* TheWormGuy: Much like Grant, although her area of expertise is much more narrow. She winds up tagging along on Hammond's suggestion. She still does provide some good insight into the flaws and dangers of the park, pointing out that it's impossible to predict how an extinct creature will behave and the ignorance of the designers in picking plants and dinosaurs that look pretty but are also dangerous.

->'''Played By:''' Creator/SamNeill
-->''"The world has just changed so radically, and we're all running to catch up. I don't want to jump to any conclusions, but look... Dinosaurs and man, two species separated by 65 million years of evolution have just been suddenly thrown back into the mix together. How can we possibly have the slightest idea what to expect?"''
A world renowned paleontologist who specializes in hadrosaur and other duck-billed dinosaurs. He is approached by John Hammond, the eccentric billionaire and creator of Jurassic Park, to take a tour of the park and endorse it so his investors would be more confident.
----
* AdaptationalAttractiveness: In the book, he was short and pudgy.
* AdaptationalJerkass: He's generally a lot more closed off and cynical, [[ChildHater especially towards children.]] [[CharacterDevelopment He grows out of it, however.]] His book version [[FriendToAllChildren loves children]], finding their curiosity and love of dinosaurs endearing, and as such he hits it off with Tim immediately, compared to the movie where he initially avoids the boy and only comes to care for him over the course of the story. Steven Spielberg's AuthorAppeal at work.
* AdaptationPersonalityChange: In the book, Grant was a FriendToAllChildren. In the movie, [[ChildHater he isn't]]...[[TookALevelInKindness at first.]]
* AdmiringTheAbomination: He greatly respects ''Velociraptors'', and when they're fed a cow, he is noticeably torn between a mixture of horror and intense satisfaction at having witnessed a dinosaur he specializes in making a kill in action. After it's all over, his breath has noticeably quickened and he has a weird kinda smile on his face.
* AmicableExes: With Ellie in the third film. They remain good friends and Grant has an amicable relationship with her husband.
* BadassBookworm: In addition to being a badass, he's a respected paleontologist and author.
* ChildHater: At first. He dislikes children, alternating between scaring them and avoiding them. "Kids are noisy, messy, expensive and smell." His CharacterDevelopment involves him getting over it by bonding with Lex and Tim, and his interactions with Charlie and Eric in the third film show that he's left that trait behind.
** Interestingly, in the book, the ChildHater is Regis. Worse, in the book, Grant ''loves'' kids. He finds their fascination with dinosaurs to be heartwarming. [[AuthorAppeal In most of Spielberg's films]], all fathers or father-figures are either absent or aloof, probably as a result of [[WriteWhatYouKnow his parents' divorce when he was a child]].
* ChuckCunninghamSyndrome: Grant didn't appear in ''[[Film/TheLostWorldJurassicPark The Lost World]]'', but was aware of the events that happened in it. So much so that in ''Jurassic Park III'', Grant gets a little annoyed that people believe he was present during the San Diego incident during his lectures.
* DeadpanSnarker: In a much more subdued way than Malcolm or even Ellie, but he does have a sense of humour as dry as petrified wood.
* EveryManHasHisPrice: He's primarily focused on his excavation work, but he can be persuaded to go to the dinosaur islands for the right price. John Hammond offers to fund his team's digs for the next three years if he goes to Isla Nublar, while Paul Kirby basically offers him a blank check to be his tour guide on a flight over Isla Sorna. [[spoiler:While Hammond's offer is apparently sincere, Kirby is actually scamming Grant in a desperate attempt to find his missing son.]]
* {{Foil}}: The introverted Grant is a foil for talkative, sarcastic Malcolm.
* ForTheFunnyz: [[spoiler:Pretending to be electrocuted by the perimeter fence was probably not the best thing to do in the situation, although Tim appreciated it.]]
* FreudianTrio: He's the Ego to Hammond's Id and Malcolm's Superego.
* HonoraryUncle: To Ellie's son, Charlie.
* IdiotBall: Minor example, but when observing the herd of ''Gallimimus,'' Grant notes their course change as being "Just like a flock of birds evading a predator." Which of course is exactly what they're doing, but Grant just stands there watching. Until Tim points out that "They're flocking this way."
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: To a lesser extent than Malcolm, disliking children even not above having a go at trolling Hammond's grandchildren when they are trying to escape the island but he eventually starts to warm up to them and considers their safety more important than his.
** In the third movie, he gets off to a rough start with the Kirby family when he discovers they were lying about their background as a ruse to bribe and take him to Isle Sorna/Site B but eventually understands when they admit their son is stranded on the island and has to be rescued. He still has a strong moral heart when he discovers Billy has stolen the ''Velociraptor's'' eggs and planning to sell them in order to fund the digging site they were assigned to work at and chews him out but eventually forgives him when Billy rescues them nearly getting himself killed and returning the eggs to where it belongs.
* KubrickStare: When he says, "You've bred ''raptors''...?"
* NiceHat: Grant is frequently seen wearing a nifty hat.
* NightmareFuelStationAttendant: Briefly becomes this when he gives a bratty kid a very graphic description of a ''Velociraptor'' attack. Downplayed in ''III'', where briefly mentions the hunting habits of meat-eating dinosaurs to Ellie's two-year-old son but is much more friendly and educational about it... and Ellie stops him before he gets too carried away.
** Him pretending to be electrocuted when he grabs the perimeter fence might count, considering what happened to Tim soon afterward.
* OhCrap: He looks ''very'' concerned when he learns that the Jurassic Park scientists have been breeding ''Velociraptors'', and this appears to be the point where he starts having doubts about the viability of the park as a concept.
* OnlyInItForTheMoney: He only agrees to visit and inspect Jurassic Park after Hammond promises to fully fund the next three years of his research. Likewise, the allure of a big (although ultimately bad) check to continue funding Alan's dig is how Paul Kirby cons him into going to Site B.
* OnlySaneMan: Especially in the third film, where he's the only one who knows exactly how much danger they're all in.
* OohMeAccentsSlipping: Sam Neill's American accent holds up pretty well, except for one line during the scene where he throws the stick at the fence.
* PapaWolf: Despite his earlier claims of not liking children, he goes through ''a lot'' to protect Lex and Tim in the first film.
* PartingWordsRegret: In ''III'', when he discovers that Billy stole a pair of ''Velociraptor'' eggs "with the best intentions," he chews him out, outright telling him that he's "no better than the people that built this place." Shortly afterwards, Billy pulls off a HeroicSacrifice to save Eric from being eaten by a flock of ''Pteranodons''.
* PinkGirlBlueBoy: The blue boy to Ellie's pink girl.
* PretenderDiss: How he regards the [=InGen=] dinosaurs as of ''III''. During his lectures, Grant states outright that they're not true dinosaurs, but rather "circus freaks" and "genetically engineered theme-park monsters".
* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: In ''III'', he gives Billy one of these when he discovers that Billy stole raptor eggs to use for funding, along with Billy's insistence that it was "[[WellIntentionedExtremist with the best intentions]]":
-->'''Grant''': With the best intentions? Some of the worst things imaginable have been done with the best intentions. You know what, Billy? As far as I'm concerned, you're no better than the people that built this place.
* SeriouslyScruffy: In contrast to trendy Malcolm, suit-wearing Gennaro and white-suited Hammond, Grant dresses in a more casual, pragmatic way to emphasize his rugged, salt-of-the-earth character. It's also more practical, as unlike the others Grant spends most of his working time at various paleontological digs in out-of-the-way places.
* ShellShockedVeteran: Like Malcolm and Ellie, Grant makes it clear that he never wants to return to Isla Nublar ''or'' Isla Sorna. When Billy blows the raptor whistle, he freezes up like the raptors were right there with him and then later has a nightmare on the plane.
* SurroundedByIdiots: In the third film, when he has to escort the Kirbys.
* {{Troll}}: Alan has no problems scaring a kid, when said kid questions the viciousness of a Raptor, nor does he have a problem making Lex and Tim think he electrocuted himself despite being in the middle of a park full of various dinosaurs on the loose (at least Tim thought [[ActuallyPrettyFunny it was funny]]).
* TookALevelInJerkass: In the third film, he is noticeably more grumpy, cynical, and snarky, which only intensifies once he actually goes to Isla Sorna. ''Completely'' justified due to 1.) His near-death experiences in the first film making him something of a ShellshockedVeteran, 2.) The existence of Isla Nublar and Isla Sorna means that people are far less interesting in funding his dig site, meaning that he is constantly short of cash to fund his excavations, not to mention people are getting more interested in the genetically-created [=InGen=] dinos than the real ones.
* WalkingTechBane: He makes TV screens go screwy just by touching them. When the tour breaks down at the park he instantly asks what he touched.
* WhatYouAreInTheDark: Grant spends the entire first half of the original film demonstrating that he has no use for children whatsoever only to almost seamlessly transition into PapaWolf mode once he's stranded in the middle of the park with Tim and Lex. The smiles he and Ellie exchange when he's cuddled between them on the helicopter ride home speak volumes to this.
* TheWormGuy: Although respected in his field, Grant is understandably confused as to why anyone would want his input on a theme park. He's confused about why his expertise is needed, until he sees exactly what kind of park it is.

->'''Played By:''' Creator/LauraDern
!!!'''Appearances:''' ''Film/JurassicPark'' | ''Film/JurassicParkIII'' | ''Film/JurassicWorldDominion''
-->''"You never had control, that's the illusion! I was overwhelmed by the power of this place. But I made a mistake, too. I didn't have enough respect for that power and it's out now."''
A paleobotanist who works alongside Dr. Grant in the Badlands of Montana. Her specialty and expertise draws the attention of John Hammond, the owner of Jurassic Park.
----
* AdaptationalModesty: She wears much more practical clothing than her book counterpart, who wore a midriff-baring top.
* ActionGirl[=/=]ActionSurvivor: Ellie might not be any kind of trained combatant, but she's a survivor through and through. She's able to successfully outrun (and physically fight off) multiple raptors through good use of her environment, i.e. slamming their heads with freakin' doors.
* AmicableExes: With Grant in ''Jurassic Park III''. They remain good friends, Grant is an HonoraryUncle to her child, and has a friendly relationship with her new husband.
* AscendedExtra: She doesn't really do much in the novel, but in the film she's one of the central characters. This is largely due to her taking over much of Harding and Gennaro's roles, due to them being DemotedToExtra.
* DeadpanSnarker: She's in competition with Malcolm for the snarkiest character in the film.
-->''"Alan, if you wanted to scare the kid, you could've pulled a gun on him."''
-->'''Hammond:''' And there's no doubt our attractions will drive kids out of their minds.
-->'''Grant:''' [''meaning the attractions''] What are those?
-->'''Ellie:''' [''ComicallyMissingThePoint''] Small versions of adults, honey.
-->''"Dinosaurs eat man. Woman inherits the earth."''
-->''"Look... We can discuss sexism in survival situations when I get back."''
* DemotedToExtra: She has two scenes in ''Jurassic Park III'', in the beginning and in the last act. Her first scene mostly serves to set a ChekhovsGun about Grant being able to ask for anything as assistance. Her second and last scene has Grant calling her for help, though most of the scene focusses on her toddler picking up the phone call.
* FailedASpotCheck: An especially hilarious case as she's so preoccupied with an extinct plant that was brought back for the park that she misses the ''skyscraper-sized Brachiosaurus'' right in front of her until Grant physically grabs and turns her head.
* GondorCallsForAid: In ''Jurassic Park III'', she receives a garbled message from Alan. Immediately, she realizes -- correctly -- that ''a lot of shit must be going down'' and calls in ''the Navy and the Marines''.
