The late Sam Neill wishes Christopher Chung well in a new video shared by the Slow Horses actor ahead of the premiere of Netflix’s My Brilliant Career. Neill played Harry Beecham in the 1979 film adaptation of the Australian classic novel, and Chung plays Harry in the new Netflix TV series, which premiered globally on August 13.
Neill died on July 13 in Sydney, Australia. His family’s statement said his death was “sudden and unexpected.” Neill had previously gone into remission after getting treatment for a rare blood cancer.
On August 12, one day before the premiere of My Brilliant Career, Chung posted a tribute to Neill on Instagram, sharing a video filmed with help from his costar, Kate Mulvany, who plays Harry’s aunt, Augusta, in the series. Neill is all smiles sitting at a restaurant while recording the video for Chung.
