Two actors who have appeared in the Jurassic Park films

After six films some great momentsand a blood-soaked list of health and safety violations, one has to wonder why so many dared to return to the titular vacation spots from hell in the “Jurassic Park” franchise. And yet, even after that all deaths (of which many occurred)some characters have managed to reappear in later chapters of their own choosing. Idiots.

A handful of brave scientists and dino wranglers have died and then come back for more, but two familiar faces in particular have done it the most. As it stands, Chris Pratt, Bryce Dallas Howard, Sam Neill and Laura Dern have appeared in three films in the full-scale limited saga. Both Pratt and Howard starred in “Jurassic World” and “Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom” before teaming up with Neill and Dern in “Jurassic World: Dominion.” The 2022 film was the third outing of the last couple after filming together “Jurassic Park” (which, of course, is still the best) and “Jurassic Park III.”

However, when it comes to everyone's favorite character with hair, Ian Malcolm (aka Jeff Goldblum), he's been in four of the six movies so far, making it out alive each time. Goldblum isn't the only one who managed to make it to four shows; BD Wong's Henry Wu has also appeared as much, but he hasn't always been on the right side of history when he's done so.

If the original Jurassic Park is anything to go by, it's knowing that BD Wong's warm-hearted and over-enthusiastic geneticist Dr. Henry Wu became such a traitor in Jurassic World. Returning in the reboot of the franchise and then again as a borderline Bond villain in “Jurassic Park: Fallen Kingdom,” Wong's corrupt return was convincing, if poorly directed.

In Colin Trevorrow's “Jurassic World,” Wu is the lead geneticist for the modified attraction and creator of the Indominus Rex, which becomes a big concern for any sane person who thinks a dinosaur that can camouflage is a bad thing. “Fallen Kingdom” sees him playing God again, creating the Indoraptor as another potential military weapon, since the last time it worked so good. Fortunately, by “Jurassic World: Dominion,” Wu has learned his lesson just in time for the dinosaurs to take over the world. Good job, Wu.

He was only grateful to Wong for spending more time on the character in the narration Diversity In 2022: “I didn't think about it, I came into it coming out of 'Jurassic Park' thinking the character was completely underserved and thinking, 'Well, nobody cared about him.'” And then Colin Trevorrow brought him in by the mouth in his mouth and brought him into this world where he was very important and really affected other things.

We'll have to wait and see if any of the characters will appear in Jurassic World Rebirth on July 2, 2025.
