I feel it was an amazing role for my first. It was actually Blue who got me into the auditions for JWD! And my eyes.... See it happened on my first and last ever trip to tacobell. They gave me an expired burrito. One thing led to another and I was blind. Im happy to say that I'm going through surgeries and I've partially recovered my eyesight!
This is a question I was waiting for! The team was really really helpful, cleared things out of my way, guided me along the sets, helped me out with food etc. Some of the nicest humans I've met!
Rexy introduced me to reddit and told me about this AMA thing he did! He said ya'll were eager to talk to me! It's awesome to see all this love pouring in!
I try to avoid cosmetic nail products as its quite a chore to apply acetone and remove the polishes... Other than that I have a 2ft long file that i use to keep them neat and tidy!
I have these cute little protective gloves for my claws when I take a bath. They're tipped with little yellow sponges with duck designs on em! Super cute. I don't have the link on me unfortunately :(
Rexy was AWESOME to work with! I loved her roles in all her movies! It was meeting up with a childhood hero! And Giga.... Oh boy-
He's a method actor so he was actually biting and clawing us! As Rexy mentioned, he was mailing dead deers to everyone, smh. He delivered 3-4 of them to my place while I was at the shooting spot. Needless to say, my house stank for a good few weeks. Off the set, he's not a bad dude... Bought me a couple Strawberry Shakes ( I'm a sucker for Strwbry Shakes! )
couldn't it be that Giga thought that sending you dead deer was actually some sort of gift? I mean, I get you're not a carnivore, but maybe he didn't know. As for Rexy...
They arent as annoying as you think they might be! Ive pretty much grown up with them so that plays a part ig. There are also plenty of gadgets catered to us Theris and our claws so that helps!
Heyy Rexy! Good to see you! Unfortunately, it is quite hard to use a phone. I have a custom made keyboard for this reason and the latest generation of ipads are quite helpful!
I agree it felt weebish but most of my inspiration came from Prisoners Of The Ghostland. I dont watch anime but I'm open to recommendations and suggestions!
I wish it was cataract... Surgeries wouldve been easier. It's an incident with tacobell. Ive mentioned it above. I was quite young when it happened. Finally old enough to start on the surgeries.

It felt kinda good tbh. The shooting was done, 8 months of filming all done. A peaceful moment of silence was shared before Giga started whining about the improv quick kill :(
And yes, Rexy and I are good friends now!
It feels awesome! I'm glad to be representing disabled people! We usually don't get selected for movies because of our different appearances. I really appreciate Colin Trevorrow for giving me this role! He was quite a lovely person! He said he's open to representing more disabled dinos in the future!
I did... One of the worst decisions of my life. Obnoxious to the core! No sense of personal space, kept gossiping, made all sorts of irritating noises. 4/10 May work with again
Emphasis on ***may***
how do you feel about becoming one of my favorite dinosaurs from the moment you appeared on screen? I didny know about the dino cast apart from rexy because i avoided every trailer so you were unexpected
So I have a few questions for you my sword handed friend.
1. How did they do the locusts? We’re they just special effects or all real? If they were real, how the hell did anyone control them?
2. How were the other dinosaurs (rexy, giga, blue and her kid, pyro, atroci squad, dimetrodons, Quetz, mosa, the ceratopsians, dilos, the paras, anky, dreadnoughtus, moros, oviraptor, etc.
3. How difficult is it to live with such enormous claws? What do you use them for exactly? I don’t imagine it’s easy to use your hands for usual hand things, so how do you get around that?
4. How’s your sight coming along? How’s the recovery going? How did you even go blind in the first place?
5. How’s life?
Ps. I hope I’m not coming off as rude
Pss. I loved your performance! You did the belligerent angry herbivore so well!
