Actor Sam Neill, known for his roles in the 'Jurassic Park' films and 'Peaky Blinders,' is being treated for stage 3 blood cancer.

, known for his roles in the"Jurassic Park" films and"Peaky Blinders," is being treated for stage 3 blood cancer., Neill opened up about his diagnosis last year, saying he is cancer free, but will continue to receive chemotherapy.

Symptoms of AITL include"high fever, night sweats, skin rash, and autoimmune disorders such as autoimmune hemolytic anemia and immune thrombocytopenia ," according to the foundation. In his memoir, according to The Guardian, Neill writes that he is"possibly dying" and that he"may have to speed this up.""I would go to bed thinking, 'I'll write about that tomorrow … that will entertain me,'" he said."And so it was a lifesaver really, because I couldn't have gone through that with nothing to do, you know."

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."

Praying almighty God, for only You and Only You, can turn this around. Sam Niell, if you've never believed, believe now that you will become a walking miracle and spread the love of Jesus Christ. Know this, that miracles take place today as they did two-thousand years ago.

Sad 😢 to see so many comments as if he just passed… My prayers to you and your loved ones TwoPaddocks. 🙏🏼 If you kiddies want to see a young true talent with an amazing future ahead of him, get your popcorn 🍿 & check out the 1977 flick 🎥 “Sleeping Dogs.” Thrilling!!!

Sam never disappoints in his performances!! I wish him all the best and I wish people didn’t speak of him as if he is gone!

Best wishes are sent as well as a speedy recovery from leukemia!

Wishing the very best for you, Sam...you can kick its ass ❤️❤️❤️
