Appeared In: Jurassic Park & The Lost World The man who made it all possible, the genial, visionary John Hammond in the original film was a character whose ambitions were easy to sympathize with, even if his dreams were destined for failure. His brief role in the first sequel was more than welcome, as his turn from capitalist to naturalist and reversal of his dislike for Ian Malcolm felt pretty earned, with his final words in the series - quoting Malcolm that life will find a way - giving the character a poignant sendoff.