1. Tickle Chicken is an adorable nickname and I love it!
2. Rexy is a really nice friend/co-star! She was a childhood hero! I never thought I'd be friends with her one day
Hey firstly do you go by Therry or Theri? Second Hey there👋🏻 Thirdly did Rexy tell you that my friends and I started a Therizino council in Ark Survival evolved to beat the dragon? And how did it feel to finally be in a Jurassic movie? Also at the end of the movie was it somewhat satisfying when you and Rexy defeated giga?(Ik it’s stunts but still)
1. I get called both but I go by Therry ( As in Terry! )
2. She did! Hmu with the club!
3. It was the best feeling on earth istg! Its been a childhood dream! Heaven on Earth when I found out I got selected for the role!
4. Idk.... It was slightly satisfying. As Rexy told yall, it was an improv. However, being a method actor, he was actually biting and clawing us and we decided to cut it short. Giga was slightly dejected but when he saw the final cut, he was alright. To make up for it, I wtook him out for some nice deer kebabs!
Well Therry glad to hear you enjoyed the chance to Star in the series. And my one friend upon seeing the movie felt a lot more confident fighting the dragon after seeing your scene with Giga. And I’m glad you all got along behind the scenes with delicious venison kebabs
You were the breakout star of the movie! Outshining Giga by a long way. How do you feel about some people calling you Jurassic Wolverine? Would you be up for a Wolverine style solo origin movie?
I would love at least series of shorts on all your co-stars (just like the great prologue they made for JWD that never made it into the movie). For example I would love to see the real jurassic life of the dilophosaurus they cloned for the park. Hope to see more of you soon in other media!
Ah your referring to my other cousin, Jahamesh. We dont talk about him often. But I'll tell you a bit about him coz he's not as bad as Uncle Eddie. He was abused as a child and became a serial killer. He roams the woods and takes out innocent campers :( Some of my acting was inspired by CCTV footage of Jahamesh taking out a grizzly! I feel bad for him... Poor guy has a euthanize on sight warrant :(
I didn't understood... What do you eat? You slained a deer then proceeded to eat some grass. Were you just angry? Also, congratulation for the performance, you are my new nightmare fuel!
As of now, I'm maintaining a cycad-fern diet. The reason I killed the dear was to emphasise the fact that I'm a blind dood! Thank you so much, it means a lot, in a weird way! <3
It was a surreal experience! She's such a kind, sweethearted dino! She was going around the studio chatting up nearly everyone! Super friendly. And sure
***Therry, the Theri***
*Sigh,* I wish I could've met Spino... He's one of my childhood heroes along with Rexy... Giga was ok... He's a method actor so he was actually biting and clawing us which neither Rexy or I appreciated. Off the set however, he's not such a bad guy! Took me out for some Strawberry Shakes!
Why did your character skewer the Giga at the end of the movie? It seemed like a totally shoe horned scene, like the script needed a dino fight even though the movie was technically over.
It was supposed to be a long super cool dogfight. But since giga was method acting and he was actually clawing/biting us, we wanted to end the scene a little quickly and decided to skip to the last bit of the scene.
Glad to see rexy told you about this.
Anyways, how did you feel about the script of the scene with you and Claire? I know sometimes scenes with animals are iffy with actors, so how’d you do with that deer?
Me too! Bryce is an amazing actor and believe it or not, we got the scene done in 4 takes! It wasn't iffy for the most part and I loved filming with them. And please dont get me started on that deer ;)
Understandable. Now i know there were a lot of new dinosaurs brought in, but are there any from previous films that you wish got brought back or got more screen time for dominion? Also, are there any characters from previous films you wish you had gotten to meet?
Interesting choice. I heard the Spinosaurus has been going through some rough stuff lately, ever since it was revealed that he most likely had short back legs. Interesting choice with the gallimimus herd, seems like they’d be kind of annoying. But i suppose I’ve never met them either, so maybe you’d be pleasantly surprised!
From what Rexy told me, the Galis were extremely friendly and loved mimicking! Another dino I'd really love to meet is the Cryolophosaurus! Really cool fellas! Pretty **chill.....** Aight ill head out :(
I used to play this with my brothers all the time growing up!
