You got Jeff Goldblum, Harold Ramis (Egon from Ghostbusters), Christpher Lloyd (Doc Brown from Back to the Future) to name a few. Any other actors that are sometimes type-cast as scientists?

Jeff Goldblum.
Goldblum has played scientists in lots of movies, or least similar roles, like in The Fly, Jurassic Park, Independence Day and others.
Christopher Lloyd only played a scientist in Back to the Future, and Harold Ramis only in Ghostbusters.
Goldblum wins (and he's watching you poop... see link below)

Christopher Lloyd is about the best.
Jerry Lewis in the original Nutty Professor was good, and Fred MacMurray in the Flubber Movies was good as well. Mother insisted that we watched the oldies version...now I am glad she did.

That guy who plays Data on Star Trek: TNG was good as the scientist in Independence Day.
No, wait - I agree with Gene Wilder

Great Scott! Before I even saw your options for an answer my thought was:
Christopher Lloyd

James Cromwell (Star Trek, First Contact)
"So, you're tellin' me that you guys came back in time to stop these Borg things from destroying the Earth?"
"Yeah, that about sums it up."
"Hot Damn, you're heroic."
