You have to appreciate the Native American culture/life to understand why Hollywood does not understand nor appreciate the true Americans of this country. Natives make big money for the industry and not well respected for their skills and talents. Many thanks to Michael, his work and all native actors.

Now that you mention it, I guess he’s not bad-looking. I just found him so creepy on Heroes.

He played Spock. It doesn’t get any nerdier then that, and he’s gorgeous.

I recently became a fan of Richard Armitage by watching MI-5/Spooks. Would love to put him on list but couldn’t find anything nerdy about him!

Welcome to PCN! Thanks so much for your long and passionate comment. I love when people share their opinions so please, no need to apologize.

You have some good people on your list. Topher Grace is adorable! Rickman, Bettany, Oka, Leonard, Fillion are all fantastic. I’ve gotten so many great responses to this list that I’ve now decided to make it an annual feature. I’ll release the second list this May, on the first anniversary of this one.

I love this topic. I’m joining the club a little late, but, well, I couldn’t resist.

I am so glad someone mentioned _Penelope_; it might not be McAvoy’s nerdiest role, but it’s a sweet movie and he’s adorable in it. It’s an example of what happens when you take a simple, fun movie and put talented people in it (himself, Christina Ricci, etc). Also, check him out in _Shakespeare Retold: Macbeth_ (available on Netflix watch now, at least) as the title character.

Putting aside some less famous actors with a potential nerd quotient (Peter Wingfield, anyone?), how about Alan Rickman? His range is incredible. From villains in _Die Hard_ and _Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves_, to the tender, quiet Colonel in _Sense and Sensibility_, the deeper-than-he-looks Professor Snape, the comedy (& occasional sadness) of _Galaxy Quest_, and I can’t not include his textured performance from _Blowdry_.

Have to put a vote in for Topher Grace. Adorably nerdy in _That 70s Show_. His movies have been up and down, but he was often good regardless. I know a lot of people are Tobey Maguire fans, but I would’ve liked to see what he could’ve done as Peter Parker.

I continue to have mixed feelings about Brad Pitt, but I can go along with your reasoning. I still don’t find him hot, but movies like _Burn After Reading_ make me like him as an actor. Colin Firth, Hugh Laurie, Robert Downey, Jr.–all fantastic. I’m not a big fan of bawdy comedies, but Paul Rudd is adorable.

There’s so many adorable, goofy, nerdy actors out there: Paul Bettany, Masi Oka, Robert Sean Leonard (overshadowed, perhaps, by Hugh Laurie, he is still adorable yet imperfect), Nathan Fillion, and so on. To classic actors who could be goofy AND sexy, I’d add Cary Grant, Peter O’Toole, and William Powell.

Thank you for bringing this up and for putting together a great list!

(p.s. In retrospect this is a really long comment. I don’t often comment online; if this is bad form, I apologize.)

Had to put Colin up in this section since I like looking at his face.

Harry Connick Jr. would be a great addition to this list! Love him. As for Crais, he’s top of another list but I won’t tell you the name of it!

It’s an older post, but I couldn’t resist. LOVE Colin Firth…love Hugh Laurie. The name I’d definitely need to add would be *sigh* Harry Connick, Jr. And *cough* can R.C. make this list or does acting status need to be on their resumes?

I’ve been collecting names for the female nerdy hot list and hope to publish it soon. Thanks for your suggestions!
