BIO

Jeff Goldblum has starred in some of the highest-grossing films, such as Jurassic Park (1993) and Independence Day (1996), as well as their sequels.


Goldblum made his acting film debut in Death Wish (1974) with early roles in California Split (1974), Nashville (1975), and Annie Hall (1977). He gained wider attention for his roles in Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1978), The Big Chill (1983), and The Fly (1986). In 1996 he received an Academy Award for Best Live Action Short Film nomination for Little Surprises.
His career had a resurgence with his roles in the Wes Anderson films The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou (2004), The Grand Budapest Hotel (2014), Isle of Dogs (2018), and Asteroid City (2023). He is also known for his role as Grandmaster in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) films Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 and Thor: Ragnarok (both in 2017) as well as the Disney+ series What If...? (2021).
He has also appeared in several TV series, including Will & Grace, for which he received a Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Guest Actor in a Comedy Series nomination, as well as appeared in Friends, Portlandia, and Inside Amy Schumer. He hosted his own series, The World According to Jeff Goldblum (2019–2022). His jazz band released their first album, The Capitol Studios Sessions, in 2018.
His stage credits include Tupolski in the 2005 original Broadway production of Martin McDonough's The Pillowman, Leonard in the 2011 Broadway production of Theresa Rebeck's Seminar, and Domesticated Off-Broadway at Lincoln Center in 2013.
Goldblum is set to appear as the Wizard in the film adaptation of Wicked, with Part One scheduled for release in November 2024.
