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.

Rest in peace, Sir Sam Neill. Dr. Alan Grant and the many unforgettable characters you gave us will live on forever 🕊️
@ZealousSeraphim When watching Seed and Seed Destiny, watch the original English dub or the English sub cause the redub done for the HD remasters is horrendous.
