Steve Martin is well known for playing the part of dopey guys, but the comic actor isn’t all fun and games. When it comes to knowing his stuff, he really knows it. Martin is a member of MENSA with an IQ of 142 (the national average is 98).

Before choosing acting as his named profession, he considered becoming a college lecturer. It might be difficult to believe considering some of the roles he’s played, but he’d definitely be able to out-smart us in a battle of the brains, no doubt about it.
