A true and noble gentleman, who was wrapped up in my dream leading man.… pic.twitter.com/95R4aBYAlh
Damn.
People rightly talk about the film's groundbreaking digital effects, but the heart of Jurassic Park is the scientist overwhelmed with awe at seeing the creatures he's studied his whole life alive and in the flesh. And it doesn't work unless Sam Neill sells the hell out it. https://t.co/oynUxGzFEp

Just damn.
I most often think of Sir Nigel's other roles, particularly in Red October, but I think to remember his joie de vivre, I will have to watch JP tonight.
Pax.
PS - JP has been Samuel's favorite movie since he was a wee lad (he is very upset by Neill's death), and he used to love intoning the Universal theme during the opening.
PPS - Movie still hits just like it did the first time in '93. Rest in Peace, Dr Grant.
