  John Hammond is the wealthy owner of Jurassic Park and founder of InGen. According to the novel and Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom, his full name is John Alfred Hammond, but in the 1998 video game Trespasser and in a deleted scene from the second film, he is referred to as John Parker Hammond. Although he is not modeled after anyone in particular, Crichton explained in an interview that Hammond is like the "dark side of Walt Disney".
