Sam Neill lived the type of life each of us aspires to. Professionally, he acted for half a century, starring in several unforgettable, immortal films like Jurassic Park, cementing a legacy of excellence. Personally, when you read tributes from those who knew him, it seems that as good an actor as he was, he was an even better human. Neill died earlier this week at the age of 78, and a ton of celebrities have taken to social media to pay tribute to the late great actor. Reading these, you can kind of scratch the surface of what Neill meant to those around him. Below, we’ve got tributes from Jurassic Park director Steven Spielberg, his Jurassic Park co-stars BD Wong and Laura Dern, his Hunt for Red October co-star Alec Baldwin, Cary Elwes, Richard E. Grant, DeWanda Wise, Rufus Sewell, and many more. Check it out. I owe a debt of gratitude to Roger Donaldson, Gilliam Armstrong, Graham Baker and Phillip Noyce for casting Sam Neill in the roles in which he was so brilliant that brought him to my attention and led to his playing Dr. Alan Grant in ‘Jurassic Park,’” he continued, referencing Neill’s earlier movies “Sleeping Dogs” (1977), “My Brilliant Career” (1979), “The Final Conflict”
