I haven't seen the movie but I remember someone talking about Denise Richards playing a nuclear physicist as one of the most ridiculous things. Don't know which movie though.

50 Cent as a computer scientist.
Are you thinking her Bond movie, The World is Not Enough? I don't think she was cast because of her ability to accurately portray a scientist...

Scientits on the other hand... 😏
The world is not enough, James Bond. And her name was Christmas Jones so that Bond could make a joke about Christmas coming more than once a year.

James Bond: The World is Not Enough. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0143145/
She played Dr. Christmas Jones and is still the least believable part of any James Bond movie
But was still a fun character and it was a ludicrous but fun movie. At that time, they were leaning into the cheesez rather than trying for gritty, in the Daniel Craig era.
She herself refers to how she played a “nuke-ular psychiatrist in a James Bonk movie” in the episode of 30 Rock where she and Tracy are leading a protest of NBC by their fellow idiots. 🤣
I completely forgot about beer cans that told you how cold they were!
Charlie Sheen as an astronomer in The Arrival.
Ice cube pulled off being a modern social media user in the new war of the worlds themed ad, he didnt even know how to leave the house

Racism and sexism on display with this post and comments. cmon, be better.
nic cageism is a serious blight on society
That too lol
Did you just have that in the chamber expecting different comments? The overwhelming number of comments here are white, male actors. In fact, so far, only 3 women have even been mentioned.
You look like a fool.
I do not. But thanks for the being civil.
List of women incapable of convincingly playing incoming...
More serious: Ben Affleck and Robert Pattinson as Batman?
Robert Pattinson did batman extremely well.
And Affleck was nowhere close to the worst thing thing in those movies...

Entire cast of tbbt, incl. Hawking.
Dolph Lundgren in Expendables shows some unusual skills in chemical science.
And yes, I know that Dolph Lundgren studied chemistry IRL
He didn't just "study" he has a Master's Degree in Chemical Engineering and received a Fulbright Scholoarship at MIT. Pretty spot-on casting honestly.
Dolph Lundgren can smell crime!
Don't think you can beat oceanographer Debbie Gibson in Megashark v Giant Octopus.
Easy. Christopher Judge in Mega Shark Versus Mecha Shark.
I see your Christopher Judge and raise you Tiffany in Mega Pirahna.
Steven Seagal playing Wesley McClaren, a doctor and former government research immunologist in this masterpiece:
Imagine trying to rent a mediocre Gibson movie and accidentally getting a shitty Seagal movie instead!

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.
Giancarlo Esposito as Gustavo Fring, the Chilean in Breaking Bad. His Spanish was not Chilean at all and there are hardly any African Chileans (especially not in the era during which he was supposedly in Chile).

Jeff Goldblum in Jurassic Park?
Jeff Goldblum is the worst example, he's always a scientist!
It's the glasses. They make him a nerd apparently.
