Interview: Jeff Goldblum from 'Law and Order: Criminal Intent'
Apparently, there's a lot of strong feelings within the fan communities since you've joined the cast of the show, and lot of them seem to feel that it's kind of lost its edge and become lighter. They're sort of addressing it as the Jeff Goldblum Hour. So here's your chance, if you will, could you - I mean, what would you say to these people?
Jeff Goldblum: Oh, well, gee. First of all, I don't - it's news to me because I kind of don't stay very in touch with all the - I've been consumed with making the show.
I don't know. I mean, everybody has their own opinion. I'm doing the best that I can and I know the writers are trying - there are some very heavy and gruesome episodes that we've done. But it's true. I think part of their idea about my character is that I have a - I love. I'm very passionate for the work, for solving these crimes and for particularly investigating the intent, like the title says of having to do with why these criminal people, these people so far off the rails would have done what they've done and what that means for knowing about the human being generally and for myself.
I think I'm on a very passionate and mysterious and infinitely interesting, at least in my own character, kind of mission. But that along with it, I have a great time, too. Whatever I've been through before. And we've made up a lot of stuff that hasn't come to the surface, that doesn't come to the surface conspicuously or literally. I'm at a place where I find myself very present, feeling very present and alive and enjoying myself no end. I think I enjoy myself. Even in these gruesome circumstances and I guess, even especially when there's been shocking loss and all the physical world has been thrown into chaos. It feels like an opportunity to Zack Nichols to find what's important in life and find the deeper meanings in life in a very enjoyable way. And I like solving the puzzle, too.
You've been involved with a lot of things and not in just making films as an actor, but producing different things or being on the festivals, judging and things like that. What are you doing now that you're working on outside of the show? Anything?
Jeff Goldblum: Well, let's see. This is so consuming that I feel like my plate is kind of full and we're going to keep filming 'til May, mid May. Let's see. What else am I doing besides this? Well, I play my piano all the time. I like to keep up with that. And there are things that I am considering after we finish, but nothing that's really worth talking about at this point.
