Actor Jeff Goldblum will be in Houston Friday night — not in connection with a new film, but to perform at Jones Hall with his jazz band, The Mildred Snitzer Orchestra.
Goldblum's been playing the piano for years, and the band's been touring and recording albums in between his films.
He’s had a long and varied career. In movies, he first gained notice for one line in the 1977 Woody Allen film Annie Hall.
But Goldblum soon became famous for his performances in The Big Chill, The Fly, Buckaroo Banzai, Jurassic Park, and Independence Day, among many, many others. And he absolutely stole the show in 2017's Thor: Ragnarok.
Throw in a trifecta of Wes Anderson films and other assorted oddball character turns, and, well, Jeff Goldblum undeniably sticks out.
In the audio above, Houston Matters host Craig Cohen asks the actor what he thinks of his wide-ranging collection of roles over the years, about playing in a jazz band, and who exactly Mildred Snitzer is.
