RIP Sir Richard Attenborough

Died this afternoon at the nursing home he was living in in the UK at the ripe ole age of 90.

I wish he could've had a quick cameo in Jurassic World. One of the most iconic actors of my childhood.

I knew he'd been in a nursing home for a while now and I hoped he'd been doing okay there. I always think of him when I think of anything related to Jurassic Park and even the new Jurassic World movie. I doubted he'd be in the new one but I'll never forget him as being a big part of my childhood. "Welcome, to Jurassic Park." is one of those movie quotes I'll always remember so much. You will be missed John Hammond.

He is another character that was saved from the books, in the movie verse.
RIP Sir Attenborough.

Fantastic actor but to be fair he led a fantastic life and had a great innings. Will always remember him as a part of my childhood via his roles in Jurassic Park and Miracle on 34th Street.

RIP.
