Actor, hands down. The top dogs make $25-$60 million for six months work just doing what they do (the blockbuster stars like Will Smith, Brad Pitt, Harrison Ford, Leo, etc aren't really all that versatile for the most part). No wear and tear on their bodies like athletes. No need to be creative in the studio or spend 150 nights touring like musicians.

Actors statistically are the most intelligent among celebrities (outside big-name businessmen and politicians). That's probably why they get the sweetest gig.


All of this. If we're talking be famous with the least amount of effort, it's this. One major injury and you'd never be the same in sports. Actors can get endorsements, have outlets like (syndication payouts if they are smart), and long term deals. And you really only have to work a few months out of the year.

Musician.

You can get drunk, high, jam out in front of thousands of people on nights, then get free sex after the concerts.

Not to mention the great road trips.

I'd be a MLB Starting Pitcher. Pitch every 5th day and workout in some of the best facilities on your off days. Have a nice 10-12 year career and call it quits.

First, we said "famous actors." Second, "been to college" isn't some absolutely qualifying factor in determining intelligence, though I'd bet most top actors have studied at a University. Third, most athletes and musicians didn't exactly spend their 2-4 semesters on the Dean's list. Fourth, a number of top Hollywood actors apparently have ties to high-IQ societies. I can't say the same for most top-tier jocks or musicians.

Musician. Athletics is for the young. Actors create little. The better musicians, I'm assuming Rock or Jazz write their own pieces.