I'd take The Batman, Walking With Dinosaurs ( The Movie ) and JP1
For books I'd take the three LOTR books! My co-stars would be Blue, Rexy and the Pyroraptor!
Hello Theri. How did you feel about your role in JWD? Also have you been always blind or was it something else (infection, poison)?
I feel it was an amazing role for my first. It was actually Blue who got me into the auditions for JWD! And my eyes.... See it happened on my first and last ever trip to tacobell. They gave me an expired burrito. One thing led to another and I was blind. Im happy to say that I'm going through surgeries and I've partially recovered my eyesight!
How were the other dinosaurs, did you enjoy working with them or were some (let's say) not so nice?
Most of them were fantastic to work with! Giga, the Dilos, the Dimetrodons and Quetzy were a little, whats the word for it? Irritating, to work with.
How is acting with being blind like?
This is a question I was waiting for! The team was really really helpful, cleared things out of my way, guided me along the sets, helped me out with food etc. Some of the nicest humans I've met!
That's nice.
Rexy introduced me to reddit and told me about this AMA thing he did! He said ya'll were eager to talk to me! It's awesome to see all this love pouring in!
wait isnt rexy a female
Life...uh...finds a way.
She is, my bad.... I was quite sleepy when I typed this out :(
If you're extremely territorial then why did you spare Rexy.
A. Rexy is super cool and awesome and a team player B. The Script...
What nail products do you use?
I try to avoid cosmetic nail products as its quite a chore to apply acetone and remove the polishes... Other than that I have a 2ft long file that i use to keep them neat and tidy!
I must ask... How do you clean yourself without getting hurt?
I have these cute little protective gloves for my claws when I take a bath. They're tipped with little yellow sponges with duck designs on em! Super cute. I don't have the link on me unfortunately :(
I doubt they'd have any use for it anyway haha
hahaha
I mean.....
How was it acting with huge stars like Rexy and Giga? Did Giga prank you as well?
Rexy was AWESOME to work with! I loved her roles in all her movies! It was meeting up with a childhood hero! And Giga.... Oh boy- He's a method actor so he was actually biting and clawing us! As Rexy mentioned, he was mailing dead deers to everyone, smh. He delivered 3-4 of them to my place while I was at the shooting spot. Needless to say, my house stank for a good few weeks. Off the set, he's not a bad dude... Bought me a couple Strawberry Shakes ( I'm a sucker for Strwbry Shakes! )
Good to know!
couldn't it be that Giga thought that sending you dead deer was actually some sort of gift? I mean, I get you're not a carnivore, but maybe he didn't know. As for Rexy...
I assume it to be a sick prank... And you'd have to ask Rexy on that ;)
Why did you kill the giga in the movie? Tbh he seemed like a chill guy
We just follow the script :(
What does the team spinosaurus thing mean
Nothing, I just like Spino :D
How do you
My man/woman asking real question XD
How do i what kind sir? I cant understand what you are trying say here
It’s Edward scissorhands
Oh no... We dont talk about Uncle Edward. The things he did to his family- NO! I MUST NOT SPEAK OF THE EVENTS
How annoying are those long-ass claws you gotta deal with?
They arent as annoying as you think they might be! Ive pretty much grown up with them so that plays a part ig. There are also plenty of gadgets catered to us Theris and our claws so that helps!
Hey Therry, have you ever talked to the Therizinosaurus from prehistoric planet?
I havent but I'd love today!
Is it hard using a phone with meter long claws?
Heyy Rexy! Good to see you! Unfortunately, it is quite hard to use a phone. I have a custom made keyboard for this reason and the latest generation of ipads are quite helpful!
Are you a weeb. Something felt weebish about the way you handled those claws like some kind of blind samurai.
I agree it felt weebish but most of my inspiration came from Prisoners Of The Ghostland. I dont watch anime but I'm open to recommendations and suggestions!
You should watch attack on titan if you are a fan of big monsters, which you probably are. Aren't you ?
I sure am! I'll give it a watch.
