I have decided that my linear algebra professor is some combination (a linear combination? ha ha) of three things:
1) The Mad Hatter as portrayed (voiced by Ed Wynn) in Disney's Alice in Wonderland;
2) Vizzini the criminal genius (played by Wallace Shawn) in The Princess Bride;
3) Some as yet unidentified third party (ideally from another brilliant and beloved movie of my youth). I'm missing an exuberant, but not crazy or devious, element here, also with a bit of self-deprecation. Any thoughts?

Gene Wilder as Willy Wonka?

Hey, good suggestions, guys. I will have to scrutinize these possibilities.
