Why Jurassic Park Made Richard Attenborough Come Out Of Acting Retirement

If a representative of Jurassic Park had not run interference, the late Richard Attenborough would have stayed in acting retirement instead of appearing in the role of John Hammond. By the time of his unforgettable stint in the 1993 Jurassic Park blockbuster, Attenborough had already boasted an extensive career in Hollywood. After serving in the Royal Air Force in the Second World War, the young Attenborough would go on not only to act, but to produce, direct, and head drama schools and associations.
