Some are quite surprising. E.g., Rowen Atkinson has a masters in electrical engineering from Oxford. Even if he is a terrible engineer it takes some smarts to progress that far in EE.

Probably have seen most, onward

It's shocking is that Mayim Bialik, PhD in neuroscience biology, is anti-vaccine.

That's only shocking if you have tunnel vision and paid no attention to the rest of the caption:

Mayim Bialik doesn't just play a genius on "The Big Bang Theory." She also triple majored as an undergrad at UCLA in Hebrew, Jewish studies and neuroscience and then earned a Ph.D. in neuroscience.

She also majored in Hebrew and Jewish studies. AKA the ancient philosophy that God did it.

I want to see a doctor series starring Ken and the character doctor spaceman from 30 rock.



Mira Sorvino should be on the list. She has degrees in Chinese history and literature and something else which I cant remember. I am still holding a candle for her dont tell my wife.

I had read that yesterday. I was suprised Atkinson has a masters in Electrical engineering. Didn't know he was that smart a guy.

a few of t hem are impressive. i guess though having to be a actor and memorize all those lines and actions you can't be a idiot.

one of the reasons i am not a actor...oh and the fact i am a fucking ugly dude.

I know Rachel Nichols has a degree in math and economics from Columbia.

 

[Rakehellion]

"Actress Lupita Nyong'o, who won an Academy Award for her work in "12 Years A Slave," has a master of fine arts from the Yale School of Drama."

Imagine that, a professional actor with a degree in acting. I. Am. Shocked.

 

[Rakehellion]

I've never even heard of most of these people.

 

[JManInPhoenix]

I doubt he really has earned a degree in anything, but I digress.

Don't think her vaccination positions have anything to do with religious beliefs. Unless you count veganism as a religion.

 

[mrjminer]

I never would have guessed Dolph Lungren had a degree in anything other than beating the shit out of guys.

 

[zinfamous]

Dolph Lundgren has a masters in chemical engineering and was awarded a Fulbright Scholarship to MIT and James Franco has a Ph.D in English from Yale.

he also has a high iq and served in the swedish amphibious commandos

and he sexed-up Tia Carrere.

dang, Lundgren is a straight-up Badass

 

[GagHalfrunt]

he also has a high iq and served in the swedish amphibious commandos

So apparently he's good at everything except acting.

Duh-duh-chhhhhhhhhh

But it is true :biggrin:

They make fun of it in Expendables 2.

And no Natalie Portman? Wtf?

It was psychology, from Wikipedia. I knew it wouldn't be acting.

 

[Printer Bandit]

No care if not math or science degree.

 

[BladeVenom]

Brian May was the first one I thought of. Actors having degrees in literature isn't surprising. Actors having degrees in science, like Dolph Lundgren having a degree in chemical engineering, is more unexpected.

Bunch of them have science degrees. Lundgren has a masters in ChemE. Atkinson has a masters in EE. Never would have guessed.