* HotScientist: To the point she has Grant and Malcolm fighting for her affection.
* ImprobableTaxonomySkills: Due to being a paleobotanist, she's able to recognize formerly extinct plants and differentiate which ones are poisonous.
* MsFanservice: Though tremendously downplayed vs. the book (where she's a grad student in her early 20s and [[MaleGaze much loving prose is lavished on her legs]]).
* PinkGirlBlueBoy: The pink girl to Grant's blue boy.
* PinkMeansFeminine: Wears a pink shirt when she arrives on the island. She loses it off-screen on her way back to the Visitor Center after turning the power back on.
* PromotedToLoveInterest: In the original book, Ellie was Grant's student and there was no romantic connection between them. Here, she's both a colleague and his love interest, although their interactions are downplayed and never draw attention away from the main storyline.
* ShellShockedVeteran: When Grant discusses how the raptors are smarter than they ever guessed, Ellie looks downright terrified and admits that she'll never forget the sounds the raptors made when hunting her.
* ShesGotLegs: Boy, does she. Ellie spends a lot of time in tiny shorts.
* TheSmurfettePrinciple: She's the only (human) female adult in the movie.
* StatuesqueStunner: She's played by 5'10 Laura Dern, and Ian Malcolm certainly makes note of her attractiveness (granted, he still towers over her due to being played by 6'4 Jeff Goldblum, but still).
* TookALevelInBadass: Ellie was always a tough lady, but she reaches another level by tangling with raptors up-close-and-personal.
* WhatTheHellHero: She gives a powerful one to Hammond, criticizing him for his denial and inability to learn from his mistakes even when they're staring him in the face. Hammond takes it to heart.
* TheWormGuy: Much like Grant, although her area of expertise is much more narrow. She winds up tagging along on Hammond's suggestion.

-->''"God creates dinosaurs. God destroys dinosaurs. God creates man. Man destroys God. Man creates dinosaurs."''
A mathematician at the Santa Fe Institute who specializes in chaos theory. He's invited to Jurassic Park by Donald Gennaro with the hopes of easing the minds of [=InGen=]'s investors.
----
* AdaptationalAttractiveness: In the original book, Malcolm was balding and very skinny.
* AdaptationalComicRelief: He's DeadpanSnarker who provides most of the laughs. In the novel, he mainly serves the role of explaining chaos theory and is a relatively serious character, although he still has some funny moments. An especially prominent one is found in the second book, which was written to hold some similarities with the original film.
* AdaptationalHeroism: During the paddock attack scene in the novel, Malcolm runs away from the rest of the group and ends up being attacked by Rexy, [[MadeOfIron managing to survive being bit and flung away]] ([[DentedIron although heavily injured]]). [[ActorInspiredElement Goldblum proposed to Spielberg]] about making Malcolm pull off a HeroicSacrifice to draw Rexy away from the kids (and [[NiceJobBreakingItHero unknowingly leading the ''T. rex'' to where Gennaro is hiding]]), which was put on the final film.
* AdaptationPersonalityChange: The book Malcolm's argument against the park was based on its creators ''massively'' underestimating what a huge random factor the dinosaurs themselves were, and everything fell apart precisely how his mathematical models predicted it. The movie version massively simplifies it to an emotional and inconsistent CreatingLifeIsBad appeal that he can't back up. It's not helped by things mostly being under control until the security is sabotaged in the movie instead of it having been subverted by the animals long before as in the book. Examined in some depth [[http://www.nybooks.com/articles/1993/08/12/dinomania/ here]].
* AdmiringTheAbomination: When the group witnesses the ''Velociraptors'' being fed, Malcolm is the one watching with the most intense interest. By the end, though, that interest has waned considerably, and he looks a little ill, even holding his stomach.
* BadassBookworm: A world famous mathematician, willingly draws the attention of Rexy to chase him and survives, becomes even more one in the second film.
* BigGood: If speaking on behalf of the dinos' survival and to live amongst them at a public hearing at the end of the fifth film is any indication coupled with his past experiences with them at the islands to back him up, he has taken this role in the films (which apparently will continue into the forthcoming sixth one).
* BreakoutCharacter: Among the humans in this franchise anyway; his book equivalent ''died'' of his injuries but the sequel novel ''The Lost World'' -- which was written with a film adaptation in mind -- retconned that so he could be the protagonist. He's only become more popular as the years have passed, becoming the first of the original trilogy's principals to appear in the ''Jurassic World'' films.
* TheBusCameBack: After being absent from the third and fourth film, he returns in ''Film/JurassicWorldFallenKingdom'', making the argument that while it is sad for the dinosaurs to die, they should be left to re-extinction. [[spoiler:He also points out that rescuing the dinosaurs may lead to terrible consequences, both ecological and human...and the ending suggests he's right. Again.]]
--> These creatures were here before us. And if we're not careful, [[NothingIsTheSameAnymore they could be here after.]]
* TheCameo / FreezeFrameBonus: While he is not actively in the film, it is shown that some time between ''The Lost World'' and ''Jurassic World'' Dr. Malcolm had written a new book called ''God Creates Dinosaurs''.
* TheCassandra: He predicts that things will turn wrong and chaotic. His concerns are dismissed by other characters, before they are vindicated by the dinosaurs.
* CassandraTruth: His mathematical risk assessment of the park exposed that the dinosaurs were too big of an unknown factor to keep under control and said so to Hammond. Even when the other experts brought to the park (Sattler and Grant) agreed with him on this fact (but approached it from different angles), Hammond didn't get the hint of how bad an idea the park was up until everything went to hell. The second movie has him telling the [=InGen=] expedition and ''his own people'' how bad an idea it is to get anywhere near the island, let alone explore it/take the dinosaurs away (knowing from personal experience how things go around dinos), but he ''still'' is not heard until things go bad.
-->Boy, do I hate being right all the time.
** Also, between the two films he violates the nondisclosure agreement he signed with [=InGen=] and tells the world about the existence of the cloned dinosaurs. Not only does the company go after him legally, no one believes him anyway and he is publicly and professionally disgraced. After what happens in San Diego, though...
* CharacterDevelopment: Compare and contrast him in ''Jurassic Park'' and then several years later in ''The Lost World''. By the time of the second film, he's much less [[CloudCuckooLander eccentric]], and doesn't sport the almost rockstar-like image he has during the first film. Given some of Hammond's comments toward him, it could be that the events in the park were something of a wake-up call for him. That and the fact that going public about his experience in violation of his non-disclosure agreement with [=InGen=] left him with his tenure revoked, possibly jobless, and no longer being taken seriously by the scientific community or the general public.
* CharacterExaggeration: He's a comical DeadpanSnarker. In the original novel, he was a much more serious character, although he did have some humorous moments — such as dismissing the argument comparing reviving dinosaurs to using cloning to save the California Condor by pointing out the obvious fact that dinosaurs weren't driven extinct by man-made deforestation, and oh, by the way, condors don't eat people. Although, perhaps as a nod to this change, while delirious from drugs and severe injury in the sequel novel, he temporarily takes on a talkative, wisecracking persona similar to his movie one, although much more over-the-top.
* CloudCuckooLander: Downplayed in comparison to the book (particularly since he never ends up on morphine), and only in the first film. He tends to act very eccentric and cheerful and his explanations of chaos theory are strangely, though appropriately told. It mostly goes away after his injury.
* CoolShades: Before everything becomes chaotic, Malcolm rarely removes his sunglasses.
* DeadpanSnarker: Quite possibly the snarkiest character in the franchise. Takes on a darker edge in the second film, though.
* {{Determinator}}: The second movie shows that he decided to tell the world about [=InGen=]'s experiments even when doing so was a breach of non-disclosure and made him a mockery of the scientific community. Decides to go to Isla Sorna to save Sarah even if it's exactly what he doesn't want to do (because ''that'' is what Hammond wants).
* DisappearedDad: His daughter outright accuses him of as much; he gets better, though. As, in the first movie, he mentions having three kids, so he has two other kids that never appear in the franchise.
* EarnYourHappyEnding: Starts ''The Lost World'' as a disgraced laughingstock and constantly DisappearedDad to his daughter Kelly; ends the movie with his relationship with her restored, his relationship with Sarah strengthened (perhaps the start of a new family unit built from the pieces of previous ones), and his career and professional reputation restored and then some, as not only are all of his claims now known to be true but he helped save San Diego from a rampaging ''T. rex'', making him a public hero. In the interim between this film and his appearance in ''Fallen Kingdom'' he has at least one book about his experiences published, too.
* TheFriendNobodyLikes: Downplayed as most people don't flat-out dislike him so much as they are really annoyed by him. Though to quote ''[[NiceGuy Hammond]]'' of all people...
-->"I ''really'' hate that man..."
* FriendToAllChildren: He has three kids of his own and told Grant he loves kids. He even risked life and limb on two separate occasions to try to keep kids out of harms way from dangerous dinos. Even though he's bitter towards Hammond, he never takes it out on Lex or Tim when he visits the household.
* GibberingGenius: He is probably pop culture's most famous/influential example of the trope, played as he is by an actor who has made such characters a specialty. He manages to insert lots of exposition, snark, ''and'' verbal pauses into quick speeches.
* HeroicSacrifice: ''Very'' narrowly averted in the first film when he's trying to save the kids from Rexy by distracting her. Played with in ''The Lost World'' when they get chased by the raptors; he manages to draw the lead raptor's attention long enough for Sarah and Kelly to get to safety.
* InsufferableGenius: Summed up by his comment "Boy do I hate being right all the time." after seeing the ''T. rex'' on the loose. A conversation between Grant and Eric in the third film goes to show that even adolescent kids reading Malcolm's books pick up on this trope!
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: He is quite annoying to both Grant and Hammond, but he cares about Hammond's grandchildren and makes a HeroicSacrifice to save them (He survives, thankfully).
* MajorInjuryUnderreaction: His reaction after almost getting killed by the ''T. rex'' and getting his leg injured?
-->'''Malcolm:''' [[SarcasmMode Remind me to thank John for a lovely weekend.]]
* MotorMouth: Manages to insert lots of exposition (and snark) in quick speeches.
* MrFanservice: Has an open shirt for most of the second half of the first movie (in fairness, as Goldblum himself pointed out, it would have been warm on Isla Nublar). The hefty splintering of his leg (courtesy of the ''T. rex'' attack) may detract from it, though.
* NiceJobBreakingItHero: Gennaro might've survived a bit longer, if not the entire movie, if Ian hadn't decided to distract Rexy away from Lex and Tim (after Alan already had the situation handled) by running, flare in hand, in the direction of the restrooms Gennaro was hiding in. For that matter, Ian wouldn't have gotten injured, either.
* OlderAndWiser: In the fifth film, he has gotten better with age -- humbler and more rational than in the previous films.
* OnlySaneMan: With the possible exception of the ''Brachiosaurus'' scene, Malcolm only ever regards the dinosaurs with shock and terror. He doubts the park's safety and in ''The Lost World'' he's one of the few people in the second movie to be fully aware of the implications of entering dinosaur-infested territory...that this time around has ''no'' fences or other methods of containment. It still holds up in ''Fallen Kingdom'', where he's publicly advocating that the dinosaurs be left to their fate on soon-to-catastrophically-erupt Isla Nublar while a sizable number of people want them to be saved.
-->'''Hammond:''' I don't think you're giving us our due credit. Our scientists have done things which nobody's ever done before--
-->'''Malcolm:''' Yeah, yeah, but your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could that they didn't stop to think if they ''should''!
* PapaWolf: He nearly [[HeroicSacrifice sacrifices]] himself in the first film to save Lex and Tim from Rexy. And he's willing to do almost anything to save his daughter in ''The Lost World''.
