Actor Sam Neill has passed at 78.
Neill was most famous for his role in Jurassic Park as Dr. Alan Grant, who made his way across the island with two kids in tow. I honestly think that role changed my opinion of what you needed for an "action hero".
I was also a fan of his work in Wim Wenders' Until the End of the World and Carpenter's In the Mouth of Madness and plenty of others.
He was also active on social media showing his farm, Two Paddocks, and maintained a clever, funny presence for years.
As big a movie as Jurassic Park is - and the subsequent sequels in which I think he appeared in two - Neil will be remembered for a good, long time. And rightfully so.
