Cillian Murphy has joined the chorus of tributes to Sam Neill, who has died at the age of 78.
In a statement shared with Deadline, Murphy remembered his Peaky Blinders co-star for his warmth and levity. The friends shared the screen together as Tommy Shelby and Chester Campbell.
Murphy said: “Like everyone who knew and worked with Sam, I admired him and adored him in equal measure. He was one of the kindest, funniest and gentlest people, and one of the finest actors. RIP.”
