LOVED “Reilly, Ace of spies”!!!!
Wow, we have been watching “Apples Never Fall” a TV mini series with Neil and Annette Benning from 2024. Neil looked great, fit and had a number of scenes where he was playing Tennis and very well at that. He was diagnosed with lymphoma in 2022, and the tv mini series was filmed in the Spring of 2023. Supposedly he was cancer free as of just a few months back. Something came on fast and nasty, RIP.
I remember that one.
mmm, Bonnie Tyler?
Ave’ Merlin! MM MP MMA !
That’s what I remember him from too. He was a great Merlin.
Condolences to family and friends of Sam Neill. RIP sir.
Hope he got to see Montana. RIP

Dies Suddenly has been a dangerous syndrome since 2020 or so.
He was great in The Tudors. Played Cardinal Wolsey. RIP
McConnell.
Rest In Peace, Sam Neill.
Dies suddenly has been a human syndrome since the beginning of man.
We’ll be seeing a lot of this as the boomers make their exits.
Sam, RIP
I first saw him in “Reily Ace of Spies.” Excellent series, excellent actor.
In 1981, he won his first big international role, as Damien Thorn, son of the devil, in Omen III: The Final Conflict___
RIP Mr Neil. I’ll never forgive you for scaring the pants off of me with your film Event Horizon. Rest easy. Go with God.
Died Suddenly now is the almost official cover name for deaths due to the MRNA vaxx. If such was not suspected then that exact phrase is not currently used.
