Sam Neill
Sam Neill, actor known for ‘Jurassic Park,’ dies at 78
Actor Sam Neill has passed away. Even though I've just seen a fraction of his films, I especially liked two of them. One was Jurassic Park (1993). He played the role of Dr. Alan Grant, a paleontologist invited to see the park. Having read the book, I can tell you he did a great job as that character ...
The other role I liked him in was that of Merlin in the tv miniseries (1998) of the same name. If you know the story of King Arthur and Merlin, you know things went terribly wrong at the end for most of the characters. In this movie version, at the end, Merlin is old and has been separated from his true love, Nimue, for many years. He's lost most of his magic and survives as a traveling storyteller. But one day he meets an old friend (Martin Short) who tells him where he can find Nimue ...
Sad he is gone.
