When we think of celebrities, we don't generally equate them with being geniuses.
After all, it doesn't seem to take much intelligence to be a star, but
considering how much money they make, maybe they are
smarter than we give them credit for!

and dreamed of becoming a professor.
Scott Levy AKA Raven
ECW wrestler Scott Levy, AKA Raven, might be one of the most surprising on this list.

Sometimes you have to do what you love!
Masi Oka
Masi Oka is most famous for playing Hero on the TV show Heroes, but he could have
pretty much done whatever he wanted since he scored a 189 on an IQ test he took when he
was a kid. He says that he is just book smart however and has no street smarts and is
always forgetting things! I guess IQ isn't everything!
