Birthday: Oct 22, 1952

Birthplace: Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA

Tall, gangly, and oddly handsome, stage, screen, and television actor Jeff Goldblum is an unlikely sex symbol. But for many women, especially those fond of eccentric intellectual types, he fits the role perfectly. Known for the range of quirky, often otherworldly characters he has portrayed, Goldblum is adept at playing lead and supporting roles in dramas and comedies alike. A native of Pittsburgh, PA, where he was born October 22, 1952, Goldblum moved to New York at the age of 17 to pursue an acting career. He got his start at Sanford Meisner's distinguished Neighborhood Playhouse, and in the '70s began performing in a wide variety of on and off-Broadway productions. When he was 22, Goldblum made his film debut with a small role as a rapist in Michael Winner's brutal revenge drama Death Wish (1974). He was performing on-stage in the El Grande de Coca Cola review when Robert Altman gave him a small part in California Split (1974) and a slightly larger role in Nashville (1975). Afterwards, Goldblum was steadily employed as a bit player in both major and minor features, turning in one of his most notable performances as a nervous houseguest struggling to remember his mantra in the Los Angeles-set segment of Annie Hall (1977). In 1980, Goldblum branched out into television, starring opposite Ben Vereen in the short-lived television detective comedy Tenspeed and Brown Shoe. As Brown Shoe, Goldblum played an uptight stockbroker trying to make it as a hardboiled private detective. Although the role may have given him greater recognition, the actor gained his first really favorable reviews playing a tabloid magazine reporter in The Big Chill (1983). This led to leading roles in such films as Into the Night (1985), where Goldblum played an aerospace engineer opposite Michelle Pfeiffer, and Silverado (also 1985), which cast him as a villainous gambler. In 1986, he had his first hit movie with David Cronenberg's terrifying sci-fi-horror film The Fly (1986), playing a driven scientist whose research turns him into a gruesome mutant. His co-star was his then-wife, Geena Davis, whom he met while they were on the set of the comedy-thriller Transylvania 6-5000 (1985). The couple divorced in the early '90s and Goldblum then embarked on a highly publicized relationship with actress Laura Dern that broke up in the mid-'90s.In 1989, Goldblum made a favorable transatlantic impression in the British romantic comedy The Tall Guy, playing a perpetually unemployed actor who is cast as the lead of a musical about the Elephant Man. He continued to work steadily throughout the subsequent decade, appearing in films of markedly varying quality. He found great success in Steven Spielberg's Jurassic Park, playing a mathematician in one of the decade's biggest blockbusters. In 1996, Goldblum again explored blockbuster territory with a leading role as a computer genius in Independence Day. He reprised his role from Jurassic Park in that film's sequel 1997 sequel, The Lost World: Jurassic Park. He starred opposite Eddie Murphy in the notorious bomb Holy Man.At the beginning of the next decade Goldblum worked primarily in independent films such as Burr Steers' debut Igby Goes Down, and playing the romantic and professional rival to Bill Murray in Wes Anderson's The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou. In 2006 he scored a role in his most mainstream film in quite sometime as part of the impressive ensemble in Barry Levinson's satire Man of the Year. In 2009, Goldblum joined the cast of Law & Order: Criminal Intent in the show's eighth season to play the role of Detective Zach Nichols. 2010 found the actor co-starring with Harrison Ford and Diane Keaton for the showbiz comedy Morning Glory. In 2014, he re-teamed with Anderson in The Grand Budapest Hotel. The following year, he appeared opposite Johnny Depp in Mortdecai and began filming his role in the long-awaited Indepdendence Day sequel, due in 2016.

Ian Malcolm	Just follow the screams.

Ian Malcolm

Oh, yeah. Oooh, ahhh, that's how it always starts. Then later there's running and screaming.

Ian Malcolm

It's fine if you wanna put your name on something but STOP putting it on other people's headstones.

Ian Malcolm

If I may... Um, I'll tell you the problem with the scientific power that you're using here, it didn't require any discipline to attain it. You read what others had done and you took the next step. You didn't earn the knowledge for yourselves, so you don't take any responsibility for it. You stood on the shoulders of geniuses to accomplish something as fast as you could, and before you even knew what you had, you patented it, and packaged it, and slapped it on a plastic lunchbox, and now [bangs on the table]

Ian Malcolm

Don't you see the danger, John, inherent in what you're doing here? Genetic power is the most awesome force the planet's ever seen, but you wield it like a kid that's found his dad's gun.

Ian Malcolm

[as they pass through the gigantic park gates] What have they got in there, King Kong?

Ian Malcolm

[seeing the dinosaurs for the first time] You did it. You crazy son of a bitch, you did it.