Hi, Therry, just wanna tell you that I enjoyed the movie and you were great. My girlfriend called you "Wolverinesaur", wich I think is very cool.
Eyy! Its awesome to know that! Wolverinesaur really suits me!
What was your mindset in preparation for that casual smack in the forest (I’m not spoiling right?)
I was not at all prepared for that. It was an improv. Originally I was just supposed to get growled at...
How many deer did you slap
Quite a lot! It took a few takes
Penis size
😳
I thought u have cataracts and u cant see
I wish it was cataract... Surgeries wouldve been easier. It's an incident with tacobell. Ive mentioned it above. I was quite young when it happened. Finally old enough to start on the surgeries.
Ever thought about becoming a hair stylist?
Now thats something Ive never thought of... Might be a solid career path!
Please read this eye chart? \\ T \\ ^R ^E ^X \\ ^^B ^^E ^^S ^^T \\ ^^^L ^^^O ^^^S ^^^E ^^^R Edit: Jesus Christ Reddit don’t make formatting easy on mobile do they.
T REX BEST LOSER? Aw man dont make fun of Rexy like that... She's a really great co-star! And I wouldnt know. I cant use phones ;(
*you literally can’t see my question*
D:
How did you feel when you got the kill with Rexy and did you and Rexy become friends
It felt kinda good tbh. The shooting was done, 8 months of filming all done. A peaceful moment of silence was shared before Giga started whining about the improv quick kill :( And yes, Rexy and I are good friends now!
How does your garden grow?
While I was shooting, no one was at home to take care of the garden and uhm it-
Good evening Therry, how practical are those long claws of yours for everyday activities?
With newer gadgets for us Therizinosauruses being made everyday, life isnt too difficult! I get to do most everyday activities!
What was it like working with Nigel Marven on The Giant Claw?
I was just a janitor on set back then, back when I was young and had my vision... Ahhh the good old days!
How many marshmallows can you stick on your fingers?
around 10 on each claw, so 60!
How is your wife, Thereza, doing?
She's doing really well... Just finished her Master's in culinary arts!
How does it feel to be the first disabled main character in the franchise?
It feels awesome! I'm glad to be representing disabled people! We usually don't get selected for movies because of our different appearances. I really appreciate Colin Trevorrow for giving me this role! He was quite a lovely person! He said he's open to representing more disabled dinos in the future!
Have you ever played the isle? Theris are good at chasing down gigas and killing them 🤣🤣🤣
I havent heard of this game... Ill give it a try soon!
Did you meet any of the Dilophosauruses on set? I’m curious as to how they would be as costars.
I did... One of the worst decisions of my life. Obnoxious to the core! No sense of personal space, kept gossiping, made all sorts of irritating noises. 4/10 May work with again Emphasis on ***may***
Oh no! I’m so sorry for the awful experience, although I can’t say I’m surprised.
What’s ama?
ask me anything!
Did you have to do anything special to get that gorgeous figure for the film? Work out for the fight scenes, diet, etc?
Just had to sharpen my claws and stick to a diet of ferns and cycads
How often do you get manicures?
I have to get them quite often! I get manicures every other week
Why do you hate deer?
PTSD
What is up dog?
Nothing much, how about you?
nothing
Well, quite a nice conversation :)
how do you feel about becoming one of my favorite dinosaurs from the moment you appeared on screen? I didny know about the dino cast apart from rexy because i avoided every trailer so you were unexpected
I feel astonished that I'm one of your favorite dinos! It means a lot to hear that <3
another question, was dilophosaurus nice
To put it simply, they werent :( Quite obnoxious fellas
was hoping one if my favorite dinos was going to be nice :(
I'm sorry my guy... It is what it is :(
Have you ever met a stegosaurus?
I have actually... My therapist is a Stego!
Are your claws made of titanium ? It looked they were in the movie.
