Along Came Polly, where an actuary happens to score with Jennifer Aniston. Who said life imitates art?

I'm still trying to find a copy of "Are You With It?" with Donald O'Connor as an actuary who loses his job when he misplaces a decimal and subsequently joins a carnival.

The decent guy in "Sweet Charity" is also an actuary.

He wasn't quite an actuary, but an underwriter.

. . . based on a book about a retired lawyer. Apparently Hollywood thought lawyers weren't nerdy enough, but actuaries were.
