29 years ago back in 1993,Jurassic Parkdebuted for the first time and set off a series of films that are still being released today.

As it happens: the people love dinosaurs.

So much so, that they're still turning out to theatres nowadays, withJurassic Park'smost recent instalment:Jurassic World Dominionpremiering on June 9, 2022.

And, as is customary of an iconic first movie release, the cast from movie one have in many cases, gone on to significant stardom.

With some of the stars have returning time and time again to appear in the franchise, others have taken a different direction with their career.

So, we thought we'd take a look at what the stars are doing now, 29 years later.

Jeff Goldblum

Before Goldblum appeared in the first edition of Jurassic Park back in 1993, he had found fame in quirky roles like playing the Scientist in David Cronenberg'sThe Fly.And his fame only increased post-Jurassic Park.

He's appeared inIndependence Day, Morning Glory, The Grand Budapest Hotel, andIsle of Dogs.

More recently, he joined the Marvel Cinematic Universe inThor: Ragnarokplaying the Grandmaster. All the while, he has reprised his roles in Jurassic Sequels includingThe Lost World: Jurassic Park, Jurassic World: Fallen KingdomandJurassic World Dominion.

Outside of acting, Goldblum is in a jazz band, Jeff Goldblum and the Mildred Snitzer Orchestra, who released their first album,The Capitol Studios Sessions, in 2018.

In 2014, Goldblum married his wife Emilie Livingston and welcomed their firstborn, Charlie Ocean, on July 4, 2015. Sticking with the nature-based names, they welcomed their second son River Joe on April 7, 2017.

Laura Dern

Laura Dern was already a star when she accepted a role as courageous paleobotanist Dr. Ellie Sattler onJurassic Park. At only 23, she had already received an Oscar nomination for the filmRambling Rose.

FollowingJurassic Park,she starred in Clint Eastwood'sA Perfect World, October Sky, The Fault in Our Stars, Star Wars: The Last JediandBig Little Lies.

She is a well-respected actor with an Oscar, Emmy and five Golden Globe Awards to her name. And, like many of her counterparts, she reprised her role inJurassic World: Dominion.

“It never occurred to me that I would revisit Ellie, to be honest, mostly because I never could have imagined that the franchise would continue the way that it has,” Dern recently told Vogue.

“But if I was gonna come back, I felt like I had to be protective of a character that meant so much to other people – not just someone whose origin story I cared about when I was 23.”

Sam Neill

New Zealand actor, Sam Neill played Dr Grant in the originalJurassic Park —already a well-established actor when he took the role.

Post-Jurassic Park, he was a strong contender forJames Bond, but he didn't want the role.

“First of all, I wouldn’t have taken the role if they’d asked me to do it,” he told Den of Geek recently.

“It was the last time that I was bullied into doing a screen test. My agent insisted that I go and do it, [saying] it would be rude otherwise. So reluctantly I went out to Pinewood [Studios] and did this silly thing for a part I never wanted to do.”

James Bond aside, Neill has an impressive acting repertoire, withThe Tudor,Peaky BlindersandThor: Ragnarokunder his belt.

In his personal life, Neill reconnected with one of his sons, Andrew, in 2014, who was adopted after Neill fathered him in his early 20s.

The actor told The Times the two "went looking for" each other and that they had a "much more grownup" reunion than he expected.
