I am honestly shocked how sad I feel about his passing.

+10.

Not that it's a competition, but TBH I'm a bit sadder than Robin Williams. I already wanted to be a palaeontologist when Jurassic Park was released, but after seeing him in it I was 100% sure for a few years that's what I would be :D It was up there with Star Wars as one of the movies I watched over and over in my teens.

Also loving some of his older roles I'm discovering from this thread, keep them coming!

Very sad Remember having to watch sleeping dogs in 5th form English . Fantastic actor incredible in peaky blinders . Massive loss to NZ

Same here. We studied Smith's Dream and Sleeping Dogs. I can't' remember if it was 5th or 6th form but I enjoyed both. Both great works and Neill was fantastic as Smith.
