"I don't control the raptors, it's a relationship. Based on mutual respect." - Owen Grady
A former Navy soldier, Owen Grady is a dinosaur researcher employed by Jurassic World, and one of two main protagonists in Jurassic World, the other being Claire Dearing. He conducted a behavioral research on velociraptors.
After getting out of the Navy, Owen was hired by the InGen Security Division to train and research the behaviors of velociraptors.
In 2013, after discovering that the pack dynamic of velociraptors was more complex than previously thought, he recommended his old friend Barry to Vic Hoskins to help in the training of the raptors. Barry was eventually hired as trainer and caretaker of the raptors. By 2015, he was the alpha of a velociraptor pack which consisted of Blue, Delta, Echo, and Charlie. As he worked for Jurassic World, he lived in a Sunrio bungalow in the outskirts of the park.
Owen is played by Chris Pratt, who also played Star Lord in Guardians of the Galaxy.
