Hollywood's Secret Brainiacs.
 WENTWORTH MILLER Alma Mater: Princeton University Major: English Did He Graduate? Yes. He earned his B.A. in 1995 Prison Break mastermind – and a sweet baritone? Miller performed with the Princeton a cappella group the Tigertones. "He was our secret weapon," fellow crooner Yungbin Kim told The Daily Princetonian. He was also controversial, publishing a cartoon in the school paper that some deemed "racist." (His depiction of an African-American professor as "newly purchased" – an academic term referring to a newly hired professor – was viewed as a reference to slavery.)
 BRAD PITT Alma Mater: University of Missouri Major: Advertising Did He Graduate? No. Pitt left school two credits shy of a degree. In his last semester, Pitt, a wannabe art director, started up "Men of Mizzou," a beefcake version of a school calendar, but never finished. Instead he took off for California. "I decided everyone was applying for a job or getting married," Pitt has said, "and I didn't want to do either."
 DENZEL WASHINGTON Alma Mater: Fordham University Major: Journalism Did He Graduate? Yes. He earned his B.A. in 1977 Washington originally enrolled to study journalism and medicine, but interest in those fields faded once he landed roles in the school's production of The Emperor Jones and Othello. He also found time for the basketball court, playing on the school's junior varsity team under coach P.J. Carlesimo, who went on to lead the NBA's Golden State Warriors.
 JERRY SEINFELD Alma Mater: Queens College Majors: Theater and Communications Did He Graduate? Yes. He earned his B.A. in 1976(honor doctorate in 1994) The comic has joked that his best memory of college was the time he found a parking spot near campus, and it was at the New York school that he realized his life's ambition to pursue standup. He's since established the Seinfeld scholarship to help N.Y.C. public high school graduates (like himself) attend the universities of their choice.
 MATTHEW FOX Alma Mater: Columbia University Major: Economics Did He Graduate? Yes, he earned his B.A. in 1989 Back in school, the Lost actor was a football star, playing in the landmark match that ended the Lions' 44-game losing streak. This past May, Fox received a standing ovation after he delivered the keynote address at "Class Day," telling students, "Live for your own passion."
 SOPHIA BUSH Alma Mater: University of Southern California Major: Journalism Did She Graduate? No. Bush left school after landing One Tree Hill The popular coed was crowned the Tournament of Roses Parade Queen in 2000, and was a member of Kappa Kappa Gamma before she dropped out to play Brooke on One Tree Hill. "I'd love to go back and graduate," she has said. "I would love one day to write a book."
 LUCY LIU Alma Mater: University of Michigan Major: Chinese Languages and Cultures Did She Graduate? Yes. She earned her B.A. in 1990 After one year at New York University, Liu transferred to the University of Michigan, where she discovered her love of acting during her senior year. Liu, a member of Chi Omega, landed the lead in the school's production of Alice in Wonderland.
 LISA KUDROW Alma Mater: Vassar College Major: Biology Did She Graduate? Yes. She earned her B.A. in 1985 A far cry from her flaky Friends alter ego, Phoebe, Kudrow was a serious competitor on the school's tennis team and a hands-on lab partner: "In college I castrated 21 rats," she has said. "I got pretty good at it!" In fact, Kudrow planned on a career in medical research before her brother's friend, comic Jon Lovitz, convinced her to try comedy.