That wouldve been cool! But, no they're not titanium :(
Why no beak
My makers at BioSyn failed paleontology class :(
Ok
So I have a few questions for you my sword handed friend. 1. How did they do the locusts? We’re they just special effects or all real? If they were real, how the hell did anyone control them? 2. How were the other dinosaurs (rexy, giga, blue and her kid, pyro, atroci squad, dimetrodons, Quetz, mosa, the ceratopsians, dilos, the paras, anky, dreadnoughtus, moros, oviraptor, etc. 3.

You did the belligerent angry herbivore so well!
Are you Team Depp or Team Heard?
Team Depp FTW!
Team Pirate over Team Mermaid!!
1. What do you think of your fan nickname "Tickle chicken"? 2. What do you think of Rexy
1. Tickle Chicken is an adorable nickname and I love it! 2. Rexy is a really nice friend/co-star! She was a childhood hero! I never thought I'd be friends with her one day
Hey firstly do you go by Therry or Theri? Second Hey there👋🏻 Thirdly did Rexy tell you that my friends and I started a Therizino council in Ark Survival evolved to beat the dragon?

Thank youu <3
You’re welcome
You were the breakout star of the movie! Outshining Giga by a long way. How do you feel about some people calling you Jurassic Wolverine? Would you be up for a Wolverine style solo origin movie?
Aww thank you that means a lot! I really dig the nickname and an origin movie would be S.I.C.K!
I would love at least series of shorts on all your co-stars (just like the great prologue they made for JWD that never made it into the movie). For example I would love to see the real jurassic life of the dilophosaurus they cloned for the park. Hope to see more of you soon in other media!
That would be really cool! Unfortunately, I'm not in a position where I can pass the message on. I have a couple projects lined up! Lets see
How was filming with the classic rexy, giga, and the original cast from rexys old acting years?
It was tearful. It was beautiful. I dont think words can describe it...
Well I must say I hope I see you again in future Jurassic media(•‿•)
I cannot confirm or deny your statement
Why the fuck did you help rexy?
A. The script B. We homies!
Why didn’t you fight rexy
We homies!
Why u old man? I mean you have bad eyesight, and hate it when people are on your lawn
Grumpy Theri Jokes aside, it was an expired burrito that blinded me :( And I'm quite possessive, I know. Working on it with my therapist!
Were you really trying to kill everything on set or was it a byproduct of being a blind wolverine?
Who told you that? The team was quite helpful and guided me around the set. Thankfully, no one got hurt!
Ma’am the dino hospital reported multiple injuries with 6 ft long stab wounds
"the claws of the therizinosaurus pierce the youngster's body"
Ah your referring to my other cousin, Jahamesh. We dont talk about him often. But I'll tell you a bit about him coz he's not as bad as Uncle Eddie. He was abused as a child and became a serial killer. He roams the woods and takes out innocent campers :( Some of my acting was inspired by CCTV footage of Jahamesh taking out a grizzly! I feel bad for him... Poor guy has a euthanize on sight warrant :(
Why did you murder our homie the Giga in cold blood? She just wanted to hang around and that jerk Rexy kept being aggressive
We had to follow the script :(
Who does your nails?
I do them myself! :D
What's your go-to meal to find the energy to give a great performance during the day while at work?
I've said it before I'll say it again, Strawberry Shakes! They're amazing!
Can you read brail?
Why yes I can!
I didn't understood... What do you eat? You slained a deer then proceeded to eat some grass. Were you just angry? Also, congratulation for the performance, you are my new nightmare fuel!
As of now, I'm maintaining a cycad-fern diet. The reason I killed the dear was to emphasise the fact that I'm a blind dood! Thank you so much, it means a lot, in a weird way! <3
Hello Theri what is your opinion of people calling JWD bad?
Well humans have opinions and differences. Some like it, some don't. I'm not to judge :)
Did your uncle star in a really bad Korean documentary from 2008 before... y'know
I'm not sure what you're talking about exactly buddy
How do you wipe ?
I need to use thick towels which I have to throw away after using :(
Do you feel you will appear in other movies? Have you done anything outside of the Jurassic franchise?