* ReallyGetsAround: "I'm always on the lookout for the future ex-Mrs. Malcolm." Kelly briefly [[CallingTheOldManOut calls him out on this]] in the sequel.
* ScienceIsBad: He sees [=InGen=]'s carefree reintroduction of dinosaurs into a world that has long since left them in the past, just because other people's scientific discoveries (ones likely intended for better ends) made it possible to do so, as a terrible thing. When Hammond asks him "How can we stand in the light of discovery and not act?" Malcolm coolly responds that discovery is "a violent, penetrative act that scars what it observes. What you call discovery...I call the rape of the natural world."
* ShellShockedVeteran:
** It's made clear in ''The Lost World'' that Malcolm does ''not'' want to go anywhere near Isla Sorna and although his {{Foreshadowing}} is delivered in a joking manner, viewers also know that he's remembering the brutal deaths of Muldoon, Nedry, Arnold, and Gennaro whenever he utters a warning.
---> '''Malcolm''': Oh, yeah. "Ooh, aah." That's how it always starts. But then later, there's running, and, um...screaming.
** When the ''T. rex'' roar is heard for the first time in ''Lost World'', he gets a brief ThousandYardStare, clearly having flashbacks to the ''rex'' attack from the first movie. Fitting, as he's the only one on the island who knows exactly what a ''rex'' attack is like.
---> '''Malcolm:''' [[ThisIsGonnaSuck Hang on, this is gonna be bad.]]
* ShirtlessScene: Downplayed. (see MrFanservice above)
* SitcomArchnemesis: Definitely has this vibe with John Hammond. The two develop an adversarial relationship due to their strong disagreements with the park and its vision. It's usually played for laughs due to Malcolm's never-ending snark and Hammond's growing frustration with him, and even while the former is recovering from his injuries in the film's second half, the two still can't resist throwing passive-aggressive barbs at one another.
* SmallRoleBigImpact: In ''Fallen Kingdom'', Malcolm appears in exactly two scenes (in the opening and the very end of the movie) and never interacts with the main cast, but the speech he gives in the beginning of the movie motivates the US government to not attempt to save the Isla Nublar surviving dinosaurs from a volcano, which is the reason Owen and Claire are sent back to the island, and thus starts the whole plot.
* SparedByTheAdaptation: In the ''Jurassic Park'' novel, he was said to have died of his injuries. This was [[RetCanon retconned]] in the novel of ''The Lost World'' (which was created and released after the first film), and completely averted in the films.
* TallDarkAndSnarky: Dresses mostly in black (the second novel [[LampshadeHanging even has him making a joke about it]]).
* TookALevelInBadass: Before everything becomes chaotic in the first film, he spends most of his screen time to snark here and there, and only there to annoy the others.
* VerbalTic: Tends to add in an "uh" in every other sentence. He also tends to get caught piecing together his sentences, giving him an odd halting syntax to his speech.

!!!'''Apperances:''' ''Film/JurassicPark''
-->''"And we can charge anything we want, 2,000 a day, 10,000 a day, and people will pay it. And then there's the merchandise..."''
The attorney sent on behalf of Jurassic Park's investors to investigate the safety of the park after several reports of missing or dead workers.
----
* AdaptationalJerkass: In the book, Gennaro wasn't that nice of a guy, but he had some moments of heroism and was genuinely concerned about the park's safety. Here, he's a DirtyCoward who [[spoiler:abandoned Lex and Tim]] and dropped all his concerns when he saw Jurassic Park's money-making potential.
* AdaptationalWimp: In the book, Gennaro is a CowardlyLion who, despite having several fearful moments, goes along with Muldoon to find the kids and later, to catch Rexy, ''beats a ''Velociraptor'' in a hand-to-hand fight''[[note]]granted, in the book the ''Velociraptors'' are closer to their much smaller real-life size[[/note]], intimidates a ship captain with {{Technobabble}}, and survives to the end. [[spoiler:In the film, he becomes a DirtyCoward who dies a particularly embarrassing death. This is mostly because he's more of an adaptation of Ed Regis than of the original Gennaro.]]
* AmoralAttorney: Sure, Gennaro, leave the poor little ''children'' behind to face a ''Tyrannosaurus rex''... ALONE!!!
* AssholeVictim: [[spoiler:He shows his true colors when the ''Tyrannosaurus rex'' makes her appearance, [[DirtyCoward abandoning children to die and hiding in a nearby bathroom]]. He's still there when Rexy breaks it open and gets quickly eaten.]]
* CampingACrapper: [[spoiler:He ends up being eaten by Rexy while sitting on a toilet]].
* TheCanKickedHim: [[spoiler:How Gennaro goes out in the film. Particularly embarrassing because Rexy smashed down the walls of building he was in, leaving him right there on the toilet for all to see, just before shredding him]].
* TheComicallySerious: Gennaro's mind is all business, which nicely serves as stark contrast to Hammond's jovial CoolOldGuy DeadpanSnarker persona. When Hammond snarks that he brings a "rock star", Gennaro's response is to look confused and say "Huh?" After they got out of helicopter and were riding jeeps to go to the park, he firmly reminds Hammond that they're not there for vacation. Even after seeing the park, the first thing that came to his mind is [[OnlyInItForTheMoney how to make money from the park as much as possible]]. And when Hammond mockingly addresses him as "blood-sucking lawyer", he merely responds with a confused [[ComicallyMissingThePoint "Thank you"]].
* CompositeCharacter: Of the novel version of Gennaro and Ed Regis (from the novel). He's a lawyer like Gennaro, but he takes on Regis' personality as a DirtyCoward. He also inherits [[AdaptationalNiceGuy John]] [[AdaptationalHeroism Hammond's]] pennypinching motivational traits.
* DeadpanSnarker: "What's the matter, kid? You never had lambchops?"
* DeathByAdaptation: [[spoiler:Torn apart by Rexy as a KarmicDeath for leaving the kids alone during the attack (the exact death of Ed Regis on the novel, with some changes). His novel version survives all the way to the end of the book and is more of a CowardlyLion with a few moments of hidden badass.]]
* DeathByGenreSavviness: [[spoiler:He knows to run like the dickens the first second he hears Rexy seems to be breaking out. However, Rexy finds him anyway and he ends up being her only human victim.]]
* DeathByIrony: When the ''T. rex'' shows up, he flees the car and leaves Lex and Tim to their fate while he hides in a bathroom stall so as to not get hurt. After Malcolm gets Rexy to chase him, she destroys the bathroom stall, and kills Gennaro.
* DemotedToExtra: [[spoiler:Due to DeathByAdaptation, his role is ''much'' smaller than in the book, and his CharacterDevelopment is excised completely.]]
* DirtyCoward: Pulls an [[AdaptedOut Ed Regis]] and [[spoiler: abandons Lex and Tim once he realizes the Rex's fence is no longer electrified. He later pays for the ultimate act of cowardice with his life via some LaserGuidedKarma. It's such a weaselly, low act that Grant and Ian are visibly stunned that he left the innocent children to be eaten by the dinosaur to save his own skin. Poor Lex's panicked whisper of "He left us. He left us!" is haunting and later becomes almost a MadnessMantra for her.]]
* DoomedContrarian: He first disagrees with the scientists, then abandons the party.
* HalfTheManHeUsedToBe / LudicrousGibs: [[spoiler:Muldoon finds his body...and Ellie finds his body a few meters away.]]
* HateSink: He's an untrustworthy, money-grubbing coward who [[spoiler:leaves kids to die to save his own skin.]] He's only behind Nedry in terms of repulsive behavior.
* HeroicBSOD: Well, for a given definition of "[[JerkWithAHeartOfJerk hero]]." This is his reaction to witnessing the ''Velociraptors'' being fed. He simply stares in stupefied horror, like what he's witnessing is so brutal his brain switched off. [[spoiler:It's even possible he was ''fortunate'' enough to have died long before they got loose, considering being shaken to death by Rexy is quicker than "[[FateWorseThanDeath You are alive... when they start to eat you]]."]]
* JerkassHasAPoint: While Ellie and Grant are tending to the sick ''Triceratops'', Gennaro is the first to suggest that they head back to the Visitor's Center before the storm arrives. Granted, he was in turn reminded by a sudden clap of thunder.
* KarmicDeath: [[spoiler:He is killed by the very creature whose tender mercies he had just abandoned two helpless children to.]]
* OhCrap: His reaction to the ''T. rex''.
* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: [[spoiler:He leaves the kids alone and runs for shelter once Rexy gets out of the paddock. Unfortunately for him, said "shelter" was not really ''that'' secure when it came to handling a ''T. rex'' bursting in...]]
* UndignifiedDeath: Dies whimpering for his life, [[CampingACrapper on a toilet]], after cowardly abandoning two children to the T. rex.
* YouDontLookLikeYou: In the book, he's short and muscular, while here he's relatively thin and tall.

-->''"It's a UNIX system, I know this! It's the files for the whole park. It's like a phone book -- it tells you everything."''
John Hammond's granddaughter and Tim Murphy's older sister. Unlike her brother, Lex isn't a fan of dinosaurs and prefers to spend her time on the computer.
----
* AdaptationalIntelligence: In addition to an age lift, Lex is given knowledge of computer systems that she didn't have in the books. This change is likely to make sure that Lex doesn't come across as utterly unlikable and useless, as she does in the book.
* AdaptationalNiceGuy: Unlike her book counterpart, who was a whiny, sports-obssessed, SpoiledBrat who enjoyed bullying Tim for his fondness toward dinosaurs along with her dad, she's more friendly, easygoing and seems interested, or at least neutral, toward the dinos. She and Tim still snark at each other a lot but they clearly care for each other.
* AgeLift: In the novel, she's the younger sibling.
* AwLookTheyReallyDoLoveEachOther: Lex and Tim snark a lot at each other during the second half of the movie. But when it seems Tim would have died from the electric fence encounter, [[InelegantBlubbering she is bawling her eyes out.]]
* BigBrotherInstinct: In the kitchen, she attracts the raptors' attention so that they go after her instead of Tim.
* ChekhovsHobby: Her computer hacking.
* DecompositeCharacter: In the book, Tim knows both about informatics and dinosaurs, while Lex is useless.
* DemotedToExtra: Has a cameo appearance in ''The Lost World'' along her brother when Malcolm visits Hammond in the beginning.
* GirlinessUpgrade: Appears to have undergone this between the first and second films.
* HairOfGoldHeartOfGold: Crossed with ChildrenAreInnocent -- she's clearly very well-intentioned, and doesn't take being abandoned by Gennaro well.
* IdiotBall: Sure, ''shining a flashlight at Rexy'' will scare her away! Bonus points for her being about to ignore them all in the first place. [[JustifiedTrope Justified]] in that she's a terrified child who obviously isn't thinking clearly.
* InsistentTerminology: "I prefer to be called a 'hacker.'"
* KidAppealCharacter: InUniverse example: Hammond calls her and Timmy the "park's target audience" when he firsts introduces them to the rest of the visitors.
* LittleMissBadass: [[AdaptationalBadass Handles herself better within the park and brings more useful skills to the table than her novel version]].
* TheMillstone: Neither her nor Tim can really be blamed for being TheLoad since they're both just kids caught up in a horrifying situation, but Lex's decision to grab a lantern and start spotlighting an angry T. rex turns her into this. Had she simply froze in terror and done nothing, both children would have been in ''less'' danger.
* NiceHat: She wears a baseball cap in the first film, which is likely a homage to her sports-loving depiction in the novel.
* TheLoad: Moreso than Tim; Lex does extremely dumb things, but she has her useful and smart moments, too (in the film anyway). Both the film version of Tim and the book version of Lex can be forgiven as they are young kids.
