Jim Carrey as Dr Malcolm


Jim Carrey was very nearly chosen to play Dr Malcolm after a screen test.

I personally think Jeff Goldblum was perfectly cast to play malcolm but I'm just interested to know what others would think if he would have got the role.

I know speilberg was keen to cast less famous actors, maybe carey was just to well known then, or maybe would have been to comical to play the role?

I don't think Jim Carrey would have suited the role of Malcolm quite as good as Goldblum does... someone who would have made a good Ian Malcolm would have been Daniel Day Lewis.
