Jeff Goldblum

One of my five favorite movie actors of all time. Despite many big roles it was his performance in Into the Night that really first struck me about the depth of his skills. He and another of my favorites John Cusack are similar actors part of two generations. They both can carry a movie in an independent film, but also can be a star in a blockbuster Hollywood production.



His major roles have included Silverado, Jurassic Park, and Independence Day. A prolific actor he has performed in over 75 films and is only 56 years old. Besides film Goldblum is active in the theater and TV as well presenting a complete example of a true thespian. Goldblum has performed on Broadway as well as London. His television experience has been as a guest star and a lead. As a lead in a few programs such as Tenspeed and Brown Shoe where he played the role of Lionel "Brownshoe" Whitney which lasted 14 episodes in 1980. Short lived but very interesting Raines where he played the titled character which last seven episodes.



Recently Goldblum has returned to the small screen in a very successful role as Detective Zach Nichols in Law and Order: Criminal Intent. Nichols is the son of two psychiatrist/psychological clinicians who obviously have had a great deal of influence on the characters life. Nichols former partner was Captain Ross play by Eric Bogosian. Goldblum adds a lot to Criminal Intent and pairs with Julianne Nicholson who plays his partner Detective Megan Wheeler. The two have hit their stride as partners and are really doing a great job on current episodes.



A wonderful actor with immense range that brings a lot to every role. Goldblum adds a tremendous amount to any production and raises the level of quality in just being involved. Thanks for reading...

Jeff Goldblum is a true actor and one of the coolest actors in Hollywood because he never sells himself out to get a role. You really believe that he got into acting because he loves it for what it is. You'll never see him in any tabloids and you won't hear any gossip about him. In his roles, you sense more realism than many other actor's who are considered more talented than he. Of all of his roles in all of his movies, my favorite has to be "Jurassic Park."

Jeff Goldblum is in two of my all time favourites being Jurasic Park and Independence Day. In both of these he plays a fairly neardy character just in Jurassic Park he has a braver personality. I think that he can do anything that he puts his mind to and its a shame that he isn't used in more recent popular films.
