Luke Dunphy is … not the smartest young man on TV, but Nolan Gould is quite the opposite. He turns his personality around to play the adventurous Luke. The "Modern Family" star was part of the Scripps National Spelling Bee this week and is a member of Mensa with an IQ of 150. He showed Ellen DeGeneres, on "The Ellen Show," that he is made up of the real-smart stuff.
Nolan Gould and Atticus Shaffer were in the nationally televised Spelling Bee last week. But they’re only the genius child actors who’ve most recently wound up in the spotlight for something besides their acting chops. The Daily Beast rounds up the brainy kids with SAG cards.

This 13-year-old TV actor brings comedy to "The Middle" in his role as the smart kid. Turns out, Atticus Shaffer can relate more to that role than some might realize. He participated in the 2012 Scripps National Spelling Bee, televised live on ESPN this week. His appearance on Jimmy Kimmel was most likely after this young man’s bedtime, but he seemed to thoroughly enjoy it.
The child actor in "Mom’s Got a Date With a Vampire" tested in the 99th percentile on his IQ test—when he was 6. The TV George Little might have been a little nerdy, which is perfect for this member of Mensa. The now 20-year-old has been off the acting radar for a few years, but maybe he is off discovering a new scientific theory.
This MIT graduate earned a degree in physics and got a job working on missile defense for the U.S. government. He also went to Yale and received his juris doctor degree. Even when Charlie Korsmo was acting as a kid, his brain was wandering elsewhere—like to his science project, a working rain forest. His acting in "What About Bob?" and "Hook" was well received, but he definitely went on to accomplish a lot more.
Her little role on "The Big Bang Theory" was not big enough for this genius. The "Blossom" child star kept up the grades while acting and went to UCLA, after turning down Harvard and Yale. She left with a degree in neuroscience, but did not stop. The smart mom continued on to get her Ph.D. from UCLA.
The child genius always seems to be playing the younger version of somebody—he plays little Sylar in "Heroes" and little Chuck in NBC’s "Chuck." However, Joshua Rush has a mind of his own. The TV actor is bilingual (English and Spanish) and was featured on a local news segment in Texas on how to raise smart kids. When he was even younger, he could name cars by only their logos.
