I used to think that I could always tell smart people by their eyes, with the exclusion of blind people and people who are very ill or very tired. I still believe that the eyes are my first indicator and something that I perceive without thinking about it. It's just not as absolute as I once thought and that is principally because of actors.

I loved the West Wing and loved Jed Bartlett as President. I've liked Martin Sheen since I was a kid, but the man is dumber than toast. Not a good interview subject on talk shows. Another one that people think is smart because of the role is the girl from Alias. I'd compare her thinking more to navel lint. Also from seeing her on talk shows. I no longer remember the sort of things either of them said, but I realized I would never invite them to one of my salons! Take that!

So now I think that some people can fake being smart with acceptable or perhaps good acting. Others, as with David Hasselhoff, are unbelievable when they try to act smart.

I don't want to know if Tony Shalhoub is smart or stupid. Although his eyes make me think he's a very good actor...
