Possessing his own unique style of delivery, Goldblum made an impression on moviegoers with little more than a single line in Woody Allen's "The Annie Hall (1977)" when he fretted about having forgotten his mantra. Goldblum went on to appear in the remake "Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1978)" before a high-profile turn in the classic ensemble film "Big Chill (1983)".
The quirky actor turned up in the suitably quirky film "The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension (1984)", which became a 1980s cult classic, then went on to a breakthrough role in the David Cronenberg remake "The Fly (1986)". "The Fly (1986)" also featured actress Geena Davis, Goldblum's wife from 1987-1990 and co-star in two additional films, "Transylvania 6-5000 (1985)" and Julien Temple's "Earth Girls Are Easy (1988)".
Goldblum was the rather unlikely star of some of the biggest blockbusters of the 1990s: Steven Spielberg 's dinosaur adventure "The Jurassic Park (1993)" and its sequel, "Lost World: Jurassic Park (1997)", as well as the alien invasion flick "Independence Day (1996)". These films saw Goldblum playing the type of intellectual characters he's become associated with.
Recent roles have included critically acclaimed turns in "The Igby Goes Down (2002)" and Wes Anderson's "Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou (2004)". hide |
