It says a lot about Sam Neill that, despite an acting career that spanned five decades, he’s still best known for his scene-stealing role in 1993’s Jurassic Park. Neill played the beloved paleontologist Dr. Alan Grant, a kind and courageous protagonist whom fans couldn’t help but root for, in large part due to Neill’s powerful performance.
Neill recently passed away, despite having recently won an arduous battle with an aggressive form of cancer, at the age of 78.
