Samuel L Jackson has been a scientist a couple times and none of them made sense.

Krysten Ritter in Orphan Black: Echos. They gave her glasses and a blazer and it was not convincing.

I've met computer nerds who look like 50, but I haven't seen the media the image is from so maybe his acting sucked, idk.

I recently watched Rise of the Planet of the Apes, so James Franco as the scientist/dad. Like seriously, we’re rebooting such a classic and James Franco is the best we could come up with??

Tara Reid as an archaeologist and museum curator in Alone in the Dark. In fact the only good thing about that movie was the soundtrack.

Ice cube in whatever the fuck he's doing in the war of the world rehash on prime. From the trailer it just looks like ice cube is reacting to chat about mid af cgi videos

It's one of those where you just watch the pitch meeting of it instead of the movie

Not "Scientist", but Mark Wahlberg as a science teacher in The Happening and as an inventor in Transformers 4.

It’s not a statement of actors, but I’ll take any chance to share Kyle Kinane. He had a bit where he basically tears apart all the main actors in The Fast and the Furious franchise and it’s amazing. Hopefully this fits within the thread rules.
