WELLINGTON, New Zealand (AP) — Sam Neill has died at age 78. He was an elegant, versatile actor who moved from art films to blockbusters like “Jurassic Park” and “The Hunt for Red October.” He said he had a rare type of lymphoma in 2023. His family said he was cancer-free when he died Monday but the statement didn’t give a cause. The New Zealand actor was one of a host of actors and directors who achieved international fame after an explosion of Australian films that began in the late 1970s. In addition to “Jurassic Park” and two of its follow-ups, his films included the thriller at sea “Dead Calm,” the period romance “The Piano” and the sci-fi horror “Event Horizon.”