* OhCrap: An epic one, as seen in the picture, when she spots a Velociraptor shadow through the cafeteria wall.
* PlayfulHacker: At the least, this is [[InsistentTerminology what she insists on being called]]. She is able to reboot the park's computers when the grownups and people who know about the systems are either dead or too occupied elsewhere to help.
* PrecociousCrush: Lex quickly gets one on Dr. Grant.
* [[ScreamingWoman Screaming Girl]]: And how! In fact, Spielberg cast Ariana Richards because he thought she was a good screamer.
* SheIsAllGrownUp: As pointed out by Ian during her cameo in the second film.
* {{Tomboy}}: The book version of Lex is a huge baseball fan. The movie version of Lex is older and more nerdy but she still wears a baseball cap and seems pretty capable at things like climbing, so she might count to a lesser degree.
* TookALevelInBadass: Spends most of first movie as TheLoad. When the raptors attack, her hacking skill becomes useful to help the heroes. Her and Tim working together to trap one of the Raptors in a walk in Freezer is pretty awesome too.

-->''"What do you call a blind dinosaur?"''
John Hammond's grandson and Lex Murphy's little brother. He's very interested in dinosaurs.
----
* AgeLift: In the novel, he's the older sibling.
* DemotedToExtra: Has a cameo appearance in ''The Lost World'' along his sister when Malcolm visits Hammond in the beginning.
* DentedIron: Because of repeatedly taking what even adults would be lucky to survive, by the end of the film, he has a limp, his hair is singed, his arm is bandaged, one of his ears is bleeding, and he has a dazed look about him. ([[https://twitter.com/the_tim_murphy and according to a]] CharacterBlog, [[GallowsHumor hilariously]] [[ShellShockedVeteran traumatized]]).
* HeroWorshipper: Tim is a huge fan of Dr. Grant, largely because Grant is a paleontologist and KidsLoveDinosaurs.
* KidAppealCharacter: InUniverse example: Hammond calls him and Lex the "park's target audience" when he first introduces them to the rest of the visitors.
* IdiotBall: Give the gun to the grownups before the raptors break in, Timmy.
* TheLoad: As mentioned above, moreso Tim; Lex does extremely dumb things, but she has her useful and smart moments too (in the film anyway). Both the film version of Tim and the book version of Lex can be forgiven as they are young kids. He ''is'' smart enough to lure the ''Velociraptor'' into the freezer and lock it in, too.
* MadeOfIron: This kid survives nearly being eaten by Rexy, getting knocked off a cliff while still in the jeep, having said jeep fall down a tree and then almost crush him, getting shocked on the high-voltage paddock fences, and finally being stalked and attacked by a group of escaped raptors.
* MotorMouth: When Dr. Grant first meets Tim, he has to put up with Tim gushing about him and the book he wrote.
* TookALevelInBadass: He wises up ''a lot'' by the end of the film, quickly realizing just how much danger they're in and using some of his dino knowledge to keep him and Lex alive.
* WildHair: Gains that after, you know, being almost ''shocked'' to death.

->'''Played By:''' Creator/NickRobinson & Ty Simpkins
!!!'''Appearances:'''”Film/JurassicWorld”
->''"They're going to shave our heads and we'll have to make root beer in the toilet!"''
Claire's two nephews who go to visit their aunt and enjoy a vacation at Jurassic World at a rather unfortunate time.
----
!!Both of them
* ActionSurvivor: The siblings were never equipped to handle dangerous dinosaurs, but they manage to survive through teamwork and their own skills.
* AwLookTheyReallyDoLoveEachOther:
** Their relationship with each other certainly qualifies. Zach can be aloof and a bit of a bully, but he's always there for Gray and makes sure he's safe.
** A more minor case, but while Zach seems very disinterested by his girlfriend's little "farewell" before the trip and he spends the trip ogling other women, he still takes the time to look at her little "miss you" message during the ''Mosasaurus'' feeding.
* BadassAdorable: Both of them are wide-eyed, cute kids. Zach manages to zap a rogue ''Velociraptor'' and Gray manages to outwit Delta using just his quick wits and an Innovation Center hologram.
* FoolishSiblingResponsibleSibling: Zach and Gray, respectively. When the visitors are told to return from their ride, Gray wants to obey the instructions, but Zach opts to continue venturing, despite not knowing what kind of problem the Park is having.
* ForWantOfANail: ''Camp Cretaceous'' reveals that Claire wanted them to join the rest of the campers so that they could be with people thier own ages. [[spoiler:Ironically, not going to the camp actually turned out for the best, as the kids aren't able to make it to the docks before the last ferry leaves]].
* HarmfulToMinors: Service for children and teens continues as normal in the grand tradition of ''Jurassic Park'' and it's sequels as Zach and Gray endure a seriously traumatic series of events. They're attacked several times, their loved ones are placed in danger and people die horribly right in front of them with some regularity.
* KidAppealCharacter: By virtue of being the only kids among the human characters.
* {{Nephewism}}: Claire's close familial connection to Zach and Gray is required to justify her [[TookALevelInBadass taking a considerable level in badass]]. Only something as personal as the endangerment of her young nephews could spur her character into going all out MamaBear on marauding dinosaurs.
* SensitiveGuyAndManlyMan: Shown perfectly when they think their parent are getting a divorce -- Gray is openly crying and not ashamed, Zach is telling him to stop and toughen up, explaining that "life isn't fair."
* ShipperOnDeck: They both, especially Zach, think Owen is a great boyfriend for Claire.
* SiblingTeam: They work together to survive in Jurassic World when the ''I. rex'' gets loose.
* SiblingYinYang: Zach is a cynical JerkWithAHeartOfGold and is very low-energy, and he is initially unimpressed by Jurassic World, thinking it is for little kids; Gray is an optimistic NiceGuy with a abundant amount of energy, and his {{establishing character moment}} is fanboying about visiting Jurassic World.
* SnarkToSnarkCombat: Occasionally between the two of them, such as when Gray catches Zach staring at some pretty girls.
-->'''Gray:''' ''[loudly]'' What exactly do you expect to achieve by just staring at them?
-->'''Zach:''' ...thanks.
-->'''Gray:''' You're welcome.
!!Zach
* BewareTheNiceOnes: If you mess with Gray, Zach will thwart you. [[spoiler: Right, electroshocked raptor and hungry ''I. rex''?]]
* BigBrotherBully: Zach is a mild case for Gray, which is one of the reasons their mother is upset with Claire for foisting them off on Zara, but he stops once the real danger begins. Karen exaggerating it a bit seems to be a sign that she's often been a [[ParentalNeglect neglectful parent]] and similar to Claire in regards that she's not very attentive to her family and probably only assume Zach is BigBrotherBully on superficial level. That's also probably why Zach doesn't seem to think much of her, either, given that his father at one point semi-sternly told him to listen to her when she's talking to him and Gray.
* BigBrotherInstinct: Zach always makes sure Gray is safe when the ''I. rex'' or other dinosaurs start to attack. [[spoiler:He manages to save Gray's life when the ''I. rex'' grasps Gray's belt and tries to pull him out. Using ''one hand'' (as the other is holding Gray back), he manages to unclip the belt and save his little brother.]]
* CanNotSpitItOut: Zach as regards saying "I love you" to his girlfriend.
* ChickMagnet: He doesn't cheat on his girlfriend but it's clear he's able to attract a lot of the girls he interacts with in Jurassic World.
* ChivalrousPervert: Zach is visibly ogling every girl in the park despite having a girlfriend back at home.
* CruelToBeKind: While telling his younger brother to stop crying over their parent's divorce is kind of a mean move, Zach does have a point that there is nothing Gray can do about it and he will need to deal with it. He does try to cheer him up afterward so it's more him just not being the sentimental type than being a Jerkass to his brother.
* DeadpanSnarker: Zach seems to have "deadpan bemusement" as his default facial expression, whether he's talking to his brother, his girlfriend or his aunt.
-->'''Claire:''' The last time I saw you must have been, what, three, four ye--
-->'''Zach:''' ''[bluntly]'' Seven. But, you know, close.
* HiddenDepths:
** Zach is revealed as a talented mechanic, able to repair an original Jurassic Park Jeep left to rot in the jungle for 20 years. He is also a lot more active than his bored teenage look lets on when dinosaurs start attacking.
** He's also remarkably level-headed and logical during ''Indominus's'' attack on the gyrosphere and the immediate aftermath. While Gray understandably loses his head and is screaming and crying, Zach does his very best to try to calm him down and get them out of danger while they're still in the gyrosphere (though it's spoiled by their being hit by the clubbed tail of an ankylosaur) and he also figures out exactly when to unlatch both himself and Gray as ''Indominus'' destroys the gyrosphere, ''and'' to not immediately try running as soon as they hit the ground lest they be sliced to ribbons by the broken glass. To top it all off, when they jump into water to finally escape from Indominus, he holds Gray back underwater and gestures that the dinosaur is probably still up above them, saving both of their lives by tricking Indominus into thinking they weren't coming back out of the water.
* InformedFlaw: According to Karen, Zach "can be so mean" to Gray. While Zach is usually pretty aloof towards Gray and isn't especially nice, he's not actively malicious either and shows a powerful BigBrotherInstinct towards Gray when they're both in danger.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Even his mother describes him as "mean." When it comes down to it, however, he proves himself to be a loyal and protective brother.
* KickTheDog: When Gray is clearly upset by his parents' apparent decision to get a divorce, Zach's response is to tell his crying, distressed younger brother that he has toughen up and that it's not his choice what happens to their parents. [[JerkassHasAPoint He's right]], but it's still pretty damn harsh.
* NervesOfSteel: He is rather good at staying calm and rational in a crisis.
* PetTheDog: When Gray grows increasingly distraught about their parents' upcoming divorce, Zach decides to take their Gyroscope off-road in order to distract his little brother.
* SavvyGuyEnergeticGirl: He seems to have this dynamic with his girlfriend as while she is shown to be bubbly, Zach is shown to be somewhat lethargic.
!!Gray
* AmbiguousDisorder: Gray is highly intelligent, very quiet, and obsessed with numbers and facts (able to spout out the exact make, model, and ''paint identity'' of a Jeep on sight). According to his actor, [[http://www.slashfilm.com/ty-simpkins-jurassic-world-interview/ Gray was originally written as autistic.]] Although the mention in the final film was dropped, his portrayal doesn't seem to divert much from it.
* AudienceSurrogate: Gray's unstoppable excitement to get into the park as the iconic John Williams theme blares reflects the attitude of many a fan happy about the franchise's return, and represents the view of any dinosaur fan who would finally get to see non-bird dinosaurs in real life.
-->'''Gray:''' I don't wanna wait anymore!!!
* {{Fanboy}}: Gray is a ''huge'' expert on dinosaurs.
* TheGlomp: Gray glomps his aunt Claire at one point. Her reaction is priceless. Probably because his head is ''exactly'' the right height to fit ''right'' in her breasts.
* JawDrop: PlayedForDrama. Gray's expression when [[spoiler:Zara]] dies mirrors how the viewer would react if they witnessed [[CruelAndUnusualDeath something like that]] in person.
* {{Keet}}: Gray has a tendency to get really excited when it comes to dinosaurs. Indeed, take a look at [[http://jurassicparkfilms.tumblr.com/post/117791826598/new-footage-of-jurassic-worlds-innovation-center this adorableness.]]
* MotorMouth: Gray can't seem to stop talking whenever dinosaurs are involved.
* NiceGuy: Gray is sensitive, polite, and energetic.
* ThousandYardStare: {{Downplayed|Trope}}. The look on Gray's face when he sees [[spoiler:Zara]] die certainly looks like this, but Zach snaps him out of it immediately.
