Jeff Goldblum

One Of The, uh, Most Powerful Cards in... All of the... the Duel Monsters! Uhm, yeah.

"Must go faster. Must go faster."

An American Actor known for his portrayal of quirky/nerdy characters, as well as his...uh unique form of...uh di-dialogue delivery, which has became one of the most memorable parts of his career, averting the trope that Realistic Diction Is Unrealistic. He also was the subject of an early internet meme the late 1990s, in which a screenshot from The Fly (1986) was given the caption "Jeff Goldblum is watching you poop!". Uh, yeah.

And he actually is alive, despite what Google tells you. too, uhm. Same goes for Stephen Colbert and, uh, Goldblum himself, and yeah. Chaos theory.

Checkmate.

Jeff Goldblum provides examples of the following tropes:

• Adorkable: Yes.
• Blue-Furred Space Hunk: In Earth Girls Are Easy.
• Body Horror: The Fly.
• Cloudcuckoolander: Get him, Christopher Walken, John Malkovich, and Crispin Glover together, you got a party!
• Gibbering Genius: The trope's patron saint. In the interests of space, the trope lists exceptions for Jeff Goldblum rather than examples.
• Nerds Are Sexy: You want him. Don't deny it.
• Running Gag: "Must go faster." He finds a way to shoehorn that line into most of his roles
• Tall, Dark and Handsome At 6'4.5", he's one of the tallest A-List actors in Hollywood, second only to Tim Robbins' 6'5".
