11 Awesome Actors Who Gave Awful Video Game Performances

3. Jeff Goldblum - Goosebumps: Escape From Horrorland

From the future director of Cats and Dogs and Son of the Mask Lawrence Guterman comes this Goosebumps-themed FMV video game, which features Jeff Goldblum as a very, very creepy iteration of Count Dracula, who attempts to seduce young protagonist Lizzie with a hypnotic, sexually-charged dance routine.

Goldblum goes all in, to his credit, donning ridiculous fake fangs and a cheap cloak from a charity costume store while garbling his lines through a mouth of fang-induced saliva, as he tells poor, visibly uncomfortable Lizzie, "You and I are gonna dance."

Again, Goldblum fully commits to the dance sequence itself, seemingly unaware of just how perversely discomforting the entire set-up is. One has to wonder how much money was dumped on Goldblum's lawn for him to appear in this, especially as it was during the peak period of his career, sandwiched between Independence Day and The Lost World: Jurassic Park.

Then again, it really, really seemed like FMV games were going to be the next big thing in the mid-90s, so you can't blame him or his agent too much.
