Hollywood is remembering Sam Neill.
After the Jurassic Park actor, who played Dr. Alan Grant in the dinasaur movie franchise, died July 13 at the age of 78, many of his friends and former colleagues shared their memories and reflected on his incredible life and career.
“Sam Neill was a deeply soulful and beautiful man,” Jurassic World director Colin Trevorrow wrote on Instagram. “He was a friend and collaborator at a challenging time, and his strength gave us all strength. I’ll remember him for his tranquility, his love of wine, and for the calm assuredness he brought to his characters. It’s not every lifetime you get to befriend a legend. Forever grateful.”
Toni Collette, who costarred with Neill in Dirty Deeds and A Long Way Down, honored her longtime friend with some touching words.
“I love you, dear Sam,” she captioned a throwback selfie on Instagram. “You hero. You legend. You sweetheart. Our great friend. You are already missed so very much. Continue in peace wherever you are.”
The Wayward actress continued to reflect on Neill’s legacy by resharing some posts about him to her Instagram Stories.