Ian Malcolm	how do you know they're all female? Does somebody go out into the park and pull up the dinosaurs' skirts?
Ian Malcolm	But again, how do you know they're all female? Does somebody go out into the park and pull up the dinosaurs' skirts?

Ian Malcolm	god creates dinosaurs god destroys dinosaurs, god creates man man destroys god, man creates dinosaurs.
Ian Malcolm	God creates dinosaurs. God destroys ... Man creates dinosaurs..
Dr. Ellie Sattler	Dinosaurs eat man......woman inherits the earth.
Dr. Ellie Sattler	Dinosaurs...eat man. Woman inherits the Earth.

Ian Malcolm

That is one big pile of shit.

Avnet

This isn't your lucky day, barber. Your life is leaving you and I'm killing you.

Ian Malcolm

How do you know they're all female? Does somebody walk into the enclosure and look under the dinosaur's skirt?

Ian Malcolm

You did it. You crazy son of a bitch you did it.

Ian Malcolm	I'm always on the lookout for the future ex-Mrs. Malcolm
Ian Malcolm	I'm always on the lookout for the future ex-Mrs. Malcolm.

Ian Malcolm

I hate being right all the time.

John Hammond	I don't think you're giving us our due credit. Our scientists have done things which nobody's ever done before...
Ian Malcolm	Yeah, yeah, but your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, that they didn't stop to think if they should.

Alan Grant	(T Rex breaks out of enclosure) were do he think hes going ( Donald Gennaro runs to into the restroom)
Alan Grant	[T Rex breaks out of enclosure] Where do he think hes going? [Donald Gennaro runs to into the restroom]
Ian Malcolm	if you gotta go you gotta go
Ian Malcolm	If you gotta go you gotta go.

Ian Malcolm	who do they have in here king kong
Ian Malcolm	[as they pass through the gigantic park gates] What have they got in there, King Kong?

Ian Malcolm

But John, if the Pirates of the Caribbean breaks down the pirates don't eat the tourists.

Ian Malcolm	Ah, now eventually you do plan to have dinosaurs on your, on your dinosaur tour, right? Hello?
John Hammond	I really hate that man.

Seth Brundle

I want to be the first insect politician.

David Levinson

What I'm trying to say is--if you stay I'll hurt you.

David Levinson

Time's up...

Seth Brundle

You're a fucking drag, y'know that?

Ian Malcolm

Yeah, yeah, but your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, that they didn't stop to think whether they should.

Ian Malcolm	Mommy is very angry
Ian Malcolm	Mommy is very angry.

Veronica Quaife	What does the disease want?
Seth Brundle	It wants to turn me into something else. I think I'm becoming...Brundlefly. Don't you think that's worth a Nobel Prize or two?

Nick Deezy	'Your major life decision is probably 'How high should I comb my hair today?"
Nick Deezy	Your major life decision is probably, 'How high should I comb my hair today?'

Sarah Harding	How do we find the adult?
Ian Malcolm	Just follow the screams.

Ian Malcolm	God creates dinosaurs. God destroys dinosaurs. God creates man. Man destroys God. Man creates dinosaurs...
Dr. Ellie Sattler	Dinosaurs eat man. Woman inherits the earth...

John Hammond	All major theme parks have had delays. When they opened Disneyland in 1956, nothing worked!
Ian Malcolm	Yeah John, but if the Pirates of the Caribbean breaks down, the pirates don't eat the tourists.

David Levinson	They are pulling us in. I was counting on this.
Capt. Steven Hiller	When the hell was you plannin' on tellin' me?
David Levinson	Oops.
Capt. Steven Hiller	We're gonna have to work on our communication.

Seth Brundle

Human teleportation, molecular decimation, breakdown, reformation, is inherently purging. It makes a man a king.

Stewart

Perception of legitimacy is more important than legitimacy itself.

Ian Malcolm

Go... as fast as you can. Go!

Eddie Carr	What's hurt? What do you need?
Ian Malcolm	We need rope!
Eddie Carr	Rope, okay! Anything else?
Ian Malcolm	Yeah, three double cheeseburgers with everything.
Nick Van Owen	No onions on mine.
Sarah Harding	And an apple turnover!

Ian Malcolm	(Prepares to slide down the rope) I'm coming right back, I give you my word.
Ian Malcolm	[prepares to slide down the rope] I'm coming right back, I give you my word.
Kelly Curtis	But you NEVER keep your word!
Ian Malcolm	... (slides down the rope)
Ian Malcolm	[slides down the rope]

David Levinson	(Looks at the clock on his computer) Time's up...
David Levinson	[looks at the clock on his computer] Time's up...

