10 Famous Actors Who Have Extremely Weird Tics In Every Movie

3. Jeff Goldblum Has Perfected The Stammer

Jeff Goldblum is one of those actors who it's near impossible to not love. His most iconic role, that of the sardonic Dr. Ian Malcolm from Jurassic Park, is regarded as one of the most beloved characters in all of cinema - and that's probably down to the fact that Malcolm embodies so many of Goldblum's trademark tics and mannerisms. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6zEjWK4EUiE So, yes, Goldblum's thing is that he, uh, stammers his way, um, though, ah, his lines, in a way that somehow manages to be, uh, more poetic than, ah-hm, annoying. Though it often takes ol' Jeff twice as long as a normal actor to deliver a line, it's totally worth it to see when, exactly, the legend decides to implement an "um" or an "uh" into his speech.
