We remember Sir Sam Neill (1947–2026), whose remarkable career left a lasting mark on audiences around the world.
For naval audiences, Neill will be remembered for his role as Captain Second Rank Vasily Borodin, the steadfast executive officer aboard the Soviet submarine Red October in The Hunt for Red October (1990). His portrayal of Borodin's professionalism, loyalty, and quiet courage helped make the film one of the most respected naval thrillers ever brought to the screen.
Fair winds and following seas, Sir Sam Neill. ⚓
