Horrible how this can happen, RIP.

NOOOOOOOOO He was such a fabulous actor 😩😩😩

78 with lymphoma. Not exactly shocking. That’s a respectable age for anyone, I hope he didn’t suffer.

He’ll be remembered in cinema history forever ❤️
Always heartbreaking when good people leave us too soon

This year is starting to feel like 2016 all over again.
Whenever you see a picture of a celebrity in the press it’s because they’ve died.
This is a really sad one and sounds like a shock to the family. He was so great.

Holy unexpected shit!

Fuck man. This one hurts. Condolences to his family and friends

I know he will be most remembered for Jurassic Park. But he was my Merlin. RIP.

Oh for fucks sake. This is genuinely making me sad. Jurassic Park was everything to me as a kid. Farewell and godspeed, Sam.
PrincessPunkinPie on
That’s very sad.
Jurassic Park is one of my favorite movies of all time. Dr. Grant inspired an entire generation of us to love dinosaurs.
RIP

Fuck me, I gasped so loudly.
Absolute legend.

Damn shame, he was a fine actor. Condolences to his family, friends, and the New Zealand people.

“In the mouth of madness” is such a good movie. I recommend it if you have never seen it

And I just watched Jurassic Park for the first time last week.

This is not the third death we wanted!!!!

Everyone, please watch Until the End of the World. It’s an amazing movie and Sam is fantastic.

I would have liked to have seen Montana
Poagie_Mahoney on
But did he ever get to see Montana?
(OK, so I’m also heartbroken because he was a good actor in a lot of great movies, and I’m glad he succeeded in entertaining us. I believe he would have even liked the little quip.)

The family said he died cancer free. He also died in hospital surrounded by family.
At 78, so young in this day and age. My heart goes out to his family.

aw man that sucks so bad 😞
His performance in “In the mouth of Madness” was probably my favorite.
Great charismatic actor in general, really liked him in a lot of movies. RIP 😟

well goddamnit this was not the “three” we were hoping for.
This week feels like Death is at the Mended Drum, ten paces from the dartboard and ten pints in.

Damn what the fuck

His performance in Event Horizon is absolutely iconic. He elevated that movie far beyond what it would have been without him. So sad to see this.

And ‘In the Mouth of Madness’! (still one of the best Lovecraftian films)

While most of us love him for Jurassic Park please watch Hunt for the Wilderpeople. Incredible performance.