* {{Troll}}: Gray is a lot smarter than he looks. One could wonder if he spoke out to the girls about Zach staring at them just to be a troll.

!!!'''Appearances:''' ''Film/JurassicPark'' | ''Film/JurassicParkIII'' | ''Film/JurassicWorldDominion''
->'''Played By:''' Creator/SamNeill
-->''"The world has just changed so radically, and we're all running to catch up. I don't want to jump to any conclusions, but look... Dinosaurs and man, two species separated by 65 million years of evolution have just been suddenly thrown back into the mix together. How can we possibly have the slightest idea what to expect?"''
A world renowned paleontologist who specializes in hadrosaur and other duck-billed dinosaurs. He is approached by John Hammond, the eccentric billionaire and creator of Jurassic Park, to take a tour of the park and endorse it so his investors would be more confident.
----
* AdaptationalAttractiveness: In the book, he was short and pudgy.
* AdaptationalJerkass: He's generally a lot more closed off and cynical, [[ChildHater especially towards children.]] [[CharacterDevelopment He grows out of it, however.]] His book version [[FriendToAllChildren loves children]], finding their curiosity and love of dinosaurs endearing, and as such he hits it off with Tim immediately, compared to the movie where he initially avoids the boy and only comes to care for him over the course of the story. Steven Spielberg's AuthorAppeal at work.
* AdaptationPersonalityChange: In the book, Grant was a FriendToAllChildren. In the movie, [[ChildHater he isn't]]...[[TookALevelInKindness at first.]]
* AdmiringTheAbomination: He greatly respects ''Velociraptors'', and when they're fed a cow, he is noticeably torn between a mixture of horror and intense satisfaction at having witnessed a dinosaur he specializes in making a kill in action. After it's all over, his breath has noticeably quickened and he has a weird kinda smile on his face.
* AmicableExes: With Ellie in the third film. They remain good friends and Grant has an amicable relationship with her husband.
* BadassBookworm: In addition to being a badass, he's a respected paleontologist and author.
* ChildHater: At first. He dislikes children, alternating between scaring them and avoiding them. "Kids are noisy, messy, expensive and smell." His CharacterDevelopment involves him getting over it by bonding with Lex and Tim, and his interactions with Charlie and Eric in the third film show that he's left that trait behind.
** Interestingly, in the book, the ChildHater is Regis. Worse, in the book, Grant ''loves'' kids. He finds their fascination with dinosaurs to be heartwarming. [[AuthorAppeal In most of Spielberg's films]], all fathers or father-figures are either absent or aloof, probably as a result of [[WriteWhatYouKnow his parents' divorce when he was a child]].
* ChuckCunninghamSyndrome: Grant didn't appear in ''[[Film/TheLostWorldJurassicPark The Lost World]]'', but was aware of the events that happened in it. So much so that in ''Jurassic Park III'', Grant gets a little annoyed that people believe he was present during the San Diego incident during his lectures.
* DeadpanSnarker: In a much more subdued way than Malcolm or even Ellie, but he does have a sense of humour as dry as petrified wood.
* EveryManHasHisPrice: He's primarily focused on his excavation work, but he can be persuaded to go to the dinosaur islands for the right price. John Hammond offers to fund his team's digs for the next three years if he goes to Isla Nublar, while Paul Kirby basically offers him a blank check to be his tour guide on a flight over Isla Sorna. [[spoiler:While Hammond's offer is apparently sincere, Kirby is actually scamming Grant in a desperate attempt to find his missing son.]]
* {{Foil}}: The introverted Grant is a foil for talkative, sarcastic Malcolm.
* ForTheFunnyz: [[spoiler:Pretending to be electrocuted by the perimeter fence was probably not the best thing to do in the situation, although Tim appreciated it.]]
* FreudianTrio: He's the Ego to Hammond's Id and Malcolm's Superego.
* HonoraryUncle: To Ellie's son, Charlie.
* IdiotBall: Minor example, but when observing the herd of ''Gallimimus,'' Grant notes their course change as being "Just like a flock of birds evading a predator." Which of course is exactly what they're doing, but Grant just stands there watching. Until Tim points out that "They're flocking this way."
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: To a lesser extent than Malcolm, disliking children even not above having a go at trolling Hammond's grandchildren when they are trying to escape the island but he eventually starts to warm up to them and considers their safety more important than his.
** In the third movie, he gets off to a rough start with the Kirby family when he discovers they were lying about their background as a ruse to bribe and take him to Isle Sorna/Site B but eventually understands when they admit their son is stranded on the island and has to be rescued. He still has a strong moral heart when he discovers Billy has stolen the ''Velociraptor's'' eggs and planning to sell them in order to fund the digging site they were assigned to work at and chews him out but eventually forgives him when Billy rescues them nearly getting himself killed and returning the eggs to where it belongs.
* KubrickStare: When he says, "You've bred ''raptors''...?"
* NiceHat: Grant is frequently seen wearing a nifty hat.
* NightmareFuelStationAttendant: Briefly becomes this when he gives a bratty kid a very graphic description of a ''Velociraptor'' attack. Downplayed in ''III'', where briefly mentions the hunting habits of meat-eating dinosaurs to Ellie's two-year-old son but is much more friendly and educational about it... and Ellie stops him before he gets too carried away.
** Him pretending to be electrocuted when he grabs the perimeter fence might count, considering what happened to Tim soon afterward.
* OhCrap: He looks ''very'' concerned when he learns that the Jurassic Park scientists have been breeding ''Velociraptors'', and this appears to be the point where he starts having doubts about the viability of the park as a concept.
* OnlyInItForTheMoney: He only agrees to visit and inspect Jurassic Park after Hammond promises to fully fund the next three years of his research. Likewise, the allure of a big (although ultimately bad) check to continue funding Alan's dig is how Paul Kirby cons him into going to Site B.
* OnlySaneMan: Especially in the third film, where he's the only one who knows exactly how much danger they're all in.
* OohMeAccentsSlipping: Sam Neill's American accent holds up pretty well, except for one line during the scene where he throws the stick at the fence.
* PapaWolf: Despite his earlier claims of not liking children, he goes through ''a lot'' to protect Lex and Tim in the first film.
* PartingWordsRegret: In ''III'', when he discovers that Billy stole a pair of ''Velociraptor'' eggs "with the best intentions," he chews him out, outright telling him that he's "no better than the people that built this place." Shortly afterwards, Billy pulls off a HeroicSacrifice to save Eric from being eaten by a flock of ''Pteranodons''.
* PinkGirlBlueBoy: The blue boy to Ellie's pink girl.
* PretenderDiss: How he regards the [=InGen=] dinosaurs as of ''III''. During his lectures, Grant states outright that they're not true dinosaurs, but rather "circus freaks" and "genetically engineered theme-park monsters".
* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: In ''III'', he gives Billy one of these when he discovers that Billy stole raptor eggs to use for funding, along with Billy's insistence that it was "[[WellIntentionedExtremist with the best intentions]]":
-->'''Grant''': With the best intentions? Some of the worst things imaginable have been done with the best intentions. You know what, Billy? As far as I'm concerned, you're no better than the people that built this place.
* SeriouslyScruffy: In contrast to trendy Malcolm, suit-wearing Gennaro and white-suited Hammond, Grant dresses in a more casual, pragmatic way to emphasize his rugged, salt-of-the-earth character. It's also more practical, as unlike the others Grant spends most of his working time at various paleontological digs in out-of-the-way places.
* ShellShockedVeteran: Like Malcolm and Ellie, Grant makes it clear that he never wants to return to Isla Nublar ''or'' Isla Sorna. When Billy blows the raptor whistle, he freezes up like the raptors were right there with him and then later has a nightmare on the plane.
* SurroundedByIdiots: In the third film, when he has to escort the Kirbys.
* {{Troll}}: Alan has no problems scaring a kid, when said kid questions the viciousness of a Raptor, nor does he have a problem making Lex and Tim think he electrocuted himself despite being in the middle of a park full of various dinosaurs on the loose (at least Tim thought [[ActuallyPrettyFunny it was funny]]).
* TookALevelInJerkass: In the third film, he is noticeably more grumpy, cynical, and snarky, which only intensifies once he actually goes to Isla Sorna. ''Completely'' justified due to 1.) His near-death experiences in the first film making him something of a ShellshockedVeteran, 2.) The existence of Isla Nublar and Isla Sorna means that people are far less interesting in funding his dig site, meaning that he is constantly short of cash to fund his excavations, not to mention people are getting more interested in the genetically-created [=InGen=] dinos than the real ones.
* WalkingTechBane: He makes TV screens go screwy just by touching them. When the tour breaks down at the park he instantly asks what he touched.
* WhatYouAreInTheDark: Grant spends the entire first half of the original film demonstrating that he has no use for children whatsoever only to almost seamlessly transition into PapaWolf mode once he's stranded in the middle of the park with Tim and Lex. The smiles he and Ellie exchange when he's cuddled between them on the helicopter ride home speak volumes to this.
* TheWormGuy: Although respected in his field, Grant is understandably confused as to why anyone would want his input on a theme park. He's confused about why his expertise is needed, until he sees exactly what kind of park it is.

->'''Played By:''' Creator/LauraDern
!!!'''Appearances:''' ''Film/JurassicPark'' | ''Film/JurassicParkIII'' | ''Film/JurassicWorldDominion''
-->''"You never had control, that's the illusion! I was overwhelmed by the power of this place. But I made a mistake, too. I didn't have enough respect for that power and it's out now."''
A paleobotanist who works alongside Dr. Grant in the Badlands of Montana. Her specialty and expertise draws the attention of John Hammond, the owner of Jurassic Park.
----
* AdaptationalModesty: She wears much more practical clothing than her book counterpart, who wore a midriff-baring top.
* ActionGirl[=/=]ActionSurvivor: Ellie might not be any kind of trained combatant, but she's a survivor through and through. She's able to successfully outrun (and physically fight off) multiple raptors through good use of her environment, i.e. slamming their heads with freakin' doors.
* AmicableExes: With Grant in ''Jurassic Park III''. They remain good friends, Grant is an HonoraryUncle to her child, and has a friendly relationship with her new husband.
* AscendedExtra: She doesn't really do much in the novel, but in the film she's one of the central characters. This is largely due to her taking over much of Harding and Gennaro's roles, due to them being DemotedToExtra.
* DeadpanSnarker: She's in competition with Malcolm for the snarkiest character in the film.
-->''"Alan, if you wanted to scare the kid, you could've pulled a gun on him."''
-->'''Hammond:''' And there's no doubt our attractions will drive kids out of their minds.
-->'''Grant:''' [''meaning the attractions''] What are those?
-->'''Ellie:''' [''ComicallyMissingThePoint''] Small versions of adults, honey.
-->''"Dinosaurs eat man. Woman inherits the earth."''
-->''"Look... We can discuss sexism in survival situations when I get back."''
* DemotedToExtra: She has two scenes in ''Jurassic Park III'', in the beginning and in the last act. Her first scene mostly serves to set a ChekhovsGun about Grant being able to ask for anything as assistance. Her second and last scene has Grant calling her for help, though most of the scene focusses on her toddler picking up the phone call.
* FailedASpotCheck: An especially hilarious case as she's so preoccupied with an extinct plant that was brought back for the park that she misses the ''skyscraper-sized Brachiosaurus'' right in front of her until Grant physically grabs and turns her head.
* GondorCallsForAid: In ''Jurassic Park III'', she receives a garbled message from Alan. Immediately, she realizes -- correctly -- that ''a lot of shit must be going down'' and calls in ''the Navy and the Marines''.
