Who voiced the animated Mr. DNA in the 1993 film Jurassic Park?

Greg Burson voiced the animated Mr. DNA in the 1993 film Jurassic Park.

Mr. DNA is the cheerful animated character who appears in the Visitor Center’s educational presentation. He explains how InGen supposedly used DNA recovered from mosquitoes trapped in amber to recreate dinosaurs, making a complicated genetics premise understandable to the park’s visitors and the film’s audience.

Burson was an American voice actor known for animation and character work. His performance helped give Mr. DNA an upbeat, memorable personality that contrasts with the scientific danger unfolding elsewhere in the park. The character was created specifically for the film rather than adapted as a pre-existing star from Michael Crichton’s novel.

Viewers sometimes confuse Burson with Richard Kiley, whose voice is heard as the Jurassic Park tour narrator. Frank Welker is also strongly associated with the movie because he supplied dinosaur vocal effects, but he did not voice Mr. DNA. Later Jurassic productions used different performers for versions of the character.
