Ok I don't want to be a pain nor a hater, but I believe none of you guys answered the question correctly. The question goes; "Who would you grant the most intelligent from the two actors." And I saw everyone answering Jack Bauer, but the question asked about the actors, not the characters they portrayed. If the question were "Who would you grant the most intelligent from the two characters" then I would probably suggest that both Bauer and Scofield would give each other a hard time, but Bauer would probably come out on top at the end, but then again, the question was about the actors, not the characters. Having this cleared out, it is obvious that the answer would be Wentworth Miller (Michael Scofield); why? Because if you've been following these two actors movements off the screen, then you already know that Kiefer Sutherland likes to make a fool out of himself by getting drunk quite frequently and removing his pants in public for everyone to see his underwear. Wentworth on the other hand was a straight A's student and he graduated from Princeton University and he has never done anything stupid such as running around with half of his clothes removed and drunk.
