* Doc Brown from ''Film/BackToTheFuture'' has wild white hair that sticks out in all directions. In 1985, he has a dog named Einstein, who is his first living test subject for his time-travel experiments, and much of the movie takes place in 1955, the same year Einstein died.

%% ZCE * Wheeljack from ''[[Film/{{Transformers}} Transformers: Dark of the Moon]]'' has wiring on his head that gives him this appearance.

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gj8IA6xOpSk Clifford Stoll]], a rather quirky astronomer, author, and [[TheTriple maker of Klein bottles]], has a waft of smoky hair that sticks out in all directions.

* One of the stock NPC scientists in ''VideoGame/HalfLife1'' looked like Einstein.

* Dr. Wily of ''VideoGame/MegaManClassic'' has an exaggerated form of this trope, with a more prominent bald spot and both his hair and mustache being bushier. His first name is also Albert, making him practically an evil {{Expy}} of Einstein. Nobody's quite sure why Capcom made the villain so clearly Einsteinian, but a popular (half)joke theory is that it's some lingering anger over the Atomic Bomb.

* Creator/RankinBassProductions ''Willy [=McBean=] and his Magic Machine''. MadScientist [[ObviouslyEvil Rasputin Von Rotton]] has this trope, and a scene showing the moment where he truly goes insane has his hair suddenly sprouting like it's been plugged into a Van de Graaff generator. At the end of the movie the KidHero has an OhCrap on seeing his new history teacher has this trope, only to reveal himself as someone else when he turns round ([[BaitAndSwitch then Von Rotton enters the room as a guest lecturer]], but fortunately he's done a HeelFaceTurn).
