Dennis Nedry

Dennis Theodore Nedry, also known as Dennis Nedry, is one of the main characters from the Jurassic Park series.
== Charactah Account ==
Dennis is a greedy and obnoxious computer scientist who is in charge of the system's programming and networking of Jurassic Park's computers.
While a skilled technician, Dennis was a thickheaded, entitled, and inconsiderate man; he looked down on his co-workers and was despised by them as a result. In addition, he was also very slovenly and did not look after his workspace. His actions also show that he was willing to retort to illegal and unethical tactics when he feels wronged.
The events leading up to his death are almost comical due to the sheer run of bad luck he encounters. During his escape, Dennis is caught in a tropical storm, crashes his car, gets lost, gets the car stuck, slips and falls down a hill, loses his glasses, loses the embryo can, and finally gets blinded and ripped apart by a dinosaur.

== Trivia ==
* A free project emulates Dennis' desktop including the infamous error animation Jurassic Systems.
* Dennis uses an Apple Macintosh Quadra 700 and an SGI Crimson with Unix installed for his computers. It is the latter computer that Lex Murphy uses to reactivate the computerized door locks in the Control Room.
* Dennis Nedry appeared in the music video to Weird Al's Jurassic Park. He is seen shutting down the park's power.
* All three clothes Nedry wears were obviously based on all three main characters of another film directed by Steven Spielberg, The Goonies, namely Chunk, Mouth, and Mikey.
* In Lost World, Ian criticizes Peter for twisting the facts surrounding the deaths of three people (Donald Gennaro, Ray Arnold and Robert Muldoon). While it is not specifically stated, it is clear that Dennis was not one of the deaths Ian was talking about, probably because Ian was unaware of his death.
* When Arnold discovers Whitrbt.obj and no employees can find Nedry, John Hammond suggests that they contact Nedry's family in New Jersey. However, in a deleted scene from Lost World Peter Ludlow mentions the families of Donald Gennaro, Robert Muldoon, and John Ray Arnold suing InGen for their deaths, but does not mention the Nedry family. A faint possibility is that Nedry had no surviving kin after his death until the timeframe of Lost World.
* His surname of "Nedry" is an anagram of "nerdy", which was an accurate depiction of the character outside of his despicable behavior, as his legitimate career and workstation strongly suggested a nerdy personality.
* The movie version is considered as worse than the novel version, as the movie version was a greedy and entitled man who was eager to sell other people around him for money, while the novel version had financial problems and was abused by the novel version of John Hammond, who was far more despicable than his movie counterpart. Another difference in the novel was that Nedry intended to deliver the smuggled embyros to Dodgson, who would meet him at the dock, then Nedry planned to get back to the visitor's center to countermand his sabotage in the hopes no one would have questioned his extended disappearance.
* When Dennis gets so nervous towards the Dilophosaurus he called out "nice boy" but it is actually a female.