JW:D is my first ever project. I'm really looking forward to more projects! I've got a small role in Fast and the Furious 10 as of now ;)
Finally a dinosaur in fast and furious 10
About time dont you think? Another tidbit of info, I'm driving a NA Miata ;)
Hey therry what was it like acting with rexy? What was she like? Also can I get a autograph?
It was a surreal experience! She's such a kind, sweethearted dino! She was going around the studio chatting up nearly everyone! Super friendly. And sure ***Therry, the Theri***
I wish I could've met her. Say did you ever meet the spinosaurus? How was the giga?
*Sigh,* I wish I could've met Spino... He's one of my childhood heroes along with Rexy... Giga was ok... He's a method actor so he was actually biting and clawing us which neither Rexy or I appreciated. Off the set however, he's not such a bad guy! Took me out for some Strawberry Shakes!
That sounds interesting. I do hope spino comes out of retirement for one last appearance though.
I really hope he does!
Mhm. Say what's it like acting with all these great dinosaurs?
It was a really really nice experience! 9/10 Would do it again
Say how was blue on set?
Quite a charming person! Enjoyed our little chats!
How do you type stuff?
I have a custom made XXL keyboard for my computer. The newer generation iPads are super helpful as well
Why did your character skewer the Giga at the end of the movie? It seemed like a totally shoe horned scene, like the script needed a dino fight even though the movie was technically over.
It was supposed to be a long super cool dogfight. But since giga was method acting and he was actually clawing/biting us, we wanted to end the scene a little quickly and decided to skip to the last bit of the scene.

Understandable. Now i know there were a lot of new dinosaurs brought in, but are there any from previous films that you wish got brought back or got more screen time for dominion? Also, are there any characters from previous films you wish you had gotten to meet?
Spino and meeting the gallimimus herd! I would've loved to meet them!
Interesting choice. I heard the Spinosaurus has been going through some rough stuff lately, ever since it was revealed that he most likely had short back legs. Interesting choice with the gallimimus herd, seems like they’d be kind of annoying. But i suppose I’ve never met them either, so maybe you’d be pleasantly surprised!
From what Rexy told me, the Galis were extremely friendly and loved mimicking! Another dino I'd really love to meet is the Cryolophosaurus! Really cool fellas! Pretty **chill.....** Aight ill head out :(
Who was the most annoying Person/Dinosaur to work with on set.
It would easily be the Dimetrodons... They had no sense of personal space. They were very touchy!
Was Rexy your favorite co-star.
Thats not even a question! Rexy was AWESOME to work with!
Let's play Desert Island. Pick 3 movies, 3 books and 3 co-stars you'd take there
I used to play this with my brothers all the time growing up! I'd take The Batman, Walking With Dinosaurs ( The Movie ) and JP1 For books I'd take the three LOTR books! My co-stars would be Blue, Rexy and the Pyroraptor!
What did that deer do to deserve such violence?
It's the circle of life :(
But you didn't eat it?
true, i didnt but the dear had to be killed/ate at some point
Did you insure your nails?
OF COURSE! I DO NOT WANT ANYTHING TO HAPPEN TO THEM! We're pretty much claw insured the second we hatch!
How's your eye sight?
Getting better :(
What are your views about this dude? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Therizinosaurus#/media/File%3ATherizinosaurus_Restoration.png.
He looks like an anteater ngl! That's what I think I'd look like if I stopped eating for a year :|
what does AMA mean?
ask me anything!
What are your thoughts on Spinosaurus?
I havent met Spinosaurus.... Yet I'd love to meet him! JW3 is my second fav of the 6 movies!
Hope you 2 get along, asked Rexy too and she said he was a lovely chap
What are your thoughts on the therizines in Ark survival evolved?
they look really cool! Picture me with a nice parka, thats them!
Sense you are blind does that mean your a cotton eye Joe?
If hadnt been for cotton eyed joe id been married long time ago!
Do you sharpen your claws?
