Lewis Dodgson is a minor antagonist in the 1993 film Jurassic Park and the main antagonist of the 2022 film Jurassic World: Dominion. He is a shady individual who comes from Biosyn, a bio-engineering company that is rivals with InGen and Mantah Corp. At first, Dodgson was an employee who appointed Dennis Nedry to steal fifteen dinosaur embryos from InGen as a corporate spy, leading to the downfall of Jurassic Park in the process. Years later, now Biosyn's CEO, Dodgson schemes a way to blackmail the world's population to rely on his company's GMOs to survive or starve to extinction when he lets some giant locusts devour half of the crops of the United States of America.
While not much about Dodgson's personality is shown in the movie, there are subtle hints of it. He is depicted as a very secretive and humorless man, as shown by the fact that he wears a hat and sunglasses to make himself look inconspicuous, and telling Nedry not to use his name, only for Nedry to announce him at the outdoor restaurant because no one cares about who he is.
He is also very shady, as he coldly leaves the car door open when he walks out which prompts another person in the car to shut the door for him, and also chuckling at the thought of Nedry getting past the InGen security to steal all of the fifteen dinosaur embryos from Isla Nublar. It is implied that Dodgson is an untrustworthy man as well, as Nedry warns him not to get cheap on him like Hammond did. One of the people that he sent to retrieve the embryos from Nedry, Miles Chadwick, even complains about Dodgson possibly killing him due to their past interactions, suggesting that Dodgson is also not above killing people as well if they don't do what he was required for the job.
In the films, however, Dodgson has a significantly smaller role. He meets Dennis Nedry at a Costa Rican restaurant, and they make a conspiracy to steal dinosaur embryos so he can give Dennis seven-hundred and five-thousand dollars for it, giving Nedry an item (disguised as a Barbasol shaving cream can) for help for him to steal the dinosaur embryos.
In the near 30 years since the events of the first film, Lewis Dodgson has become the head of the Biosyn Corporation which are still rivals to InGen. American actor Campbell Scott will portray Lewis Dodgson in the sixth film and the main antagonist.
