Among his many films and performances, the following video clip is arguably the definitive few minutes of the late actor and director Richard Attenborough who passed away yesterday. Through the novel of Michael Crichton and the cinematic vision of Steven Spielberg, Jurassic Park became a global sensation. Impressively, this movie franchise is probably as popular today as it was twenty years ago. And the innovative mad man/character behind this never-before-seen animal preserve was John Hammond, as portrayed by Richard Attenborough.

Like Dr. Alan Grant and Dr. Ellie Sattler, we all remember when John Hammond first brought us to Jurassic Park:

Happy Monday and RIP Richard Attenborough.
