In the Michael Crichton book, BD Wong’s Dr. Henry Wu had a much bigger role than the one he ended up having in Steven Spielberg’s 1993 blockbuster. Colin Trevorrow directs the epic action-adventure from a screenplay he wrote with Derek Connolly, with BD Wong’s Dr. Henry Wu as the only Jurassic Park alum featured in Jurassic World.

  1. RE: BD Wong attends premiere of Jurassic World: Love Dr. Wong. B.D. Wong played the marriage counselor Dr. Wong for Kevin Spacey and Judy Davis in movie “Ref” which is terrific.
