The Goldblum joins cast of Criminal Intent.

Or should we say that Criminal Intent finally joins The Goldblum?

Until now, episodes of Law & Order: Criminal Intent featured only one cast member who is definitely a character.

Robert Goren, as played in strange fashion by Vincent D'Onofrio, is a New York police detective who always seems about one emotional push away from insanity.

Now Goren has some competition. Jeff Goldblum has joined the cast, playing Detective Zach Nichols, a man with a mysterious past and a strange present.

D'Onofrio and Goldblum will alternate weeks as new episodes of the series air on TV3.

[...] Goldblum, seated next to D'Onofrio, explains his character in a way only Goldblum could.

"Well, I don't think we find literally out a lot about my back story. But you kind of glean things from the way I go about things. You know, a little bit. But the specifics, hmm, it's rationed, rationed," he says.
