The world is mourning actor Sam Neill, best known for his iconic role as Dr. Alan Grant in Jurassic Park. A clip from the 10,000 Dreams project by filmmaker Fraser Grut — in which Neill shared his “dream” of a peaceful, dull, and news-free life — has gone viral in the wake of his passing.
In New Zealand, his former school Christ’s College paid tribute to its “distinguished old boy,” despite Neill once saying in a 2023 interview that the institution was “full of inbreds” and that its reputation was overrated. The bittersweet humor feels fitting for an actor who was beloved for his wit as much as his craft.
