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!

I do literally know a few scientists that are this hot, though.

Not "Scientist", but Mark Wahlberg as a science teacher in The Happening and as an inventor in Transformers 4.

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.

Henry Rollins would be a better philosopher.

Ryan Gosling in the upcoming Project Hail Mary

I'm sure it'll be fine, but that casting choice wouldn't have been my first pick.

Glasses and nerd clothing and we're good to go.
