Jurassic Park franchise actors Sam Neill, Laura Dern, Jeff Goldblum and Chris Pratt reflect on past and future

More than three decades after the 1993 release of *Jurassic Park*, the original cast members have taken divergent paths. Sam Neill, Laura Dern, Jeff Goldblum, Samuel L. Jackson and others are profiled, noting how some remained in Hollywood, some returned for the newer *Jurassic World* installments, and others stepped away from the spotlight. The piece highlights the lasting cultural impact of the film and its continued relevance to new generations.

In a separate interview, actor Chris Pratt, who played Owen Grady in the *Jurassic World* spin‑offs, said he would be open to returning for a potential *Jurassic World 5*—but only if the script honors the franchise’s earlier stories. He emphasized that narrative quality, rather than nostalgia alone, would determine his participation, underscoring ongoing interest in expanding the series.
