I can’t even imagine Jurassic Park without Ian Malcolm (though I may be biased because it is my favorite movie of all time).
Or, it was almost never said by Jeff Goldblum, whose role of chaos man Dr. Ian Malcolm, the mathematician who basically predicts that the perfect, closed system of Jurassic Park is in no way sustainable, was almost cut from the script.
I [read] that Michael Crichton book — Ian Malcolm, wow!
“Life, uh, finds a way” is one of the most quoted, most recognizable lines in film — and it was almost never said at all.
