Jeffrey Lynn Goldblum, born October 22, 1952, in West Homestead, Pennsylvania, is a distinguished American actor and musician known for his eccentric charm and "geek-chic" intellectual screen presence. After moving to New York City at age 17 to study under the legendary Sanford Meisner at the Neighborhood Playhouse, he made his Broadway debut in Two Gentlemen of Verona and his film debut as a thug in Death Wish (1974). Goldblum’s career reached a turning point with his starring role in The Fly (1986), which earned him a Saturn Award for Best Actor, before he achieved global superstardom in blockbusters like Jurassic Park (1993) and Independence Day (1996).
