Lia: It’s a Jurassic World for you. Your character Dr. Henry Wu appeared in JURASSIC PARK in 1993. In the 2015 sequel Dr. Wu was the only character to return to the “Jurassic” franchise. What was the experience then, and now? Can you share anything about JURASSIC WORLD: FALLEN KINGDOM, set for release in 2018? '''

BD: Then, it was frankly a little insignificant feeling, with the resounding exception of working for one wonderful day with Mr. Spielberg. Then, the character just kind of faded into the woodwork, nobody cared much about him or paid much mind to him, and that made me so sad, because he was so great in the book, and 1993 ideas about race in Hollywood kept him from being more than a run-of-the-mill Asian scientist. Then, that pendulum swung very far out and very far back…and it was a surprise when Colin Trevorrow invited me back to the Jurassic Party. And that time (JURASSIC WORLD 1)  I felt the character was a little more important to the story and established as a kind of oddly iconic character of the franchise. This time (JURASSIC WORLD 2), I felt he was even more “ensconced” in the franchise, and I could enjoy the work more. I will be interested to hear how the fans respond to the character – and what happens to him – this time! '''
