Quoted from flynnibus:It's simply that the actor had other roles that were bigger or their persona became bigger. It doesn't detract from their prior work.
Everyone knows Wayne Knight as Newman (Seinfield) - but everyone knows the character from JP.. even if they don't know him by name. Plenty of major characters make memorable impacts, even if you don't know them by name.
Good Fellas... who knows Joe Pesci's characters full name? No one cares.. they know the role.
The other characters in the story established a foothold and mindset referred to multiple times, even if they weren't onscreen. Hammond's folly is a recurring theme through all the movies.
JP isn't Star Wars... but it's up there in Spielberg's portfolio and a pop culture reference in many ways.
Ohh man who doesn't know Dennis Nedry and Ian Malcom!! .........Uhh Uhh Uhhh, Uhh Uhh Uhhh. I guess people that aren't movie nerds like me
