00:00 Jurassic Park by director Steven Spielberg is arguably the most successful film of the
00:06 early 90s. A memorable part of the film were the characters Lex and Timmy.
00:12 The grandchildren of Jurassic Park owner John Hammond were portrayed by Ariana Richards
00:17 and Joseph Mazzello. Let's take a look at what has become of them since.
00:23 Joseph Mazzello played Tim in Jurassic Park and The Lost World Jurassic Park. Afterwards
00:28 he continued to work as an actor. After graduating from high school he studied
00:34 film science at the University of Southern California. Joseph used the salary he earned
00:39 from his cameo in The Lost World to pay for his schooling.
00:43 Steven Spielberg himself also gave the actor a recommendation to the university. Talk about
00:49 the right connections. Mazzello has been seen in a couple of noteworthy
00:54 projects more recently. He was in the social network as future billionaire
00:59 Dustin Moskovitz and he also acted in the Emmy award winning mini series The Pacific.
01:04 It appears that Spielberg who produced the series still hasn't forgotten about Joseph.
01:10 He played the role of Queen bassist John Deacon in the music biopic Bohemian Rhapsody.
01:18 But the former child star is also active behind the camera as a screenwriter and director.
01:25 While Mazzello remains closely tied to the movie business, fellow actress Ariana Richards
01:29 has pulled back a bit. She is now mainly active as an artist and
01:34 has hardly appeared in any significant production since her cameo in The Lost World.
01:40 Ariana is currently focusing on painting as she revealed in an interview with Hey You
01:45 Guys. Nevertheless, she has not ruled out a comeback
01:50 to the big screen because her love of acting is still there.
01:55 Ariana Richards has also taken time to raise a family.
02:00 She has been married to Mark Bolton since 2013. Their daughter was born in 2015.
02:06 In September 2019, Joseph Mazzello as well as Ariana Richards revealed something to Entertainment
02:13 Tonight. They are open to reprising their roles as
02:16 Lex and Tim. There were rumors that Mazzello was returning
02:19 in Jurassic World Dominion, but in 2020 he said that he hadn't been contacted yet.
