My favorite is when Samuel L Jackson's movie characters have PhDs.  He
was a PhD mathematician in Sphere, and some kind of PhD in Deep Blue
Sea.

 He did actually study marine biology. Do you know something about either
subject?

I know blacks can't swim, so he wouldn't have made it as a marine biologist.
I bet he never took a single course in marine biology before he switched majors to something requiring zero intellectual effort.
And I read him admitting to some kind of credit card fraud back in collich.
And he's a convicted violent felon, of course:
"After Martin Luther King Jr.'s assassination in 1968, Jackson attended King's funeral in Atlanta as one of the ushers.[26] He then traveled to Memphis, Tennessee, to join an equal rights protest march. In a 2005 Parade interview, he said, "I was angry about the assassination, but I wasn't shocked by it. I knew that change was going to take something different—not sit-ins, not peaceful coexistence."[27] In 1969, Jackson and several other students held members of the Morehouse College board of trustees (including Martin Luther King Sr.) hostage on the campus, demanding reform in the school's curriculum and governance.[28] The college eventually agreed to change its policy, but Jackson was charged with and eventually convicted of unlawful confinement, a second-degree felony.[29] He was suspended for two years for his criminal record and his actions. He would later return to the college to earn a BA in drama in 1972.[30] While he was suspended, he took a job as a social worker in Los Angeles.[31] He decided to return to Atlanta, where he met with Stokely Carmichael, H. Rap Brown, and others active in the Black Power movement.[27] He began to feel empowered with his involvement in the movement, especially when the group began buying guns.[27] However, before he could become involved with any significant armed confrontations, his mother sent him to Los Angeles after the FBI warned her that he would die within a year if he remained with the group.[27] In a 2018 interview with Vogue, he denied having been a member of the Black Panther Party.[32]"
Of course he's your hero.