David Levinson	You're obsessed with "fat lady".
David Levinson	You're obsessed with 'fat lady'.

Ian Malcolm

And now I'm sitting here, by myself, talking to myself. That's chaos theory.

Professor Brody

Bad talking cat!

Peter Ludlow	It is our board of directors which I must face, not my uncle. Really, you must trust me, your problems are about to be rendered moot. In an few weeks' time, they'll be long forgotten.
Ian Malcolm	(grabs Ludlow) Not by me.
Peter Ludlow	Careful. This suit cost more than your education.

Roland Tembo	The Rex was just fed, so it won't stalk us for food.
Ian Malcolm	Just fed? I assume you're talking about Eddie? You might want to show a little respect, the man saved our lives by giving his.
Roland Tembo	Then his troubles are over. My point is, the predators don't hunt when they're not hungry.
Nick Van Owen	No, only humans do.
Roland Tembo	Oh, you're breaking our hearts. Saddle up! Let's get this moveable feast on the way!

Ian Malcolm

Yeah, oooh, aaah, that's how it always starts. Then later there's running, and screaming.

Alan Grant	We're out of the job.
Ian Malcolm	Don't you mean extinct?

Ian Malcolm

Mama's very angry.

Ian Malcolm	God creates dinosaurs, God destroys dinosaurs, God creates Man, Man kills God, Man brings back dinosaurs.
Dr. Ellie Sattler	[sarcastic] Dinosaurs eat Man, Woman inherits the Earth.

Ian Malcolm

God, I hate being right all the time.

Ian Malcolm

[to Ludlow] Taking dinosaurs off this island is the worst idea in the long sad history of bad ideas, and I'm gonna be there when you learn that.

Ian Malcolm

If there's one thing the history of evolution has taught us, it's that life will not be contained. Life breaks free, it expands to new territories, and crashes through barriers painfully, maybe even dangerously, but, uh, well, there it is.

David Levinson	We're hit! We took a hit!
Capt. Steven Hiller	We're not hit! We're not hit! Stop side-seat driving!

John Hammond	Haha! See? 8'm not making the same mistakes again!
John Hammond	Haha! See? I'm not making the same mistakes again!
Ian Malcolm	Noooo, no, you're making all new ones!!
Ian Malcolm	Noooo, no, you're making all new ones!

Ian Malcolm	[trying to get the satellite phone to work] Eddie, Eddie, why isn't this working!?
Eddie Carr	It'll work if you love it!
Ian Malcolm	I'll love it if it works!

Ian Malcolm	Eddie, is there any reason to think that the phone in the RV might be working? Don't tease me now, I don't want to get my hopes up.
Eddie Carr	Well, if you were even slightly qualified you might try flipping the on switch.
Kelly Curtis	[Going in the trailer with Malcolm] Dad, are you mad?
Kelly Curtis	[going in the trailer with Malcolm] Dad, are you mad?
Ian Malcolm	No, I'm Furious!!!
Ian Malcolm	No, I'm Furious!

Kelly Curtis	She doesn't even have a Sega! She's such a troglodyte!
Ian Malcolm	Cruel, but good word use.

John Hammond	Condors are on the verge of extinction! If I were to create a flock of condors on this island, you wouldn't have anything to say!
Ian Malcolm	This isn't some species that was obliterated by deforestation or the building of a dam. Dinosaurs had their shot and Nature selected them for extinction!

John Hammond	How can we sit in the light of discovery and not act?
Ian Malcolm	Oh what's so great about discovery? It's a violent, penetrative act that scars what it explores. What you call discovery, I call the rape of the natural world.

Ian Malcolm	Youv'e got it and you slap it on a plastic lunch box, and you want to sell it(bangs on table) you want to sell it now.
Ian Malcolm	You've got it, and you slap it on a plastic lunch box, and you want to sell it, [bangs on table] you want to sell it now.

Seth Brundle

(to Veronica) - You're afraid to dive into the plasma pool, aren't you? You're afraid to be destroyed and recreated, aren't you? I'll bet you think that you woke me up about the flesh, don't you? But you only know society's straight line about the flesh. You can't penetrate beyond society's sick, gray, fear of the flesh. Drink deep, or taste not, the plasma spring! You see what I'm saying? And I'm not just talking about sex and penetration. I'm talking about penetration beyond the veil of the flesh! A deep penetrating dive into the plasma pool!

Veronica Quaife	Five sets of exactly the same clothes?
Seth Brundle	Learned it from Einstein. This way I don't have to expend any thought on what to wear. I grab the next set on the rack.

Seth Brundle

(to Veronica) - Don't go back to it.
