Actor/Actress with the Most Impeccable "Nerd" Credentials

[Sun Wukong]

Yo, fam, did anyone catch this one in here?

Lance Henriksen came closest to matching this feat. He was killed by a T-800 in the original "Terminator," and a Predator in "Alien vs Predator", but while he was ripped apart by an Alien in "Aliens" he didn't die because he was an android.

Do we count weird science as sci fi?

what about Frailty? is that considered sci fi?

Great movie

paranormal/religious thriller wouldn’t really call it sci fi

More like a psychological thriller with some horror elements. But it's a very underrated movie. Not big or flashy but very well directed by Paxton and with some great performances.

That movie is bananas.

I’m sure Katee Sackhoff has been mentioned in here already. But I’m rewatching the Mandalorian and she’s in a ton of dorky franchises. Battlestar Galactica, she’s done a ton of DC (live and voice work), even a Marvel video game. She’s gotta be geek royalty, right?

And as an added bonus her last name rhymes with what she makes me do.

And if I remember correctly, she comes to it naturally bc her dad was a big nerd
She brought him to BSG set and he geeked out
(this is fuzzy memory talking, fwiw)

Mandalorian set

As a daughter of a #StarWars fan, this was one of the best moments of my life My dad gave me my love for all things sci-fi, and being able to take it on set was a dream come true for both of us Thank you Disney, thank you Dave Filoni for creating this fierce woman and thank you to both Dave and Jon Favreau for believing I could take her to live action They have made the dream I had since childhood come true

She was fantastic in a season of 24 also. Not sci-fi, but still. She's got some depth in her acting chops and she's gorgeous to boot. Any show with her in it gets my attention, yeah.

And I just read that she and Karl Urban dated for several years. Can you imagine the geekdom singularity that the two of them could have spawned.

It would have to cancel out - they’d probably create the new Alex P Keaton or Dr Lilith from Cheers

Don’t forget Star Trek. She played an awesome Uhura.

I think Chris Pine has to be in the discussion now. Dungeons and Dragons is like double credit for a thread like this.
