Jeff Goldblum's layered Asteroid City role not only promotes a deep contemplation of the human condition but is a clever reversal of a mega-hit movie the actor starred in before. Goldblum has previously been the harbinger of profound meaning in a number of roles across his varied and extensive acting catalog. Whether he's warning humanity about the consequences of their creations, like Jurassic Park's Ian Malcolm, or obsessing over the limitations of the human body, like The Fly's Seth Brundle, Malcolm has continually performed in roles characterized by some degree of profundity.