* HotScientist: To the point she has Grant and Malcolm fighting for her affection.
* ImprobableTaxonomySkills: Due to being a paleobotanist, she's able to recognize formerly extinct plants and differentiate which ones are poisonous.
* MsFanservice: Though tremendously downplayed vs. the book (where she's a grad student in her early 20s and [[MaleGaze much loving prose is lavished on her legs]]).
* PinkGirlBlueBoy: The pink girl to Grant's blue boy.
* PinkMeansFeminine: Wears a pink shirt when she arrives on the island. She loses it off-screen on her way back to the Visitor Center after turning the power back on.
* PromotedToLoveInterest: In the original book, Ellie was Grant's student and there was no romantic connection between them. Here, she's both a colleague and his love interest, although their interactions are downplayed and never draw attention away from the main storyline.
* ShellShockedVeteran: When Grant discusses how the raptors are smarter than they ever guessed, Ellie looks downright terrified and admits that she'll never forget the sounds the raptors made when hunting her.
* ShesGotLegs: Boy, does she. Ellie spends a lot of time in tiny shorts.
* TheSmurfettePrinciple: She's the only (human) female adult in the movie.
* StatuesqueStunner: She's played by 5'10 Laura Dern, and Ian Malcolm certainly makes note of her attractiveness (granted, he still towers over her due to being played by 6'4 Jeff Goldblum, but still).
* TookALevelInBadass: Ellie was always a tough lady, but she reaches another level by tangling with raptors up-close-and-personal.
* WhatTheHellHero: She gives a powerful one to Hammond, criticizing him for his denial and inability to learn from his mistakes even when they're staring him in the face. Hammond takes it to heart.
* TheWormGuy: Much like Grant, although her area of expertise is much more narrow. She winds up tagging along on Hammond's suggestion.

->'''Played By:''' Creator/JeffGoldblum
!!!'''Appearances:''' ''Film/JurassicPark'' | ''Film/TheLostWorldJurassicPark'' | ''Film/JurassicWorldFallenKingdom'' | ''Film/JurassicWorldDominion''
-->''"God creates dinosaurs. God destroys dinosaurs. God creates man. Man destroys God. Man creates dinosaurs."''
A mathematician at the Santa Fe Institute who specializes in chaos theory. He's invited to Jurassic Park by Donald Gennaro with the hopes of easing the minds of [=InGen=]'s investors.
----
* AdaptationalAttractiveness: In the original book, Malcolm was balding and very skinny.
* AdaptationalComicRelief: He's DeadpanSnarker who provides most of the laughs. In the novel, he mainly serves the role of explaining chaos theory and is a relatively serious character, although he still has some funny moments. An especially prominent one is found in the second book, which was written to hold some similarities with the original film.
* AdaptationalHeroism: During the paddock attack scene in the novel, Malcolm runs away from the rest of the group and ends up being attacked by Rexy, [[MadeOfIron managing to survive being bit and flung away]] ([[DentedIron although heavily injured]]). [[ActorInspiredElement Goldblum proposed to Spielberg]] about making Malcolm pull off a HeroicSacrifice to draw Rexy away from the kids (and [[NiceJobBreakingItHero unknowingly leading the ''T. rex'' to where Gennaro is hiding]]), which was put on the final film.
* AdaptationPersonalityChange: The book Malcolm's argument against the park was based on its creators ''massively'' underestimating what a huge random factor the dinosaurs themselves were, and everything fell apart precisely how his mathematical models predicted it. The movie version massively simplifies it to an emotional and inconsistent CreatingLifeIsBad appeal that he can't back up. It's not helped by things mostly being under control until the security is sabotaged in the movie instead of it having been subverted by the animals long before as in the book. Examined in some depth [[http://www.nybooks.com/articles/1993/08/12/dinomania/ here]].
* AdmiringTheAbomination: When the group witnesses the ''Velociraptors'' being fed, Malcolm is the one watching with the most intense interest. By the end, though, that interest has waned considerably, and he looks a little ill, even holding his stomach.
* BadassBookworm: A world famous mathematician, willingly draws the attention of Rexy to chase him and survives, becomes even more one in the second film.
* BigGood: If speaking on behalf of the dinos' survival and to live amongst them at a public hearing at the end of the fifth film is any indication coupled with his past experiences with them at the islands to back him up, he has taken this role in the films (which apparently will continue into the forthcoming sixth one).
* BreakoutCharacter: Among the humans in this franchise anyway; his book equivalent ''died'' of his injuries but the sequel novel ''The Lost World'' -- which was written with a film adaptation in mind -- retconned that so he could be the protagonist. He's only become more popular as the years have passed, becoming the first of the original trilogy's principals to appear in the ''Jurassic World'' films.
* TheBusCameBack: After being absent from the third and fourth film, he returns in ''Film/JurassicWorldFallenKingdom'', making the argument that while it is sad for the dinosaurs to die, they should be left to re-extinction. [[spoiler:He also points out that rescuing the dinosaurs may lead to terrible consequences, both ecological and human...and the ending suggests he's right. Again.]]
--> These creatures were here before us. And if we're not careful, [[NothingIsTheSameAnymore they could be here after.]]
* TheCameo / FreezeFrameBonus: While he is not actively in the film, it is shown that some time between ''The Lost World'' and ''Jurassic World'' Dr. Malcolm had written a new book called ''God Creates Dinosaurs''.
* TheCassandra: He predicts that things will turn wrong and chaotic. His concerns are dismissed by other characters, before they are vindicated by the dinosaurs.
* CassandraTruth: His mathematical risk assessment of the park exposed that the dinosaurs were too big of an unknown factor to keep under control and said so to Hammond. Even when the other experts brought to the park (Sattler and Grant) agreed with him on this fact (but approached it from different angles), Hammond didn't get the hint of how bad an idea the park was up until everything went to hell. The second movie has him telling the [=InGen=] expedition and ''his own people'' how bad an idea it is to get anywhere near the island, let alone explore it/take the dinosaurs away (knowing from personal experience how things go around dinos), but he ''still'' is not heard until things go bad.
-->Boy, do I hate being right all the time.
** Also, between the two films he violates the nondisclosure agreement he signed with [=InGen=] and tells the world about the existence of the cloned dinosaurs. Not only does the company go after him legally, no one believes him anyway and he is publicly and professionally disgraced. After what happens in San Diego, though...
* CharacterDevelopment: Compare and contrast him in ''Jurassic Park'' and then several years later in ''The Lost World''. By the time of the second film, he's much less [[CloudCuckooLander eccentric]], and doesn't sport the almost rockstar-like image he has during the first film. Given some of Hammond's comments toward him, it could be that the events in the park were something of a wake-up call for him. That and the fact that going public about his experience in violation of his non-disclosure agreement with [=InGen=] left him with his tenure revoked, possibly jobless, and no longer being taken seriously by the scientific community or the general public.
* CharacterExaggeration: He's a comical DeadpanSnarker. In the original novel, he was a much more serious character, although he did have some humorous moments — such as dismissing the argument comparing reviving dinosaurs to using cloning to save the California Condor by pointing out the obvious fact that dinosaurs weren't driven extinct by man-made deforestation, and oh, by the way, condors don't eat people. Although, perhaps as a nod to this change, while delirious from drugs and severe injury in the sequel novel, he temporarily takes on a talkative, wisecracking persona similar to his movie one, although much more over-the-top.
* CloudCuckooLander: Downplayed in comparison to the book (particularly since he never ends up on morphine), and only in the first film. He tends to act very eccentric and cheerful and his explanations of chaos theory are strangely, though appropriately told. It mostly goes away after his injury.
* CoolShades: Before everything becomes chaotic, Malcolm rarely removes his sunglasses.
* DeadpanSnarker: Quite possibly the snarkiest character in the franchise. Takes on a darker edge in the second film, though.
* {{Determinator}}: The second movie shows that he decided to tell the world about [=InGen=]'s experiments even when doing so was a breach of non-disclosure and made him a mockery of the scientific community. Decides to go to Isla Sorna to save Sarah even if it's exactly what he doesn't want to do (because ''that'' is what Hammond wants).
* DisappearedDad: His daughter outright accuses him of as much; he gets better, though. As, in the first movie, he mentions having three kids, so he has two other kids that never appear in the franchise.
* EarnYourHappyEnding: Starts ''The Lost World'' as a disgraced laughingstock and constantly DisappearedDad to his daughter Kelly; ends the movie with his relationship with her restored, his relationship with Sarah strengthened (perhaps the start of a new family unit built from the pieces of previous ones), and his career and professional reputation restored and then some, as not only are all of his claims now known to be true but he helped save San Diego from a rampaging ''T. rex'', making him a public hero. In the interim between this film and his appearance in ''Fallen Kingdom'' he has at least one book about his experiences published, too.
* TheFriendNobodyLikes: Downplayed as most people don't flat-out dislike him so much as they are really annoyed by him. Though to quote ''[[NiceGuy Hammond]]'' of all people...
-->"I ''really'' hate that man..."
* FriendToAllChildren: He has three kids of his own and told Grant he loves kids. He even risked life and limb on two separate occasions to try to keep kids out of harms way from dangerous dinos. Even though he's bitter towards Hammond, he never takes it out on Lex or Tim when he visits the household.
* GibberingGenius: He is probably pop culture's most famous/influential example of the trope, played as he is by an actor who has made such characters a specialty. He manages to insert lots of exposition, snark, ''and'' verbal pauses into quick speeches.
* HeroicSacrifice: ''Very'' narrowly averted in the first film when he's trying to save the kids from Rexy by distracting her. Played with in ''The Lost World'' when they get chased by the raptors; he manages to draw the lead raptor's attention long enough for Sarah and Kelly to get to safety.
* InsufferableGenius: Summed up by his comment "Boy do I hate being right all the time." after seeing the ''T. rex'' on the loose. A conversation between Grant and Eric in the third film goes to show that even adolescent kids reading Malcolm's books pick up on this trope!
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: He is quite annoying to both Grant and Hammond, but he cares about Hammond's grandchildren and makes a HeroicSacrifice to save them (He survives, thankfully).
* MajorInjuryUnderreaction: His reaction after almost getting killed by the ''T. rex'' and getting his leg injured?
-->'''Malcolm:''' [[SarcasmMode Remind me to thank John for a lovely weekend.]]
* MotorMouth: Manages to insert lots of exposition (and snark) in quick speeches.
* MrFanservice: Has an open shirt for most of the second half of the first movie (in fairness, as Goldblum himself pointed out, it would have been warm on Isla Nublar). The hefty splintering of his leg (courtesy of the ''T. rex'' attack) may detract from it, though.
* NiceJobBreakingItHero: Gennaro might've survived a bit longer, if not the entire movie, if Ian hadn't decided to distract Rexy away from Lex and Tim (after Alan already had the situation handled) by running, flare in hand, in the direction of the restrooms Gennaro was hiding in. For that matter, Ian wouldn't have gotten injured, either.
* OlderAndWiser: In the fifth film, he has gotten better with age -- humbler and more rational than in the previous films.
* OnlySaneMan: With the possible exception of the ''Brachiosaurus'' scene, Malcolm only ever regards the dinosaurs with shock and terror. He doubts the park's safety and in ''The Lost World'' he's one of the few people in the second movie to be fully aware of the implications of entering dinosaur-infested territory...that this time around has ''no'' fences or other methods of containment. It still holds up in ''Fallen Kingdom'', where he's publicly advocating that the dinosaurs be left to their fate on soon-to-catastrophically-erupt Isla Nublar while a sizable number of people want them to be saved.
