Who are the most intelligent actors?

[Hades]

Many dropouts are smarter than average, but often have personal problems that make completing high school impossible. Many times, they often get their act together afterwards and make up for it in the end.

Ha, that's like me. I'm incredibly behind in school, but all my teachers say I'm smart.

Anyway, Keanu Reeves is also pretty smart. Heard his I.Q. is somewhere around 160.

 

[xwolverine2]

morgon freeman..........DUH!

 

[Tangled Web]

Jealous much?

I'm so jealous of that horrible actress. I'm jealous of the way she opens her mouth and arrogance comes out.

 

[Danalys]

i'm going for malkovich. perhaps he just knows alot tho and isn't so intelligent. or perhaps it's tactical intelligence.

 

[Ronny Shade]

In answer to this question, I'd have to say Paul Walker

 

[freelancer]

Hugh Laurie is very intelligent and very funny.

 

[Tangled Web]

Hugh Laurie is very intelligent and very funny.

That's true. Then again, that's true with most British actors. Ian McKellen and Patrick Stewart are other examples.

 

[Jack O'Lantern]

Ben Stein is probably among the most intelligent in terms of raw intelligence. He's incredibly qualified.

Damn, you stole my example. Didnt Stein have a perfect score on the SAT? Correct me if I'm wrong, but a score of 1600 equates to an IQ score of 160, making That Boring Teacher From Ferris Bueller's Day Off a literal genius.

 

[Tangled Web]

Dr. Bill Cosby is also very smart.

Morgan seems like a wise old sage to me.

I don't think they correlate like that (I wish they did. If so I'm a genius). I do think he got a 1600 though, and I believe I've seen elsewhere he is literally a genius.

 

[Danalys]

they gave us a standardised IQ test at my junior school. your IQ often goes down with age tho. but since i got them all right i can't be sure what my IQ is now.

I think the decrease doesn't happen until you're already into middle age. Not sure though.

 

[Gamma Ray]

Ashton Kutcher

Ummmmm................... No.

 

[da creole kid]

Carter- Being booksmart just means that you a wealth of knowledge. But if you can' t put that knowledge into any creative use then you are not that intelligent. In other words, regurgitating what you were told is not something to be admired for.

Gamma Ray- If you ever seen, Ashton Kutcher on Conan O'Brien or David Letterman, the guy is actually smart. However, he has a bit of that stereotypical "Midwestern mischeivious townie" in him- which makes come off as obnoxious. Being obnoxious doesn't make you stupid- it is just that you pronounced prickish side.

 

[Asr]

Julia Stiles

I'm surprised no one's mentioned her yet. She went to frickin Columbia.

 

[Spider-X]

George Carlin and Robin Williams come to mind...

 

[Batty for Bats!]

Julia Stiles

Billy Zane and Julia Stiles. Natalie Portman and Clint Eastwood. Alec Baldwin and Diane Lane.

[the_joker]

Not all British actors are clever though, Jude Law looks dumb. But for the most intelligent, I'll go for Judi Dench and Anthony Hopkins.

I've actually heard him speak at functions. He's very cerebral and well-spoken. He's a lot more intelligent than people sometimes give him credit for being. One reason people don't think he's smart is because of his slurred speech, but that's due to congenital defect. It's understandable people would think that about him.

Yeah, he's really well-spoken if you get a chance to listen to him talk. I think he's a star who's time has probably passed, but his initial skill in entertainment was actually as a writer. He was a pretty creative and original thinker early in his career.
