ffs another bloody tribute fest. Rinse and repeat from the networks. Guy was a legend though, must admit.

Hayden Kelly2026-07-14T08:50:00.000Z

mate he earned it. Best kiwi actor we've had.

Noah Bennett2026-07-14T08:12:00.000Z

Classic media bandwagon. Didn't give a toss about him until he kicked it. Where was this energy when he was alive?

Jordan Bell2026-07-14T08:55:00.000Z

facts. But let's be real half these networks are just after ratings lol

Sky Murphy2026-07-14T08:26:00.000Z

actually devastated. Sir Sam was such a huge part of my childhood, Jurassic Park was everything. Gutted we lost him. What a career.

Peyton Hall2026-07-14T09:20:00.000Z

Same. Remember watching him in The Piano too. Iconic.

Peyton Hall2026-07-14T08:47:00.000Z

Lovely tribute. He deserved all the recognition. Rest well, Sir Sam.

Jordan Bell2026-07-14T08:54:00.000Z

huge loss for nz cinema. at least the networks are doing something right for once

RNZ2026-07-14T09:10:00.000Z

yeah? Well I bet they'll stuff it up with ads every 5 mins. Classic TVNZ.

RNZ2026-07-14T09:09:00.000Z

yeah nah get stuffed with this. Charities could use the money instead of another TV special. Smh.

Sky Murphy2026-07-14T09:55:00.000Z

maybe next time think before you post, some of us actually care

Noah Bennett2026-07-14T09:15:00.000Z
