Owen Grady is one of the main protagonists of "Jurassic World" and its sequel "Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom". Pratt and "Jurassic World" director Colin Trevorrow described Owen as a combination of Alan Grant and Ian Malcolm, with Pratt stating, "He's got a little bit of the Goldblum cynicism but also the Sam Neill excitement at the wonder of the biology of it". Owen is an on-site animal behaviorist at Jurassic World who was formerly in the U.S. Navy. He has romantic feelings for Claire Dearing, though they agreed not to pursue a relationship due to their conflicting personalities. Owen opposes genetically modifying dinosaurs to increase the appeal factor for audiences.
