Are you a trivia aficionado? If so, you probably know that UC Berkeley’s got some pretty big names attached to it — Nobel laureates, best-selling authors, hard-hitting journalists … and good ol’ fashioned celebrities. Curious to know how much you know about the alum who found his or her way to fame in the entertainment industry post-Cal? Then you’ve come to the right place. We’ll give you two celebrities — you guess which one is a fellow Golden Bear:
Round 1: Catherine Zeta-Jones or Chris Pine?
Answer: Chris Pine
You probably know him from “Star Trek.” But did you know that Chris Pine graduated from Cal with an English degree in 2002?
Round 2: Keanu Reeves or Morgan Webb?
Answer: Morgan Webb
Best known for hosting X-Play, Webb also graduated from Cal with a degree in rhetoric and a minor in Italian.
Round 3: Amy Poehler or Adam Lamberg?
Answer: Adam Lamberg
Remember Lizzie McGuire’s go-to guy, Gordo? He once attended UC Berkeley!
Round 4: Sanaa Lathan or Gregory Peck?
Answer: Both!
Peck is best known for his role as Atticus in “To Kill a Mockingbird,” and you might recognize Lathan from “Blade” and “Alien vs. Predator.” Both earned an English degree here at Cal.
