Sam Neill in ‘Jurassic Park’
New Zealand actor Sam Neill is undergoing treatment for the third stage of blood cancer. Guardian Australia Reported on Saturday.
The “Jurassic Park” actor, 75, was reportedly diagnosed with angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma, a rare non-Hodgkin lymphoma, after suffering from swollen glands during a press engagement for “Jurassic World Dominion” last week. It happened in March.
Chemotherapy treatment initially failed, but Neil is now cancer-free after switching to a new anti-cancer drug, which he will take for the rest of his life, according to Guardian Australia Interview about the star’s upcoming memoir.
“The thing is, I’m badass. Possibly dying,” he reportedly writes in chapter one, “I might have to speed it.”
Born in Northern Ireland, Neill, who lives in New Zealand, began acting in the 1970s and is perhaps best known for his role as paleontologist Dr. Alan Grant in the “Jurassic Park” franchise.
