* Creator/JeffGoldblum technically has ''four'' deaths in ''Film/InvasionOfTheBodySnatchers1978'' (in order the first two attempts at Pod!Jack, Jack himself, and his pod person replacement). From there, other characters of his who bite the dust -- usually disreputable sorts -- are [[Film/{{Silverado}} Calvin "Slick" Stanhope]] (HoistByHisOwnPetard of the knife in his boot), [[Film/TheFly1986 Seth Brundle/Brundlefly]] (MercyKill shotgun blast to the head), [[NoNameGiven the Pianist]] in ''The Favour, the Watch and the Very Big Fish'' (tried to WalkOnWater and failed, though this might be suicide), [[Film/DeepCover David Jason]] (shot), Agent Fulbright (''Fay Grim''; car bomb), [[Film/TheGrandBudapestHotel Deputy Kovacs]] (knife attack, and this was after his poor cat was slain), [[Film/{{Mortdecai}} Milton Krampf]] (stabbed), and [[Film/HotelArtemis "Niagara"]] (throat ripped out). He's also played two characters who die but recover -- Film/MisterFrost's ''physical'' body dies but since he's actually {{Satan}} he can just pull a GrandTheftMe, and the plot of ''Literature/{{Hideaway}}'' kicks off when Hatch Harrison is medically brought back from the dead after drowning in a car accident. As a hoodlum in ''Chain of Fools'', he suffers a RasputinianDeath as a RunningGag. Ironically enough, he averts this in one of his biggest roles, [[Film/JurassicPark Ian Malcolm]], who was SparedByTheAdaptation (the literary Malcolm's death even gets retconned in [[Literature/TheLostWorld the sequel]]).
