In my limited acquaintance with actors which participated in dumb TV series, yes, they often do.
On that note, I have no idea if this is true, but wouldn't be surprised: https://www.reddit.com/r/gaming/comments/f2i7t/ive_written_for_tv_shows_like_csi_and_numbers/
The TV series "Numbers" referenced this prank twice in separate episodes - once, used as one of Charlie's graphic analogies - the display reading "CHARGE" had been hacked to read "RETREAT" - and once at the climax to a show where Peter MacNicol's astronomer character led a cabal of students on a quest to hack the Hollywood sign to read "CALTECH."
People have pulled much bigger hoaxes and pranks, sure; but since they took place outside of the hallowed halls of academia, they can't call them collegiate pranks.
My last point: This is the same Lyndon Hardy who wrote "Master of the Five Magics," "Secret of the Sixth Magic" and "Riddle of the Sven Realms," the "three science fiction novels" referred to in the article, correct? If so, I knew the author had come from Caltech - but I'd no idea he'd headed this ambitious project until today. You learn something new every day.
Kudos to the poster of this link. Thank you.
This reminds me of Numbers, where they just throw some crazy looking math stuff on a chalkboard but never really explain it. I hope the movie is better than that!