-->'''Hammond:''' I don't think you're giving us our due credit. Our scientists have done things which nobody's ever done before--
-->'''Malcolm:''' Yeah, yeah, but your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could that they didn't stop to think if they ''should''!
* PapaWolf: He nearly [[HeroicSacrifice sacrifices]] himself in the first film to save Lex and Tim from Rexy. And he's willing to do almost anything to save his daughter in ''The Lost World''.
* ReallyGetsAround: "I'm always on the lookout for the future ex-Mrs. Malcolm." Kelly briefly [[CallingTheOldManOut calls him out on this]] in the sequel.
* ScienceIsBad: He sees [=InGen=]'s carefree reintroduction of dinosaurs into a world that has long since left them in the past, just because other people's scientific discoveries (ones likely intended for better ends) made it possible to do so, as a terrible thing. When Hammond asks him "How can we stand in the light of discovery and not act?" Malcolm coolly responds that discovery is "a violent, penetrative act that scars what it observes. What you call discovery...I call the rape of the natural world."
* ShellShockedVeteran:
** It's made clear in ''The Lost World'' that Malcolm does ''not'' want to go anywhere near Isla Sorna and although his {{Foreshadowing}} is delivered in a joking manner, viewers also know that he's remembering the brutal deaths of Muldoon, Nedry, Arnold, and Gennaro whenever he utters a warning.
---> '''Malcolm''': Oh, yeah. "Ooh, aah." That's how it always starts. But then later, there's running, and, um...screaming.
** When the ''T. rex'' roar is heard for the first time in ''Lost World'', he gets a brief ThousandYardStare, clearly having flashbacks to the ''rex'' attack from the first movie. Fitting, as he's the only one on the island who knows exactly what a ''rex'' attack is like.
---> '''Malcolm:''' [[ThisIsGonnaSuck Hang on, this is gonna be bad.]]
* ShirtlessScene: Downplayed. (see MrFanservice above)
* SitcomArchnemesis: Definitely has this vibe with John Hammond. The two develop an adversarial relationship due to their strong disagreements with the park and its vision. It's usually played for laughs due to Malcolm's never-ending snark and Hammond's growing frustration with him, and even while the former is recovering from his injuries in the film's second half, the two still can't resist throwing passive-aggressive barbs at one another.
* SmallRoleBigImpact: In ''Fallen Kingdom'', Malcolm appears in exactly two scenes (in the opening and the very end of the movie) and never interacts with the main cast, but the speech he gives in the beginning of the movie motivates the US government to not attempt to save the Isla Nublar surviving dinosaurs from a volcano, which is the reason Owen and Claire are sent back to the island, and thus starts the whole plot.
* SparedByTheAdaptation: In the ''Jurassic Park'' novel, he was said to have died of his injuries. This was [[RetCanon retconned]] in the novel of ''The Lost World'' (which was created and released after the first film), and completely averted in the films.
* TallDarkAndSnarky: Dresses mostly in black (the second novel [[LampshadeHanging even has him making a joke about it]]).
* TookALevelInBadass: Before everything becomes chaotic in the first film, he spends most of his screen time to snark here and there, and only there to annoy the others.
* VerbalTic: Tends to add in an "uh" in every other sentence. He also tends to get caught piecing together his sentences, giving him an odd halting syntax to his speech.

!!!'''Apperances:''' ''Film/JurassicPark''
-->''"And we can charge anything we want, 2,000 a day, 10,000 a day, and people will pay it. And then there's the merchandise..."''
The attorney sent on behalf of Jurassic Park's investors to investigate the safety of the park after several reports of missing or dead workers.
----
* AdaptationalJerkass: In the book, Gennaro wasn't that nice of a guy, but he had some moments of heroism and was genuinely concerned about the park's safety. Here, he's a DirtyCoward who [[spoiler:abandoned Lex and Tim]] and dropped all his concerns when he saw Jurassic Park's money-making potential.
* AdaptationalWimp: In the book, Gennaro is a CowardlyLion who, despite having several fearful moments, goes along with Muldoon to find the kids and later, to catch Rexy, ''beats a ''Velociraptor'' in a hand-to-hand fight''[[note]]granted, in the book the ''Velociraptors'' are closer to their much smaller real-life size[[/note]], intimidates a ship captain with {{Technobabble}}, and survives to the end. [[spoiler:In the film, he becomes a DirtyCoward who dies a particularly embarrassing death. This is mostly because he's more of an adaptation of Ed Regis than of the original Gennaro.]]
* AmoralAttorney: Sure, Gennaro, leave the poor little ''children'' behind to face a ''Tyrannosaurus rex''... ALONE!!!
* AssholeVictim: [[spoiler:He shows his true colors when the ''Tyrannosaurus rex'' makes her appearance, [[DirtyCoward abandoning children to die and hiding in a nearby bathroom]]. He's still there when Rexy breaks it open and gets quickly eaten.]]
* CampingACrapper: [[spoiler:He ends up being eaten by Rexy while sitting on a toilet]].
* TheCanKickedHim: [[spoiler:How Gennaro goes out in the film. Particularly embarrassing because Rexy smashed down the walls of building he was in, leaving him right there on the toilet for all to see, just before shredding him]].
* TheComicallySerious: Gennaro's mind is all business, which nicely serves as stark contrast to Hammond's jovial CoolOldGuy DeadpanSnarker persona. When Hammond snarks that he brings a "rock star", Gennaro's response is to look confused and say "Huh?" After they got out of helicopter and were riding jeeps to go to the park, he firmly reminds Hammond that they're not there for vacation. Even after seeing the park, the first thing that came to his mind is [[OnlyInItForTheMoney how to make money from the park as much as possible]]. And when Hammond mockingly addresses him as "blood-sucking lawyer", he merely responds with a confused [[ComicallyMissingThePoint "Thank you"]].
* CompositeCharacter: Of the novel version of Gennaro and Ed Regis (from the novel). He's a lawyer like Gennaro, but he takes on Regis' personality as a DirtyCoward. He also inherits [[AdaptationalNiceGuy John]] [[AdaptationalHeroism Hammond's]] pennypinching motivational traits.
* DeadpanSnarker: "What's the matter, kid? You never had lambchops?"
* DeathByAdaptation: [[spoiler:Torn apart by Rexy as a KarmicDeath for leaving the kids alone during the attack (the exact death of Ed Regis on the novel, with some changes). His novel version survives all the way to the end of the book and is more of a CowardlyLion with a few moments of hidden badass.]]
* DeathByGenreSavviness: [[spoiler:He knows to run like the dickens the first second he hears Rexy seems to be breaking out. However, Rexy finds him anyway and he ends up being her only human victim.]]
* DeathByIrony: When the ''T. rex'' shows up, he flees the car and leaves Lex and Tim to their fate while he hides in a bathroom stall so as to not get hurt. After Malcolm gets Rexy to chase him, she destroys the bathroom stall, and kills Gennaro.
* DemotedToExtra: [[spoiler:Due to DeathByAdaptation, his role is ''much'' smaller than in the book, and his CharacterDevelopment is excised completely.]]
* DirtyCoward: Pulls an [[AdaptedOut Ed Regis]] and [[spoiler: abandons Lex and Tim once he realizes the Rex's fence is no longer electrified. He later pays for the ultimate act of cowardice with his life via some LaserGuidedKarma. It's such a weaselly, low act that Grant and Ian are visibly stunned that he left the innocent children to be eaten by the dinosaur to save his own skin. Poor Lex's panicked whisper of "He left us. He left us!" is haunting and later becomes almost a MadnessMantra for her.]]
* DoomedContrarian: He first disagrees with the scientists, then abandons the party.
* HalfTheManHeUsedToBe / LudicrousGibs: [[spoiler:Muldoon finds his body...and Ellie finds his body a few meters away.]]
* HateSink: He's an untrustworthy, money-grubbing coward who [[spoiler:leaves kids to die to save his own skin.]] He's only behind Nedry in terms of repulsive behavior.
* HeroicBSOD: Well, for a given definition of "[[JerkWithAHeartOfJerk hero]]." This is his reaction to witnessing the ''Velociraptors'' being fed. He simply stares in stupefied horror, like what he's witnessing is so brutal his brain switched off. [[spoiler:It's even possible he was ''fortunate'' enough to have died long before they got loose, considering being shaken to death by Rexy is quicker than "[[FateWorseThanDeath You are alive... when they start to eat you]]."]]
* JerkassHasAPoint: While Ellie and Grant are tending to the sick ''Triceratops'', Gennaro is the first to suggest that they head back to the Visitor's Center before the storm arrives. Granted, he was in turn reminded by a sudden clap of thunder.
* KarmicDeath: [[spoiler:He is killed by the very creature whose tender mercies he had just abandoned two helpless children to.]]
* OhCrap: His reaction to the ''T. rex''.
* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: [[spoiler:He leaves the kids alone and runs for shelter once Rexy gets out of the paddock. Unfortunately for him, said "shelter" was not really ''that'' secure when it came to handling a ''T. rex'' bursting in...]]
* UndignifiedDeath: Dies whimpering for his life, [[CampingACrapper on a toilet]], after cowardly abandoning two children to the T. rex.
* YouDontLookLikeYou: In the book, he's short and muscular, while here he's relatively thin and tall.

-->''"It's a UNIX system, I know this! It's the files for the whole park. It's like a phone book -- it tells you everything."''
John Hammond's granddaughter and Tim Murphy's older sister. Unlike her brother, Lex isn't a fan of dinosaurs and prefers to spend her time on the computer.
----
* AdaptationalIntelligence: In addition to an age lift, Lex is given knowledge of computer systems that she didn't have in the books. This change is likely to make sure that Lex doesn't come across as utterly unlikable and useless, as she does in the book.
* AdaptationalNiceGuy: Unlike her book counterpart, who was a whiny, sports-obssessed, SpoiledBrat who enjoyed bullying Tim for his fondness toward dinosaurs along with her dad, she's more friendly, easygoing and seems interested, or at least neutral, toward the dinos. She and Tim still snark at each other a lot but they clearly care for each other.
* AgeLift: In the novel, she's the younger sibling.
* AwLookTheyReallyDoLoveEachOther: Lex and Tim snark a lot at each other during the second half of the movie. But when it seems Tim would have died from the electric fence encounter, [[InelegantBlubbering she is bawling her eyes out.]]
* BigBrotherInstinct: In the kitchen, she attracts the raptors' attention so that they go after her instead of Tim.
* ChekhovsHobby: Her computer hacking.
* DecompositeCharacter: In the book, Tim knows both about informatics and dinosaurs, while Lex is useless.
* DemotedToExtra: Has a cameo appearance in ''The Lost World'' along her brother when Malcolm visits Hammond in the beginning.
* GirlinessUpgrade: Appears to have undergone this between the first and second films.
* HairOfGoldHeartOfGold: Crossed with ChildrenAreInnocent -- she's clearly very well-intentioned, and doesn't take being abandoned by Gennaro well.
* IdiotBall: Sure, ''shining a flashlight at Rexy'' will scare her away! Bonus points for her being about to ignore them all in the first place. [[JustifiedTrope Justified]] in that she's a terrified child who obviously isn't thinking clearly.
* InsistentTerminology: "I prefer to be called a 'hacker.'"
* KidAppealCharacter: InUniverse example: Hammond calls her and Timmy the "park's target audience" when he firsts introduces them to the rest of the visitors.
* LittleMissBadass: [[AdaptationalBadass Handles herself better within the park and brings more useful skills to the table than her novel version]].
* TheMillstone: Neither her nor Tim can really be blamed for being TheLoad since they're both just kids caught up in a horrifying situation, but Lex's decision to grab a lantern and start spotlighting an angry T. rex turns her into this. Had she simply froze in terror and done nothing, both children would have been in ''less'' danger.
