Actor/Actress with the Most Impeccable "Nerd" Credentials (3 Viewers)

[guidomerkinsrules]

Sigourney is probably the strongest female candidate. I can't think of anyone else really that close right now.
.

Tatiana Maslany can give her stiff competition with just one tv show

 

[Soundwave]

Mark Hamill

He is THE JOKER after all

 

[Taurus]

Wil Wheaton

 

[TheRealJRad]

If it's sci-fi genre as being "nerd", I'd submit Sigourney Weaver. Alien movies, Ghostbusters 1 and 2, Galaxy Quest, Avatar. Maybe there's more, those just come to mind.

Wasn’t she in Paul, too? Do we count that?

Edit: (she was)

 

[Doug B]

I didn't think of Warwick Davis. Holy crap, he might just win the thing.

(off to check Peter Dinklage)

 

[Paul]

Don’t forget about Andy Serkis...

 

[billinms]

Simon Pegg has had a pretty good run. The Edgar Wright movies, 3 STar Trek movies, SW TFA, Paul, Star Wars voice work (games), Cloverfield Paradox (voice), and I'm sure more.

Peter Dinklage:

Game of Thrones
Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian
X-Men: Days of Future Past
Avengers: Infinity War
Pixels (yeah, I know )

... meh, not as much as I was expecting.

 

[billinms]

Just occurred to me, without looking at his IMDB, Lance Hennrikson probably has everybody beat.

 

[SystemShock]

I didn't think of Warwick Davis. Holy crap, he might just win the thing.

Out of curiosity, I went to the IMDB, and yeah, I don't think anyone listed here (or even non-listed) can beat his sci-fi/fantasy resume.

[Optimus Prime]

Not sure that his roles in Cowboys and Aliens and Ender's Game move the needle that much.

No sir. They do not

 

[Optimus Prime]

He loses the quantity and variety battles but you can argue that William Shatner as Captain Kirk rules them all

Also a sci fi author (Tek war series, which I’ve never read, more than a few trek books)

Don’t forget about Andy Serkis...

hunh...???
that's a good and complicated question
like most things i guess it would be important to define terms/boundaries

but if people are including voice work then i guess you have to include mocap work also

I admittedly guessed at it. I’m not a nerd.

Anymore.
