No real appreciation: Alec Baldwin ripped for disrespectful homage to Sam Neill.

Sam Neill, a renowned New Zealand actor known for his roles in films like 'The Piano' and 'Jurassic Park,' has died at the age of 78. Alec Baldwin, who co-starred with Neill in the 1990 film 'Jagd auf Roter Oktober,' posted a tribute on Instagram after Neill's death. However, Baldwin's message was criticized for focusing more on his personal experiences and career rather than honoring Neill. In a nearly three-minute video, Baldwin mentioned Neill only briefly at the beginning and end, spending most of the time discussing his role in the film, the director, and other actors. Many social media users expressed disappointment, noting that Baldwin's tribute seemed self-centered and failed to adequately respect Neill's legacy.
