I thought he was so good in Peaky Blinders. Untamed and Apples Never Fall also spring to mind as really good watches from recent years.

 

I was sad to hear the news this morning. Jurassic Park is an all-time favourite of mine (it carries a lot of nice nostalgia for me) and he always seemed to come across so well (warm, funny, genuine) in interviews.

That is very sad, one of the few 'good guy' actors out there that didn't have any scandals or bad behaviour.
Born in Northern Ireland too - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sam_Neill - and love his full name, Sir Nigel John Dermot "Sam" Neill.
Didn't see that one coming!

Ah man RIP Sam.

It's nice when an actor can play both protagonists and antagonists well enough that they get roles in things where you're left guessing as to which one they'll actually turn out to be.
