Hollywood has lost a beloved member.
Samuel French, who starred alongside Robert De Niro in Killers of the Flower Moon, died on May 10 following a battle with cancer, his friend Paul Sinacore confirmed. Samuel was 45.
According to Paul, who spoke to The Hollywood Reporter, Samuel, “battled a cancer that spread through his body over the past couple of years” and died before the release of their upcoming film Towpath.
“Samuel was a dear friend and an incredible actor,” Paul told the outlet in a statement published May 12. “Towpath wouldn’t exist without him, and the incredible intensity he brought to the role of Det. Bernard Crooke set the tone for the entire film. Together we were on an extraordinary journey, giving everything we had to realize a shared creative vision.”
“Samuel carried a fire for acting that burned in every frame—unfiltered, fearless and alive. He gave himself completely to the work, and it showed,” the writer-director continued. “I am deeply saddened by his loss and only wish he could have seen the final cut. He was one of a kind, and he will remain in our hearts forever.”
