Actor/Actress with the Most Impeccable "Nerd" Credentials (2 Viewers)

Ian Holm was in more stuff than I realized.

Alien, Time Bandits, Brazil, Naked Lunch, Frankenstein, The Fifth Element, eXistenZ, The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Rings, The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King, The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey, The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug, The Hobbit: Battle of the 5 armies

And Harrison Ford, of course.

And Arnold Schwarzenegger.

But, I'd probably go with Hugo Weaving. Since the Matrix, he's been in seemingly everything.
 
She's in MCU also. Hela or whatever.

Not sure that's enough for "nerd cred"

she's barely in LOTR and if Thor counts then every actor in the MCU counts (especially the Avengers actors)

Has Hugh Jackman been mentioned?

If not - Hugh Jackson

If we've agreed that voice actors count I'll add Steve Blum - seems that dude has a role in every anime English dub
 
Oscar Isaac is starting to work his way into the discussion. MCU, Star Wars....
 
I still think Karl Urban is the nerd king in terms of overall body of work. Anyone else make a case for better?

Dude is laying it on with a role in this new The Boys show. Also, I believe he had a recurring role in Xena. Pretty tough to match up with him.

Urban also player a major character in The Chronicles of Riddick, was main character in that TV series where he was a cop and a robot was his partner, main character in Pathfinder, where he plays a Viking adopted by Native Americans (which is speculative fiction); he was in the Doom movie...
 
I am going with Mel Blanc. The "man of a 1000 voices".He was the voice for almost every beloved cartoon character of the 60's and 70's. From Bugs Bunny to Barny Rubble. He was also the Voice for Twikki the robot on the Buck Rogers tv show in 1980-82.
 
Mayim Bialik.

She first came to mind when I read the title of this thread. How many other Hollywood actors have a science PhD ? Unfortunately she's also an a anti-vaxxer nutjob so gets marked down.

But then I read the thread which redefined "nerd cred" as "being in comic book/sci fi/fantasy movies", which by that standard she has zero unless you count The Big Bang Theory.
