Harrison Ford as Indiana Jones. Dude is supposed to be an archeologist but he's too busy breaking & entering into sacred temples while trampling artifacts to get his dirty hands on some golden relic for profit. Smdh

50 Cent as a computer scientist.
Okay but that's more of a failure of character writing than a failure of casting.
You're comparing archeology today with the field's rather sorted past rooted in imperialism. They point out this issue in several, if not all, of the movies. This issue also comes up multiple times in the latest game. Nobody is denying that Dr. Jones is an outlier and a rogue amongst his peers. That conflict is like that core of the character's motivation throughout. He's a hero of western imperialism fighting fascist imperialism. We tend to view ALL imperialism in a negative light today (as it should be), but that certainly wasn't the case when we were fighting literal Nazis.
i know many white centrists who are not at all against western imperialism. id argue most white american centrists (and all right wingers) are in favor of western imperialism
To be fair, it’s all he’s got going on. His life is in ruins.
That guy they got to play Stephen Hawking in ST:TNG
You mean Stephen Hawking?
Yes
Dude couldn't act at all, sounded downright robotic.
Oh yeah, he was one of those actors that could only play himself one way or the other
Tim Curry as Dr. Frank-N-Furter.
No, you are very wrong. Tim Curry could be anything wanted to be, and I believe a transvestite scientist is definitely within the realm of possibilities.
Glasses and nerd clothing and we're good to go.
There's a lot of people in this thread proudly sharing how they stereotype and have preconceptions about people that they don't actually know. And them their justification is that everyone should be a two dimensional single issue character archetype with literally no conflict or contradictions. Have you people even met any adults, especially professionals and academics, that aren't your parents or your teachers?
I mean, I guess Mark Wahlberg could be a teacher, but he'd be one of the ones that gets arrested for something after a year or two.
Because he would be dancing around in his underwear with no shirt to his hit with Marky Mark and the Funky Bunch! Lmao! He’s not believable in anything let’s be honest!
This is Keanu in Chain Reaction all day long and all night. See also Keanu in The Watcher for least convincing serial killer.
Henry Rollins in Johnny Mnemonic. Dude had to play a super nerdy doctor, basically a wet noodle. Let's cast a guy with a nine inch neck and could actually water his way through most of the bad guy minions.
Eiza González, Three Body Problem
Not "Scientist", but Mark Wahlberg as a science teacher in The Happening and as an inventor in Transformers 4.
