred in over 150 films and television projects. He earned international acclaim for My Brilliant Career (1979), The Piano (1993), The Dish, and his chilling portrayal of Chief Inspector Chester Campbell in Peaky Blinders. His portrayal of the dinosaur-loving paleontologist in Steven Spielberg’s Jurassic Park series cemented his status as a pop culture icon.

Tributes have flooded in from co-stars, including Laura Dern, who called him a “true and noble gentleman,” and fans around the globe. Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese and New Zealand leaders also paid respects.

Neill is survived by his wife, Noriko Watanabe, and children Tim and Jessica.
Rest in peace, Sam Neill. 🦖 #SamNeill #RIP
