50 Cent as a computer scientist.
Wow, I didn't realize it was Hugh Jackman playing that role until today.

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.
The guy who played John Chriton in Farscape.
He was very suited to the action and comedy stuff in the show, but there's just something kinda gormless about his face that made him mathing out and frantically writing sums on the floor seem more unbelievable than the muppet space opera going on around him.

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
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??
Honestly, that one I can't agree with. While none of them are in scientific fields, James Franco is a rogue scholar who holds 4 MFAs and 2 PhDs. They could have picked MUCH worse and less educated people. He also avidly researches science and technology as he pursues the craft of writing science fiction.

Samuel L Jackson has been a scientist a couple times and none of them made sense.
Hold on to your butts.
Not scientist but Ludacris is like a master fucking hacker in Fast and Furious right, that's very not believable.
it has to be Mark Wahlberg in the Happening I think as the most unbelievable "scientist" casting and then followed up by misunderstood actual genius engineer in Transformers.
The one that instantly sprung to mind was Denise Richards as nuclear physicist Dr. Christmas Jones in The World Is Not Enough.
Alexandra Daddario in the AMC show The Mayfair Witches.
She ostensibly plays a brilliant brain surgeon. She starts experiencing some spooky witch and demon-related goings on.
She meets up with a guy working for a paranormal research group. He tells her in no uncertain terms "Do not leave this magically-protected apartment. You are in great danger." She agrees.
Five minutes later she walks out of the apartment onto the street. She immediately wanders into a New Orleans street party, is handed an open drink from a stranger, drinks it, and whoopsy daisy gets magically roofied into a demon-engineered hallucination of her dead mother.
Brilliant. Brain. Surgeon.
