Sad news greeting my sleepy eyes, this morning - R.I.P. Sam; you gave good performances & will be remembered well.

While Sam is being remembered in his obit for playing Dr. Alan Grant in the "Jurassic Park" … which was a good & fun movie, that I did enjoy - it is not my favorite character movie. I first saw Sam's star-worthy acting, in Omen III: The Final Conflict - and was so captivated by his performance, that I watched pretty much everything he did after that.

1981 Last Days horror,  OMEN III

Plus, he was eye candy, as well as an excellent character actor.

I think today will be a day of favored Sam movie memories, binging …