* NiceHat: She wears a baseball cap in the first film, which is likely a homage to her sports-loving depiction in the novel.
* TheLoad: Moreso than Tim; Lex does extremely dumb things, but she has her useful and smart moments, too (in the film anyway). Both the film version of Tim and the book version of Lex can be forgiven as they are young kids.
* OhCrap: An epic one, as seen in the picture, when she spots a Velociraptor shadow through the cafeteria wall.
* PlayfulHacker: At the least, this is [[InsistentTerminology what she insists on being called]]. She is able to reboot the park's computers when the grownups and people who know about the systems are either dead or too occupied elsewhere to help.
* PrecociousCrush: Lex quickly gets one on Dr. Grant.
* [[ScreamingWoman Screaming Girl]]: And how! In fact, Spielberg cast Ariana Richards because he thought she was a good screamer.
* SheIsAllGrownUp: As pointed out by Ian during her cameo in the second film.
* {{Tomboy}}: The book version of Lex is a huge baseball fan. The movie version of Lex is older and more nerdy but she still wears a baseball cap and seems pretty capable at things like climbing, so she might count to a lesser degree.
* TookALevelInBadass: Spends most of first movie as TheLoad. When the raptors attack, her hacking skill becomes useful to help the heroes. Her and Tim working together to trap one of the Raptors in a walk in Freezer is pretty awesome too.

* AgeLift: In the novel, he's the older sibling.
* DemotedToExtra: Has a cameo appearance in ''The Lost World'' along his sister when Malcolm visits Hammond in the beginning.
* DentedIron: Because of repeatedly taking what even adults would be lucky to survive, by the end of the film, he has a limp, his hair is singed, his arm is bandaged, one of his ears is bleeding, and he has a dazed look about him. ([[https://twitter.com/the_tim_murphy and according to a]] CharacterBlog, [[GallowsHumor hilariously]] [[ShellShockedVeteran traumatized]]).
* HeroWorshipper: Tim is a huge fan of Dr. Grant, largely because Grant is a paleontologist and KidsLoveDinosaurs.
* KidAppealCharacter: InUniverse example: Hammond calls him and Lex the "park's target audience" when he first introduces them to the rest of the visitors.
* IdiotBall: Give the gun to the grownups before the raptors break in, Timmy.
* TheLoad: As mentioned above, moreso Tim; Lex does extremely dumb things, but she has her useful and smart moments too (in the film anyway). Both the film version of Tim and the book version of Lex can be forgiven as they are young kids. He ''is'' smart enough to lure the ''Velociraptor'' into the freezer and lock it in, too.
* MadeOfIron: This kid survives nearly being eaten by Rexy, getting knocked off a cliff while still in the jeep, having said jeep fall down a tree and then almost crush him, getting shocked on the high-voltage paddock fences, and finally being stalked and attacked by a group of escaped raptors.
* MotorMouth: When Dr. Grant first meets Tim, he has to put up with Tim gushing about him and the book he wrote.

->''"They're going to shave our heads and we'll have to make root beer in the toilet!"''
Claire's two nephews who go to visit their aunt and enjoy a vacation at Jurassic World at a rather unfortunate time.
----
!!Both of them
* ActionSurvivor: The siblings were never equipped to handle dangerous dinosaurs, but they manage to survive through teamwork and their own skills.
* AwLookTheyReallyDoLoveEachOther:
** Their relationship with each other certainly qualifies. Zach can be aloof and a bit of a bully, but he's always there for Gray and makes sure he's safe.
** A more minor case, but while Zach seems very disinterested by his girlfriend's little "farewell" before the trip and he spends the trip ogling other women, he still takes the time to look at her little "miss you" message during the ''Mosasaurus'' feeding.
* BadassAdorable: Both of them are wide-eyed, cute kids. Zach manages to zap a rogue ''Velociraptor'' and Gray manages to outwit Delta using just his quick wits and an Innovation Center hologram.
* FoolishSiblingResponsibleSibling: Zach and Gray, respectively. When the visitors are told to return from their ride, Gray wants to obey the instructions, but Zach opts to continue venturing, despite not knowing what kind of problem the Park is having.
* ForWantOfANail: ''Camp Cretaceous'' reveals that Claire wanted them to join the rest of the campers so that they could be with people thier own ages. [[spoiler:Ironically, not going to the camp actually turned out for the best, as the kids aren't able to make it to the docks before the last ferry leaves]].
* HarmfulToMinors: Service for children and teens continues as normal in the grand tradition of ''Jurassic Park'' and it's sequels as Zach and Gray endure a seriously traumatic series of events. They're attacked several times, their loved ones are placed in danger and people die horribly right in front of them with some regularity.
* KidAppealCharacter: By virtue of being the only kids among the human characters.
* {{Nephewism}}: Claire's close familial connection to Zach and Gray is required to justify her [[TookALevelInBadass taking a considerable level in badass]]. Only something as personal as the endangerment of her young nephews could spur her character into going all out MamaBear on marauding dinosaurs.
* SensitiveGuyAndManlyMan: Shown perfectly when they think their parent are getting a divorce -- Gray is openly crying and not ashamed, Zach is telling him to stop and toughen up, explaining that "life isn't fair."
* ShipperOnDeck: They both, especially Zach, think Owen is a great boyfriend for Claire.
* SiblingTeam: They work together to survive in Jurassic World when the ''I. rex'' gets loose.
* SiblingYinYang: Zach is a cynical JerkWithAHeartOfGold and is very low-energy, and he is initially unimpressed by Jurassic World, thinking it is for little kids; Gray is an optimistic NiceGuy with a abundant amount of energy, and his {{establishing character moment}} is fanboying about visiting Jurassic World.
* SnarkToSnarkCombat: Occasionally between the two of them, such as when Gray catches Zach staring at some pretty girls.
-->'''Gray:''' ''[loudly]'' What exactly do you expect to achieve by just staring at them?
-->'''Zach:''' ...thanks.
-->'''Gray:''' You're welcome.
!!Zach
* BewareTheNiceOnes: If you mess with Gray, Zach will thwart you. [[spoiler: Right, electroshocked raptor and hungry ''I. rex''?]]
* BigBrotherBully: Zach is a mild case for Gray, which is one of the reasons their mother is upset with Claire for foisting them off on Zara, but he stops once the real danger begins. Karen exaggerating it a bit seems to be a sign that she's often been a [[ParentalNeglect neglectful parent]] and similar to Claire in regards that she's not very attentive to her family and probably only assume Zach is BigBrotherBully on superficial level. That's also probably why Zach doesn't seem to think much of her, either, given that his father at one point semi-sternly told him to listen to her when she's talking to him and Gray.
* BigBrotherInstinct: Zach always makes sure Gray is safe when the ''I. rex'' or other dinosaurs start to attack. [[spoiler:He manages to save Gray's life when the ''I. rex'' grasps Gray's belt and tries to pull him out. Using ''one hand'' (as the other is holding Gray back), he manages to unclip the belt and save his little brother.]]
* CanNotSpitItOut: Zach as regards saying "I love you" to his girlfriend.
* ChickMagnet: He doesn't cheat on his girlfriend but it's clear he's able to attract a lot of the girls he interacts with in Jurassic World.
* ChivalrousPervert: Zach is visibly ogling every girl in the park despite having a girlfriend back at home.
* CruelToBeKind: While telling his younger brother to stop crying over their parent's divorce is kind of a mean move, Zach does have a point that there is nothing Gray can do about it and he will need to deal with it. He does try to cheer him up afterward so it's more him just not being the sentimental type than being a Jerkass to his brother.
* DeadpanSnarker: Zach seems to have "deadpan bemusement" as his default facial expression, whether he's talking to his brother, his girlfriend or his aunt.
-->'''Claire:''' The last time I saw you must have been, what, three, four ye--
-->'''Zach:''' ''[bluntly]'' Seven. But, you know, close.
* HiddenDepths:
** Zach is revealed as a talented mechanic, able to repair an original Jurassic Park Jeep left to rot in the jungle for 20 years. He is also a lot more active than his bored teenage look lets on when dinosaurs start attacking.
** He's also remarkably level-headed and logical during ''Indominus's'' attack on the gyrosphere and the immediate aftermath. While Gray understandably loses his head and is screaming and crying, Zach does his very best to try to calm him down and get them out of danger while they're still in the gyrosphere (though it's spoiled by their being hit by the clubbed tail of an ankylosaur) and he also figures out exactly when to unlatch both himself and Gray as ''Indominus'' destroys the gyrosphere, ''and'' to not immediately try running as soon as they hit the ground lest they be sliced to ribbons by the broken glass. To top it all off, when they jump into water to finally escape from Indominus, he holds Gray back underwater and gestures that the dinosaur is probably still up above them, saving both of their lives by tricking Indominus into thinking they weren't coming back out of the water.
* InformedFlaw: According to Karen, Zach "can be so mean" to Gray. While Zach is usually pretty aloof towards Gray and isn't especially nice, he's not actively malicious either and shows a powerful BigBrotherInstinct towards Gray when they're both in danger.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Even his mother describes him as "mean." When it comes down to it, however, he proves himself to be a loyal and protective brother.
* KickTheDog: When Gray is clearly upset by his parents' apparent decision to get a divorce, Zach's response is to tell his crying, distressed younger brother that he has toughen up and that it's not his choice what happens to their parents. [[JerkassHasAPoint He's right]], but it's still pretty damn harsh.
* NervesOfSteel: He is rather good at staying calm and rational in a crisis.
* PetTheDog: When Gray grows increasingly distraught about their parents' upcoming divorce, Zach decides to take their Gyroscope off-road in order to distract his little brother.
* SavvyGuyEnergeticGirl: He seems to have this dynamic with his girlfriend as while she is shown to be bubbly, Zach is shown to be somewhat lethargic.
!!Gray
* AmbiguousDisorder: Gray is highly intelligent, very quiet, and obsessed with numbers and facts (able to spout out the exact make, model, and ''paint identity'' of a Jeep on sight). According to his actor, [[http://www.slashfilm.com/ty-simpkins-jurassic-world-interview/ Gray was originally written as autistic.]] Although the mention in the final film was dropped, his portrayal doesn't seem to divert much from it.
* AudienceSurrogate: Gray's unstoppable excitement to get into the park as the iconic John Williams theme blares reflects the attitude of many a fan happy about the franchise's return, and represents the view of any dinosaur fan who would finally get to see non-bird dinosaurs in real life.
-->'''Gray:''' I don't wanna wait anymore!!!
* {{Fanboy}}: Gray is a ''huge'' expert on dinosaurs.
* TheGlomp: Gray glomps his aunt Claire at one point. Her reaction is priceless. Probably because his head is ''exactly'' the right height to fit ''right'' in her breasts.
* JawDrop: PlayedForDrama. Gray's expression when [[spoiler:Zara]] dies mirrors how the viewer would react if they witnessed [[CruelAndUnusualDeath something like that]] in person.
* {{Keet}}: Gray has a tendency to get really excited when it comes to dinosaurs. Indeed, take a look at [[http://jurassicparkfilms.tumblr.com/post/117791826598/new-footage-of-jurassic-worlds-innovation-center this adorableness.]]
* MotorMouth: Gray can't seem to stop talking whenever dinosaurs are involved.
* NiceGuy: Gray is sensitive, polite, and energetic.
* ThousandYardStare: {{Downplayed|Trope}}. The look on Gray's face when he sees [[spoiler:Zara]] die certainly looks like this, but Zach snaps him out of it immediately.
* {{Troll}}: Gray is a lot smarter than he looks. One could wonder if he spoke out to the girls about Zach staring at them just to be a troll.
