Actor Sam Neill reveals he battled blood cancer in the past year but is now cancer-free.
Actor Sam Neill, known for his roles in the "Jurassic Park" films and "Peaky Blinders," is being treated for stage 3 blood cancer.
AITL is "one of the more common subtypes of T-cell lymphomas," according to the Lymphoma Research Foundation, and elderly patients are "more likely to be diagnosed" with it. According to The Guardian, Neill said he first experienced swollen glands during publicity for "Jurassic World Dominion" in March 2022 and was diagnosed with AITL not long after. The actor "received chemotherapy, but when that started to fail, he embarked on a new chemotherapy drug which he will continue to receive monthly for the rest of his life, although he is now cancer-free," the outlet reported.
Neill was nominated for an Emmy in 1998 for his role in "Merlin." He was also nominated in 2017 for narrating "New Zealand: Earth's Mythical Islands."
