Harrison Ford, Gwyneth Paltrow and Jim Carrey were just some of the names in the running!

The movie's casting director had always considered Jeff Goldblum the perfect choice for the role of the erratic mathematician, but one other up-and-coming Hollywood star did almost get the part: Jim Carrey. This would've been before 1994, the year Carrey took over the cinema-going world with his hat-trick of Ace Venture Pet Detective, The Mask and Dumb & Dumber.
