Defining a generation I think is a term that gets thrown around quite often. But is it truly ever meant honestly.
I think most children of any generation somewhere in life had a fascination, fixation even addiction to dinosaurs.
I was one of them, the feeling of awe seeing them march across my TV screen at a young age filled me with joy and wonder like no other. Not many could shoulder the role required to walk amongst such giants. Who would of thought a tame, peaceful, class act of a Kiwi would fill the hearts of generations to come.
Sam Neill was a hero of mine from a young age. Any act he was in on screen made me smile, frown, cry, and laugh. From Jurassic Park, to Peaky Blinders, to the hysterics of Hunt for the Wilder people and the intensity of the Hunt for Red October. He was a marvel to watch. I loved that man and I am grateful to say I grew up on this earth in a time he was filling the world with peace, joy, and excitement.
Thank you Dr. Alan Grant, may you rest easy.
