TRIVIA---director Colin Trevorrow had a cameo in JURASSIC WORLD as the voice of Mr. DNA. The original voice of Mr. DNA in JURASSIC PARK was by voice actor Greg Burson, who replaced the late Mel Blanc as the voice of Bugs Bunny and voiced many other cartoon characters.
In 2004, a drunk Burson was arrested after he barricaded himself in his house he shared with three female roommates, one of whom he took hostage. Burson surrendered after six hours with a police officer saying, "He was so drunk, we couldn't tell if he was trying to do one of his voices or was just slurring his words." The incident led to Burson being blacklisted which ended his career and led to chronic alcoholism. Burson died of diabetes and arteriosclerosis in 2008.

To clarify my original trivia post----trivia is a little-known fact that can or cannot be humorous.
 
The trivia about the voice of Mr. DNA explains why Colin Trevorrow provided the voice of Mr. DNA in JURASSIC WORLD instead of the original voice actor, Greg Burson, who provided the voice in JURASSIC PARK. The trivia is not an attempt to find humor in the situation, only to state the facts of the situation.

A long time ago, I posted trivia about why the original actor, the Barbasol can man, in JURASSIC PARK did not return for a sequel---because he was sent to prison for a sex crime---and why a different actor was brought in to replace him. This also was not meant to be humorous---only to explain why the original actor did not return. Like the Mr. DNA trivia, someone complained about the Barbasol can man trivia, too.
