Will Ferrell
Will loves to make fun of his degree because he was one of the few graduates who acquired a degree in Sports Information from the University of South California before the program was discontinued. He graduated from the university in 1990 and would deliver the commencement speech in 2017, joking about the difficult course he had to pursue. Though he was saying it with a light touch, he points at a high drop-out rate that qualifies him to be the Navy Seal of USC. He considers himself a scholarly elite, and the brilliance can be traced to the prowess of his work.
Hugh Laurie
There’s a lot of hidden in facts in Hugh’s biography. He was training hard to qualify for Olympics! His interest in the human body goes further on his degree in Anthropology and Archaeology from Cambridge. Maybe this is why he was so good in Dr. House, it’s connected to his interests.
