Which actor plays Dr. Henry Wu in the Jurassic World films?

The story behind the answer

B. D. Wong plays Dr. Henry Wu in the Jurassic World films.

Wong first played Wu in the 1993 film Jurassic Park, where the geneticist is part of the team explaining how dinosaur DNA was reconstructed. The character returned in Jurassic World and became a major figure in the later sequels.

In the Jurassic World era, Wu is closely associated with genetic engineering, hybrid dinosaurs, and the commercial use of prehistoric DNA. His storyline connects the original film’s cloning experiments with the increasingly ambitious biotechnology of the newer films.

The actor’s professional name is written “B. D. Wong,” with initials and periods. Sources and fan discussions sometimes shorten it to “BD Wong,” but the canonical credited form is B. D. Wong. He is also known for television, stage work, and other film roles.
