most actors, contrary to what they play on the big screen, appear to actually be utterly brainless: e.g. Julianne Moore, despite being a fantastic actress is supposedly a total ditz irl; so let's post some legitimately intelligent and thoughtful thespians.
i for one nominate Bradley Cooper. never took the dude seriously until i watched A Star is Born and heard his interview with Mayo, the man has brains and actual talent

A Star is Born was surprise kino.
Colton Adams
both of Cooper and Gaga were surprisingly good, i agree
Aaron Brown
Christoph Waltz plays dastardly, intelligent characters with big personalities, but the dude himself seems like a complete wet blanket in interviews.
Andrew Martin
He's German you fucking racist.
Kayden Scott
i've noticed that too, his entire persona is "le bilingual man" (english doesn't count)
Hunter Robinson
Liam Bennett
Austrian

Hedy Lamarr was something of an inventor in her time. I believe she invented tech for scrambling submarine torpedoes before WWII that didn't come about until after the war had ended. Imagine how helpful it would've been against Japanese/German subs.
Cameron Barnes
how the fuck did he even get 2 oscars and golden globes? the win for Basterds was justified, that was a fantastic and memorable performance. how the hell he got another pair for Django baffles me to this day, his performance was nothing more than adequate
Nathaniel Garcia
Dolph Lundgren is a memeber of MENSA.
Hunter Butler
That also goes for Sylvester Stallone. Not MENSA mind you, but the guy is a lot smarter than his on-screen appearances suggest. People forget that he actually wrote the screenplay for Rocky and worked tirelessly to get it made.
Zachary Smith
lol
Luis Cooper
Ezra is an underappreciated genius in his own right: youtube.com
Ayden Morgan
Chase Perez
she's the poster child for brainless hollywood thots being fed their opinion to regurgitate on social networks and late night talk shows
Tyler Roberts
it's probably unfair to the rest of the actors involved to even mention him, but Stephen Fry
Christian Myers
James Woods
Natalie Portman
John Cleese
Jayne Mansfield
Dominic Jenkins
ken jeong has an md even though he's just the asian tracy morgan
Anthony Anderson
>James Woods
If he's so smart then why is he a racist and a republican?
Ian Garcia
>Hedy
It's Hedley
Nathan Butler
correction, young hollywood actors in general, not just thots
>Jayne Mansfield
who's she and what'd she do to offend the blue checkmarks
Dominic Gonzalez
checkmate athiests
Colton Hughes
Tommy Lee Jones
Bentley Flores
Pretty much all the Monty Python lot are Oxford grads, I believe. And Terry Gilliam speaks for himself
Hunter Sanchez
And they say Yea Forums is devoid of humor.
Lucas King
I always thought of Gene Hackman as that. Makes sense that he gave up acting too.
Jacob Morris
Lisa Kudrow is a scientist and has an IQ of 164 or something.
Christopher Nguyen
Jodie Foster
Thomas Smith
she's the inventor of the mansfield bar
Anthony Cox
He's very intelligent which comes through in the more serious interviews he made. This is something people don't know about 80s action guys. Arnie is fucking sharp, too. They were the real deal. I'm not sure any of the current superhero guys is anywhere near the intelligence level of Arnie, Sly and Dolph
Ryder Wright
benadryl cum'n'dash, tom hiddleston and iron manlet seem outwardly intelligent enough
Zachary Sullivan
Ken jeong is a litteral MD
That uggo sloot from TBBT has some sort of masters
Oliver Scott
masters doesn't mean anything, Ken's MD is far more impressive
