Biography:
Jeffrey Lynn Goldblum was born October 22, 1952 in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, one of four children of Shirley (Temeles), a radio broadcaster who also ran an appliances firm, and Harold L. Goldblum, a doctor. His father was of Russian Jewish descent and his mother was of Austrian Jewish ancestry.
Goldblum began his career on the New York stage after moving to the city at age seventeen. Possessing his own unique style of delivery, Goldblum made an impression on moviegoers with little more than a single line in Woody Allen's Annie Hall (1977), when he fretted about having forgotten his mantra. Goldblum went on to appear in the remake A Invasão dos Violadores (1978) and co-starred with Ben Vereen in the detective series Tenspeed and Brown Shoe (1980) before a high-profile turn in the classic en

semble film Os Amigos de Alex (1983).
The quirky actor turned up in the suitably quirky film As Aventuras de Buckaroo Banzai (1984), which became a 1980s cult classic, starred in the modern-day film noir Pela Noite Dentro (1985), then went on to a breakthrough role in the David Cronenberg remake A Mosca (1986), which 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 Absolutamente Loucos (1988).
Goldblum was the rather unlikely star of some of the biggest blockbusters of the 1990s: Steven Spielberg's dinosaur adventure Parque Jurássico (1993) and its sequel O Mundo Perdido: Jurassic Park (1997), as well as the alien invasion film Dia da Independência (1996). These films saw Goldblum playing the type of intellectual characters he has become associated with. More recently, roles have included critically acclaimed turns in A Estranha Vida de Igby (2002) and Wes Anderson's Um Peixe Fora de Água (2004). In 2009, he returned to television to star in his second crime series Lei & Ordem: Intenções Criminosas (2001).

Apesar de ser um grande fã de musicais, ainda não tinha tido o prazer de assistir Wicked, mesmo sabendo do que se tratava, e ter sim uma grande curiosidade em relação à história. O que não é comum no mundo dos musicais; graças ao Andrew Lloyd Webber, que deve ter sido o grande responsável por […]
